any news on when hardware acceleration will be fully supported by VLC (like wen its going to come out of the experimental stage)?

[Cimmerian]

Thanks for the news. Did any of you get this via auto-update? Mine still shows v1.1.5 as the latest build...

Mine said the same thing on more than one computer. It's been about nine months since I last used VLC (I reinstalled 1.1.5 recently & before that had used it for a couple of years) but as far I can remember the auto-update has never worked. :(

If you download the 1.1.6 installer & run it, the wizard will give you the option to uninstall the previous version, & will then install the new one.

It doesn't take long. :thumb:

VLC has had hardware acceleration for quite a while.

In my experience the recent auto-updates always take a day or two extra to kick in after the initial release.

last i tried a few months ago it was only an option and it said it was experimental beside it (plus i was having video issues with it) thats why i asked if it was fully working now?

Funny how what works for some doesn't for others...I have always been prompted that a new build is available via auto-update..???
I ended up doing it manually this time, on this box...we'll see what happens next release...::)

Thanks...I never really paid attention to this before. Updated 1 box manually, will hold off on the other just to see how long the auto lag is..

It may have done the same for me in the past & I just can't recall it. I've recently recovered from a bad case of flu & my brain is still a bit muddled LOL! :wacko:

It's on by default now (and has been for some months).

ah yes, thats the one i remember.

can anyone explain the diff between the 2 options?

Auto-update just went through, so looks to be a roughly 24 hour window before it's pushed..
