Support for transcoding and streaming as well as DVD playback was not affected by this move and stays under GPL until further notice. Please note that the Objective-C syntax was updated, so VLCKit may no longer compile with outdated versions of Xcode / clang. New APIs: - VLCStreamOutput: - support for subtitle transcoding - VLCMedia: - extended media track information for bitrate, language, description, source aspect ratio, source aspect denominator, frame rate, frame rate denominator, and text encoding - added setter and getter for individual meta data values as well as the ability to write changes to the media file - added (BOOL)isMediaSizeSuitableForDevice to let VLCKit determine whether the current media is considered to be suitable for the current device or playback is discouraged. Will always return true on OS X devices. - added individual getters for all statistic values, so client application can fetch single values instead of having to process a NSDictionary with all the available values. The old API is still available and will stay. - VLCMediaPlayer: - added support to enable, switch and disable video tracks - added setter/getter for SPU and audio delays - added setter/getter for the video scale factor - added support for the "adjust" video filter to manipulate contrast, brightness, hue, saturation and gamma on the fly - new interfaces to fetch names and IDs of audio, subtitle and video tracks - added the ability to launch instances with custom libvlc options - VLCLibrary: - added the ability to launch instances with custom libvlc options - added methods to set App ID and User-Agent - added readonly property to fetch compiler information Deprecated APIs: - VLCMediaPlayer: @property (readonly) NSUInteger fps; - use (float)fps instead. - (NSArray *)videoSubTitles; - use - (NSArray *)videoSubtitleNames; instead - (NSArray *)audioTracks; - use - (NSArray *)audioTrackNames; instead - (NSArray *)videoTracks; - use - (NSArray *)videoTrackNames; instead Modified behavior: - use of clang instead of llvm-gcc-4.2 - updated project file for Xcode 4.3 and later - iOS Deployment target was raised to iOS 5.1 - dropped support for the PowerPC architecture - Mac Deployment target was raised to OS X 10.7 - different logging behavior: to see any debug messages, the framework needs to be compiled in debug mode MobileVLCKit features: - added support for Opus - slimmed binary by removing dysfunctional or irrelevant modules - screen sleep is prevented during playback - functionality is strictly limited for full LGPL compliance Removed APIs: - VLCMedia: - (void)setValue:(id)value forMeta:(NSString *)VLCMetaInformation; use setMetadata:(NSString *)data forKey:(NSString *)key instead
