I wish they'd fix and release the nightly. It so cool looking but there are quite some bugs still. Like performance, playlists, options not working and somehow it can't play videos from my network, while release version can all of this...
Oh wow, they have a version that doesn't look like it was made for XP? Sucks that it's buggy.
I too am a bleeding-edge addict. I would prefer worse acting software so long as it is beta (or better, alpha (or better, nightly)).
So I wasnโt even aware VLC had solved these issues Iโm still delighted to live with.
Are there any screenshots of the nightly? I'm curious if it looks good enough to switch back.
VLC is so bad, IMO. There are so many things it does really badly or doesn't do at all that any other alternative (like MPC) does well. It doesn't help that it's ugly as sin, too.
What's with the hate on VLC? It's done more than what I've ever wanted. You can also use it to download YouTube videos and stuff. It's the bees knees, man!
