Changes between 0.8.6 and 0.9.0
Important notes
- The HTTP Interface is now only available on the local machine by default.
- If you want to make it available from other machines, you will have to edit the ".hosts" file.
- XXX: DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS HERE :XXX
- This version of VLC contains a new interface for Windows and Linux. This interface lacks a few features that used to be present in vlc 0.8.6:
- "Streaming wizard" and "VLM control". These features will be replaced by a better alternative in the next version. If you absolutely need these features, we advise you to keep vlc 0.8.6
- Similarly, "Bookmarks" will be reintroduced in an improved version at a later point
- The default for --sout-keep has changed. It's now activated by default.
- The marq, mosaic and logo commands in the rc interface changed. They now require a target name as their first argument. Example:
vlc --sub-filter "marq@test{marquee=Hello}" -I rc <somevideo>- You can then use commands like:
@test marq-marquee Goodbye
- These new commands are also available in the telnet interface.
- The default Interface is now Qt Interface on linux and windows.
