---------------------------------
2008-08-25 23:06:37 +02:00
2006-12-03 17:31:08 +01:00
Important notes:
----------------
2008-09-14 20:15:48 +02:00
* This release will need Windows 2000 and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), or more
recent to work correctly
2006-12-03 17:31:08 +01:00
* 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.
2007-08-20 23:14:04 +02:00
- On UNIX/Linux, the file is in /usr/share/vlc/http/.hosts
If you're using the old http interface, it's located in
/usr/share/vlc/http/old/.hosts
- On Windows they are in C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\http\.hosts and
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\http\old\.hosts
2007-08-20 23:17:46 +02:00
- On Mac OS X, you can find it in VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/http/.hosts
and respectively in VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/http/old/.hosts
2008-06-25 21:48:09 +02:00
* This version of VLC contains a new interface for Windows and Linux.
2008-08-25 22:04:34 +02:00
This interface has a fullscreen controller and simplified preferences.
This interface lacks the "Streaming Wizard" that used to be present in VLC
2008-09-14 04:11:08 +02:00
0.8.6, but provides basic profiles.
2008-04-18 13:22:26 +02:00
* The behavior of --sout-keep was 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
2008-08-24 16:26:23 +02:00
If you didn't name the object using @test, its name will default to the
plugin name (hence 'marq') in this example.
2008-04-18 13:22:26 +02:00
These new commands are also available in the telnet interface.
2008-05-10 00:33:49 +02:00
* The "rtp" access output module has been removed.
2007-09-28 18:14:07 +02:00
Please use the RTP stream output instead, e.g.:
2008-03-04 19:10:18 +01:00
Old: '#std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2:5004,sap}'
New: '#rtp{mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2,port=5004,sap}'
2007-11-24 19:53:11 +01:00
* You now need to append --m3u-extvlcopt to your command line to enable
2007-12-27 13:44:02 +01:00
EXTVLCOPT options parsing in m3u playlists. Note that only a limited set
2008-01-19 21:38:59 +01:00
of options is available to m3u playlists (CVE-2007-6683).
2008-08-09 16:50:27 +02:00
* The old access:url syntax is no longer supported to resolve ambiguities
with some file names. Use access://url instead.
2008-09-14 04:11:08 +02:00
E.g.: vlc:quit -> vlc://quit ;
2008-06-25 21:48:09 +02:00
udp:@239.255.12.12 -> udp://@239.255.12.12
2008-08-09 16:50:27 +02:00
* The ffmpeg module has been removed and replaced by the new avcodec,
avformat, swscale (or imgresample if you use a swscale-less ffmpeg build)
and postproc modules.
2008-06-26 01:53:46 +02:00
* The web plugins ActiveX (IE)/Firefox/Mozilla/Safari now recognize the
following states: IDLE/CLOSE=0, OPENING=1, BUFFERING=2, PLAYING=3, PAUSED=4,
STOPPING=5, FORWARD=6, BACKWARD=7, ENDED=8, ERROR=9. With FORWARD and
BACKWARD being reserved for future implementations and are thus not
functional atm.
2008-06-22 14:44:27 +02:00
* Croping and padding in transcode are now done using the croppadd video
filter. For example:
transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=croppadd{cropttop=20,cropbottom=30,paddleft=100}}
* Canvas setting in transcode is now done using the canvas video filter.
For example:
transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=canvas{width=640,height=480}}
2008-06-20 22:56:04 +02:00
* Glide video output module has been removed.

* ALL: Better announce system
- The SAP handler now runs in a separate thread.
- RTP sessions can be announced with sap (sdp=sap://,name=...)
TODO: Make this more configurable
- Better SDP generation (the timestamp problem is not resolved)
About this, there is a problem : as, for a RTP session, the URI
is the complete SDP, if the session is recreated, as the URI has
changed, a new item is added to the playlist
- Experimental flow control algorithm :
It does not follow the "Recommended" implementation, as it needs
to count the sessions (to achieve this, we should make this work
together with the SAP listener)
It is disabled by default (use --sap-flow-control to enable).
When it is disabled, sap announcement interval is set by --sap-interval
