It still scans the while "filesystem" on the server before you can browse which takes ages. And it still fails to convert content on the fly during download (I can only download as raw copy, and convert later. If I enable on-the-fly transcoding (or even just changing the container) it aborts early.<br> </div> http://lwn.net/Articles/568833/rss 2013-09-29T18:09:03+00:00 nix <div class="FormattedComment"> The preferred gamepiece of Lady Luck seems like a superb mascot for any software release. God knows you always need Her to keep the bugs at bay :)<br> </div> http://lwn.net/Articles/568493/rss 2013-09-26T19:05:25+00:00 Seegras <div class="FormattedComment"> <font class="QuotedText">&gt; - Extended metadata tags and cover art support in Ogg, AVI, MP4 and MKV.</font><br> <p> About time. I just wonder when the media centre applications will be able to even read it... <br> <p> </div> http://lwn.net/Articles/568489/rss 2013-09-26T18:24:43+00:00 Kit <div class="FormattedComment"> Possibly it's a reference to support for the H.265 and VP9 codecs (the successors to H.264 and VP8, respectively), which are targeted towards "Ultra-HD" content. Looking through the change log, though, I couldn't find any references to anything that might be the "preparations".<br> <p> Would be interesting to hear specifically what it is.<br> </div> http://lwn.net/Articles/568438/rss 2013-09-26T14:39:12+00:00 njwhite <div class="FormattedComment"> I wonder what this "preparation for Ultra-HD video" is? Mplayer plays the couple of 4K videos I've found just fine on my Chromebook Pixel (well, somewhat slowly, but I presume that's inevitable with the quantity of pixels). I don't see why VLC would be any different. Maybe they're starting to optimise for such content.<br> </div> http://lwn.net/Articles/568431/rss 2013-09-26T14:03:51+00:00 rvfh <div class="FormattedComment"> Apparently no UPnP update. Will try and check tonight, but waiting minutes to browse my DLNA server makes VLC much less useless to play remote videos...<br> </div> http://lwn.net/Articles/568427/rss 2013-09-26T13:52:59+00:00 NAR <div class="FormattedComment"> On the other hand he did save the (Disc)world a couple of times...<br> </div> http://lwn.net/Articles/568400/rss 2013-09-26T11:05:36+00:00 NRArnot <div class="FormattedComment"> Rincewind (the completely hopeless magician).
