Changes between 1.1.13 and 2.0.0:
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Important notes:
|
|
* The licenses of libVLC and libVLCcore have changed from GPLv2+ to LGPLv2.1+
|
|
* Start/end titles/chapters are now specified with # rather than @ to fix
|
|
conflicts with some URLs and file names. For instance, this plays a DVD
|
|
from the 2nd chapter of the 1st title up to the 4th chapter of the 3rd
|
|
title: vlc dvd://#1:2-3:4
|
|
* The 40+ --*-caching options were simplified and dumbed down to 4 options:
|
|
- --file-caching specifies caching for local files,
|
|
- --network-caching specifies caching for network resources,
|
|
- --live-caching specifies caching for capture devices and
|
|
- --disc-caching specifies caching for local optical media.
|
|
All values are expressed in milliseconds as in previous versions.
|
|
* HTTP server IP address, port, and TLS configuration is now centralized:
|
|
- The --http-host option sets the address, e.g. "--http-host=[2001:db8::1]".
|
|
By default, both :: and 0.0.0.0 are used.
|
|
- The --http-port and --https-port options set the port numbers.
|
|
By default, 8080 is used for HTTP, and 8443 for HTTPS.
|
|
- The TLS credentials are configured with --http-cert (public certificate),
|
|
--http-key (private key), --http-ca (optional CA) and
|
|
--http-crl (optional CRL).
|
|
* RTSP server IP address and port are updated similarly.
|
|
Use --rtsp-host and --rtsp-port respectively.
|
|
* The --miface-addr option does not exist anymore. To select the multicast
|
|
output interface, use --miface instead, e.g. --miface=eth0.
|
|
* The Windows version will only work with Windows XP SP2 or later.
|
|
Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP < SP2, Windows 2003 SP0 are now unsupported.
|
|
* The Mac OS version will require Quartz Extreme compatible machines.
|
|
|
|
Important changes for packagers:
|
|
* The default builds now assume that the operating system uses UTF-8 for
|
|
its file systems and files content (except the Windows port). If this is
|
|
not acceptable, pass --enable-non-utf8 to the configure script.
|
|
Non-UTF-8 file systems support will be removed in future versions.
|
|
* The VLC plugins path can be overridden with the VLC_PLUGIN_PATH environment
|
|
variable. The --plugin-path command line option was removed.
|
|
* The default tarballs are now compressed with XZ/LZMA: .tar.xz
|
|
* OSS support is not compiled on Linux by default, pass --enable-oss to the
|
|
configure script if you use OSSv4 or really want to use OSS emulation.
|
|
* The webplugins have moved to: git://git.videolan.org/npapi-vlc.git
|
|
|
|
Core:
|

|
|
* Almost every video filter can now be transcoded
|
|

|
|
* The module cache has moved to ${libdir}/vlc/. The module cache can now be

later case, you can generate the module cache in your post-inst script
|
|

|
can't write in ${libdir}/vlc/, it will result it vlc taking a long time to

|
launch each time.

Changes between 0.8.6i and 0.9.0:
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Important notes:
|
|
----------------
|
|
* This release will need Windows 2000 and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), or more
|
|
recent to work correctly
|
|
* 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.
|
|
- 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
|
|
- 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
|
|
* This version of VLC contains a new interface for Windows and Linux.
|
|
This interface has a fullscreen controller and simplified preferences.
|
|
This interface lacks the "Streaming Wizard" that used to be present in VLC
|
|
0.8.6, but provides basic profiles.
|
|
* 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
|
|
If you didn't name the object using @test, its name will default to the
|
|
plugin name (hence 'marq') in this example.
|
|
These new commands are also available in the telnet interface.
|
|
* The "rtp" access output module has been removed.
|
|
Please use the RTP stream output instead, e.g.:
|
|
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}'
|
|
* You now need to append --m3u-extvlcopt to your command line to enable
|
|
EXTVLCOPT options parsing in m3u playlists. Note that only a limited set
|
|
of options is available to m3u playlists (CVE-2007-6683).
|
|
* The old access:url syntax is no longer supported to resolve ambiguities
|
|
with some file names. Use access://url instead.
|
|
E.g.: vlc:quit -> vlc://quit ;
|
|
udp:@239.255.12.12 -> udp://@239.255.12.12
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* 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}}
|
|
* Glide video output module has been removed.
|
|
