| | #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.
