Hi

Main repo now has update for vlc.tcz and new package vlc2.tcz. In case you have done an update thru Apps without reading the new info file here it is

--- Quote --- If you need pulseaudio, dvd playback, youtube or streaming support, see vlc2.tcz next command
--- End quote ---

--- Code: ---$ cvlc -vv (can display disabled support items)
--- End code ---

You may also see updates for (depending on which vlc you want)
taglib, libdvdread, libdvdnav, libbluray, libcdio, libcddb + vcdimager

In other words, if you want dvd playback, youtube, pulseaudio support then its vlc2 you need.

There is no reason why you can't download both but just run one per boot.

good luck

sizes total vlc 45.84M versus vlc2 51.48

the reason for the split is ....altho I have 8G RAM and dvd....I thought some people may have older spec PC with cd-drive and not want network support etc.

Thanks for the build gordon64.

For those with limited hardware, youtube streaming may give sound but a blank playback screen. Try going into VLC > tools > preferences > show settings, select all > input/codecs, preferred video resolution, low definition 360 lines. Restart VLC. Hope this works. VLC youtube streaming gives much better quality and framerate than Flash player is able to provide.

gordon64:
Regarding vlc2 ----youtube streaming

thanks for the excellent tip.....something I had not thought of testing.

gordon64:
OK it looks like I forgot to add a comment similar to Juanito's post on updating openssl for updating vlc.

There are changes to the dep file for vlc so he suggests

--- Quote ---the easiest way to do this is by using the apps gui update deps function.
--- End quote ---

thanks for testing

Hi gordon64,
thanks for updated versions of VLC player!

A thought about the file names - even though changing it now may not be the best idea - I wanted to say that appending a "2" to the extension's file name doesn't sound like the best way to me. It could be confused with "old vs. new". I'd suggest, if I may, something that indicates a slim or stripped down version (vlc-slim.tcz?) rather than an indicator for the full(er) version. Also, it happens that people don't see the "info" in Apps. 2¢.

Cheers!

(Will try DVB through VLC when I get my USB stick back)
