The article writer checked it using an outdated version of VLC (3.0.7 instead of 3.0.7.1), which should have at the very least warranted a closer look into whether the official latest release has the same issue, or if it was a problem with the version packaged by his distro of choice. The "update" The Register did, which really should be a "correction", is half-assed and well hidden below the fold at the end of the article.
