I tried the PC version and love the improvments over 0.9.9, but does anyone know when they will release the linux version?

All formats?  Am I the only one who can't get it to play blu?  I've tried the discs, and I've tried .iso files of the some discs, and nothing happens.  I assume there's a way, since it's compatble with the HD audio formats.  Anyone have a workaround?  I checked the hep, but the wiki and forums are down.

VLC is garbage as a primary media player. Only thing I use it for is to view files I'm currently downloading. Hell, WMP isn't even that bad when paired with CCCP.

ive been using haihaisoft for awhile, alongside VLC. VLC opens kinda slow right now, so i use haihaisoft, instead. mucgh faster, plays pretty much anything, not sure about bluray, though, cause i dont have a blu-ray drive

a Blu-Ray drive to play BD movies, just download movies that have the format .MKV!

If you are referring to "Code Trainwreck" then yes it is! It is FABULOUS with Schneizeleffort.

It's not perfect, I've run across stuff that wouldn't play in VLC that played fine in MPC.

Even WMP needs a codac pac to run those.

WMP?  Windows Media Player?  It can't play anything... unless you mod your Windows install with codecs...

Media Player Classic? GOM? mis-typed WPM?

Yes, the beta/rc of VLC were in constant flux and often had regressions - but so far the current 1 version is running well and has many of the features I use MPC for.

Eh... just install K-lite codec pack and you have all the codecs you need, but I still like VLC :)

For Windows:

For Linux:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xine

 

If you're still having problems with playback (on Windows), I recommend this guide:

My auxiliary PC is fairly old and couldn't playback files without skipping and losing audio + subtitle sync (with Windows XP & CCCP's package).  I use Linux Mint (www.linuxmint.com) on it now with gXine. The underpowered PC can finally playback h.264 video correctly.  Two thumbs up!

Screw CCCP, VCP (Vista Codec Pack x32 & x64) is where it's at!

not reading the article, or replies, and not checking for yourself leads to wild gyrations with the keyboard.

apparently VLC performs - WMP can't play anything on its own, don't bring it up for comparison - no need to denounce VLC.

 monkey's cousins also make ridiculous claims

 actually i was comparing VLC and WMPwithout any mods, and clearly said both need extra codecs to play everything. but WMP isnt comalining they can "play everything" like VLC is...
