Friday, 29 January 2010 17:18

More good news keeps on coming in...

Miqlas writes that we may no longer be stuck with the outdated BeOS version of VLC (0.8.6d), as 1.0.4 is now running under Haiku!

'VLC 1.0.4 under Haiku: Haiku r35331 GCC2hybrid, VLC compiled with GCC4. We have SDL output, and Qt GUI.'

Some screenshoots:

It's a step in the right direction, but the old BeOS port 0.84 had BeOS native GUI, and used hardware video overlay if available (instead of bitmap device, like the SDL port is using). It looks uglier, and is slower. Hopefully miqlas will take what he has learned, and try to update the original BeOS port. In the long run, that will be better.

I need an alpha tester, the port is only an preview build for testing purposes, there is a big chance it will not work for You, sorry.

The requiments:
* intelligence
* Haiku GCC2Hybrid
* Latest Qt (r110)
