Just a heads up that a long-standing bug with UNC filenames has been fixed in official videolan 0.8.6 RC1 nightly build http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/branch-20061205-0330/vlc-0.8.6...
Playing files/playlists with accents/umlauts/japanese characters, etc. in the filename was previously impossible.
This is the forum thread http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=19711
Is there any way that this RC could replace the current VLC portable? Thanks
You can replace the existing VLC in VLC Portable with this if you want. I won't do a new release with 0.8.6 until it's final, though.
Oh OK, I thought you had 'massaged' the exe/dll files to make them better fit the portable environment. I will replace it until the official portable version is released. Thanks.
They're UPX compressed which cuts VLC's footprint in half and speeds launch time.
Release VLC 0.8.6 media player
2006-12-10
Building on feedback from the 29 million downloads of VLC media player 0.8.5, we bring you version 0.8.6 with many bugfixes, as well as a couple of new features we think you will truly enjoy. Most prominent are probably Windows Media Video 9 and Flash Video. Other important changes are improved H.264 decoding, better Windows Unicode support, a Fullscreen controller and Apple Remote support for Mac OS X.
