vlc (1.1.0-1) unstable; urgency=low Teletext decoding is now done through zvbi. It requires installing an extra packages: vlc-plugin-zvbi. Some control interface are now implemented in lua. The C equivalents are still present. + HTTP: Default is still the C-implemented one. Use -I luahttp to test the lua one. Remember to edit /etc/vlc/lua/http/.hosts + RC: Default is the new lua-implemented one. Use -I oldrc to use the C one. + Telnet: Default is the new lua-implemented one. Use -I oldtelnet to use the C one.

Use --input-slave alsa:// or oss:// if needed. + Image video output has been rewritten into a video-filter named 'scene'. For other changes, see /usr/share/doc/vlc-nox/NEWS.gz -- Christophe Mutricy Wed, 13 May 2009 14:36:54 +0200 vlc (0.9.8a-2) unstable; urgency=low HTTP interface: The .hosts file used to control which remote hosts have access to the http interface has been moved to /etc/vlc/http/hosts and is now a conffile. If you do more change to the http interface, you need to do that out of /usr/share/vlc/http and use --http-src option of vlc. If you don't, your modifications will get lost at the next upgrade of vlc. Running VLC as root: Since 0.9.0, VLC can't be run as root. If you need realtime priority or if you need to have VLC listening on a privileged port (<1024), then you need to use vlc-wrapper. -- Christophe Mutricy Mon, 23 Feb 2009 22:41:46 +0000 vlc (0.9.2-1) experimental; urgency=low Important changes in this new upstream version: * 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" in /usr/share/vlc/http/ . If you're using the old http interface, it's located in /usr/share/vlc/http/old/.hosts * 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 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 * Cropping 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}} For more details, see the upstream NEWS file at http://git.videolan.org/gitweb.cgi?p=vlc.git;a=blob_plain;f=NEWS;h=89fc19a6 -- Christophe Mutricy Wed, 03 Sep 2008 00:54:46 +0200
