1179 If you want to make it available from other machines, you will have to
1180 edit the ".hosts" file.
1181 - On UNIX/Linux, the file is in /usr/share/vlc/http/.hosts
1182 If you're using the old http interface, it's located in

1193 * The marq, mosaic and logo commands in the rc interface changed. They
1194 now require a target name as their first argument. Example:
1195 vlc --sub-filter "marq@test{marquee=Hello}" -I rc <somevideo>
1196 You can then use commands like: @test marq-marquee Goodbye
1197 If you didn't name the object using @test, its name will default to the
1198 plugin name (hence 'marq') in this example.
1199 These new commands are also available in the telnet interface.
1200 * The "rtp" access output module has been removed.
1201 Please use the RTP stream output instead, e.g.:
1202 Old: '#std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2:5004,sap}'
1203 New: '#rtp{mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2,port=5004,sap}'

1207 * The old access:url syntax is no longer supported to resolve ambiguities
1208 with some file names. Use access://url instead.
1209 E.g.: vlc:quit -> vlc://quit ;
1210 udp:@239.255.12.12 -> udp://@239.255.12.12
1211 * The ffmpeg module has been removed and replaced by the new avcodec,

1215 following states: IDLE/CLOSE=0, OPENING=1, BUFFERING=2, PLAYING=3, PAUSED=4,
1216 STOPPING=5, FORWARD=6, BACKWARD=7, ENDED=8, ERROR=9. With FORWARD and
1217 BACKWARD being reserved for future implementations and are thus not
1219 * Croping and padding in transcode are now done using the croppadd video
1220 filter. For example:
1221 transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=croppadd{cropttop=20,cropbottom=30,paddleft=100}}
1222 * Canvas setting in transcode is now done using the canvas video filter.
