I've posted a test release of VLC 0.9.4 for testing. This is a pretty major VLC update, so we'll be giving this a test before release. The major new bit from a portability standpoint is the media library. Unfortunately, there is no switch to redirect it to the portable drive, so it must be copied to and from the PC at the moment, which may be a privacy issue for some folks (if someone were to undelete files quickly enough... before something overwrites it... they could see what your music collection consisted of, though it's a bit unlikely).

I would like to ask, whether it is possible to test, learn your opinion on my program. I only recently released the version for USB Flash Drive, and I wish to learn your suggestions.
Do not consider it for advertising, but this site specialises on portable programs and I hope to you it will be interesting.
I will give to all active participants the free licence.
Thanks!
