VLC 1.1.1 Multimedia Player Released

Post by Apoptosis »

VLC with GPU acceleration for AMD GPUs (with CATALYST 10.7 drivers that come out next Monday) has been released for download!

Grab it here - http://www.videolan.org/

What's new?
Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.1:
--------------------------------

libVLC:
* New capabilities for libVLC:
* Adjust video filter control: libvlc_adjust_Enable,
libvlc_adjust_Contrast, libvlc_adjust_Brightness, libvlc_adjust_Hue,
libvlc_adjust_Saturation, libvlc_adjust_Gamma
* libvlc_media_player_set_pause() can force the pause state, whereas
libvlc_media_player_pause() would only toggle it.
* libvlc_set_user_agent() configures the "user agent" strings used for some
protocols (HTTP, PulseAudio...). This replaces the --http-user-agent and
the former --user-agent libvlc_new() parameters.
* libvlc_video_set_callbacks() and libvlc_video_set_format() allow grabbing
video frames from a chosen memory location in real-time. This replace the
ugly --vmem-* libvlc_new() parameters in previous versions.
See http://wiki.videolan.org/LibVLC_SampleCode_SDL as an example.
* libvlc_audio_get_delay() and libvlc_audio_set_delay() configure the delay
between audio and video/subpictures for the current input.

called early
