Overview
VLC Media Player (VLC) is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework, that plays most multimedia files formats as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols without external codec or program. It is simple to use, yet very powerful and extendable, and can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network. This release include fixes for FTP relative paths and directories and fixes for Podcast and DVD modules.
