VLC media player 1.1.0

(2010.06.22)

Changes in 1.1.0

Important changes for users:
* On Linux, known bugs in the ALSA library might prevent audio output. Update to alsa-lib v1.0.23-2-g8d80d5f or later, or use the libpulse audio output plugin instead of the ALSA one (if you have PulseAudio).

Important changes for packagers:
* The module cache has moved to ${libdir}/vlc/. The module cache can now be generated at install time except if you use staged installation. In the later case, you can generate the module cache in your post-inst script by invoking 'vlc-cache-gen'. If the module cache is not present and vlc can't write in ${libdir}/vlc/, it will result it vlc taking a long time to launch each time.

* Most X11-related plugins now use XCB instead of Xlib. VLC now uses - xproto, - xcb, xcb-shm, xcb-xv, xcb-randr (from libxcb), - xcb-keysyms (from xcb-utils), - x11-xcb (from libx11) - only for GLX support.

* On X11 platforms, a _working_ version of xdg-screensaver is typically required to inhibit the screensaver during video playback.

Access:
* Support for the sftp protocol
* Support for CDDB servers for Audio-CD on the Windows port
* New memory input (imem) access and access_demux module to feed VLC from data in memory
* New avio module to use libavformat capabilities for network streams, like rtmp://
* Port of the screen module from Xlib to XCB
* Port of the dc1394 module from libdc1394 to libdc1394 v2.0
