> Is there a need to seperate VideoLAN and VLC? Yes, the community are not joint. VideoLAN has numerous people not working on VLC. > Raspberry pi/odroid will ever be able to play 1080p AV1 Videos. rPi? no. Recent o-Droid, yes.

It is a bit more expensive, but not much, for the same quality (aka less bitrate). For same bitrate, it's 25%/30 more expensive. No actual measure, just feeling from what we've seen.

Each subprocess would only get one permission, the one that it actually need. The critical parts (audio decoders, video decoders, parsers) would not get access to $HOME or network, for example.

Because MSVC does not support those, and VLA became optional in C11. That's why we decided to not use them in dav1d.

VideoLAN has several projects, including VLC. But many people confuses both, so they are both listed.

x86/x64 is Nasm. ARM is gas.

Rav1e is an encoder. dav1d is a decoder. (Hence the last letter).

Yes, we have had some remarks. VideoLAN usually does copyleft (LGPL) projects, so it needed clarifications for our community.

safebrowsing is useless. We've reported scams of VLC shipping malware for years. They are still there.

VLC follows all Google recommendations, including for Oreo 8 compatibility. We rewrote our background service exactly for that.

Those 2 discussions are about the "release" that was more a beta, than a release. This current discussion is the actual release.

Why is it marked as dupe?

Previous discussion is not the same as this one. This is the actual release.

So, in case people wonder what is happening, wrt to the timeline of the AV1 codec, here is some info. This is final version of the bitstream and the specification of the codec. It will not change anymore (until AV1.1 or AV2). There are not

I agree with you. VLC on the Note 8 (and the S8) can do 8K decoding at 48fps, as is demoed here: https://vimeo.com/254723180 We've spent quite a bit of time to get that right, though, and those are rare devices (and do

I, for one, don't understand the push for Gnome here. I am a backer of librem, and I really don't get it. KDE Plasma Mobile is something that actually cares about mobile, is developed by an actual community and still needs a lot o

I, for one, am very impressed by the capability of this (mostly-remote, IIRC) team to ship so many releases, so fast. We have now one release per month! We host most VideoLAN projects on our own instance, and the updates are now very smooth

The functionality is not removed, some playlists are just lost.

Good point. Because Amazon requested it, because it was solving a major issue with playback of their new device at the time.

Sorry, but I don't see how that would work. Also, same problem as lack of time as the rest.

Nope, that's the point: 3.0.0 will migrate playlists from the old stable version, but not from this beta version, because of a bug in this specific version. And they don't want us to update it without this issue fixed.
