This page is a drafted intended to explain what are the cool features of 0.9.0. Think about it in a "Cool features from kernelnewbies"-like page.


Short summary

The 0.9.0 version of VLC media player 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.
