Important notes:----------------* This release will need Windows 2000 and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), or morerecent 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/.hostsIf 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 andC:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\http\old\.hosts

- On Mac OS X, you can find it in VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/http/.hostsand respectively in VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/http/old/.hosts

Example:vlc --sub-filter "marq@test{marquee=Hello}" -I rc You can then use commands like: @test marq-marquee GoodbyeIf you didn't name the object using @test, its name will default to theplugin 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}'

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 thefollowing 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


9/38

BACKWARD being reserved for future implementations and are thus notfunctional atm.
