	~~This page is a '''draft''' intended to explain what are the cool features of '''''VLC media player 0.9''''', codename '''Grishenko'''.~~		#redirect[[What_is_cool_in_0.9]]

	~~Think about it as a "Cool features from kernelnewbies"-like page.~~


	~~== Short summary ==~~

	~~The 0.9.0 version of {{VLC}} adds a new interface module for Linux, Unix and Windows, a media library and an improved playlist, many new inputs and codecs support and many new audio and video filters.~~

	~~For video playback, new protocols, new codecs, new demuxers and many bugfixes have been added to support more formats.~~

	~~For audio playback, cover art and metadata support (and editing) have been vastly enhanced. It can play audio when the playback speed is changed.~~

	For the developers, libVLC has been simplified and improved, many bindings for many languages were added and there is a new Mac OS X Framework. Scripts written in lua can expand VLC media player's capacities.

	~~For more details, please read~~ [[~~Next_changes]]~~.

	~~== Interface ==~~

	~~A new interface module based on the Qt toolkit has been added to VLC. If you are a GNOME user, '''before trolling''', please read [[Qt and GTK\|this~~]].

	~~This new interface module has a few improvements on the old one:~~
	* Simplified settings and dialogs
	* Media library integration
	* Album art displaying and metadata editing
	* Live activation of Video and audio filters
	* Basic encoding profiles
	* Multiple start modes (classic, enhanced and minimalist)
	* System tray icon and minimizing
	* Fullscreen controler
	~~And many other improvements and bugfixes.~~

	~~Moreover, some global hotkeys plugin can be found on the forum.~~

	~~== Playlist ==~~

	~~The playlist has been improved in many ways, in addition to the new Media Library ''(very simple so far, but will be extended in the future)'':~~
	* Live Searching in the playlist,
	* Youtube, Dailymotion, Google Video and similar services URL can be scripted in VLC to play directly those URLs,
	* last.fm submission support,
	* Album art support,
	* Better metadata tagging reading and writing support for audio files.

	~~== Playback ==~~

	~~A lot of new decoders, demuxers, and protocols have been added.~~

	There are new codecs support, like Flash video variants, Camescope codecs (M2TS ones), Dirac, Atrac3, H.264 PAFF, APE audio, RealVideo, VC-3, Fraps and others, but also better decoding and better performance.

	~~There are improvements in the demuxers and new supports (subtitles format rework with many new formats, Tivo2, OMA, MIDI support...).~~

	~~Tag supports of audio files have vastly been improved(fix of APE, AAC, OGG tags,...)~~

	~~This version also supports DVB windows devices (BDA), iSight webcams, v4l2 on linux and many other ones.~~

	~~== Filters ==~~

	~~Many new audio and video filters have been added:~~
	* New video filters like puzzle game, colour extracting, sharpen, logo erasing, bluescreen and more have been added.
	* New audio filters have introduced Replay Gain support, Faster/Slower audio playback with pitch correction and a spatializer.

	~~Most video filters can now be streamed.~~

	~~== Developers ==~~

	* libVLC has been rewritten ? and supports externally built plugins
	* VLCKit, a Mac OS X Framework, enables external developers to develop applications around VLC.
	* New bindings can be found on the wiki and the forums

	~~== Misc ==~~

	~~A new update system, more secured, was developed for this release.~~

	~~New localizations in Finnish, Persian, Polish, Punjabi, Bulgarian have joined the old ones.~~
