> So none of the tech news websites contacted VideoLAN and published their articles without checking their source. Actually, one did: numerama. That's all. > I feel bad for VideoLAN, according to them the bug was in a 3rd party lib and was fixed 16 months ago. My night and morning have been difficult, as you can imagine...

I'm sorry that you're having a bad couple of days thanks to shitty journalism. Thank you for your efforts in developing VLC, it is a great tool.

Thank you for your contributions on VLC. It shines bad light on the official institutions that they haven't checked back with you.

It will sound boring quickly, but I also want to thank you for developing VLC. Great work. Amazing work. You have many devoted fans all around the world.

Off topic, but... I've used VLC on all supported platforms for almost as long as it's been in existence: THANK YOU.

I wanted to thank you for your work on VLC as well. It has been my go to video player for many years.

We all love VLC and know the hard work you put into it, and into keeping it secure. Don't stress too much. The media buzz will die down soon.

I don't know if it matters at all, but after hearing the news, I still fired up VLC to watch a few videos because I feel you guys have built up enough credibility and credit that such an extraordinary claim would require extraordinary evidence (which I wasn't seeing) and if there was a problem, your team would fix it ASAP. Please keep up the awesome work, VLC is a treasure.

Thank you for VLC. It has literally been the only software that I've ever donated towards.
