Thanks, not showing up as an update within the app itself (version 1.1.12).

Yeah I noticed that. I wonder if the 1.1.12 version will just be checking for updates within 1.0. And then 2.0 will check for future updates within 2.0.

Wow, this new UI is a bit different to what I was expecting!


One bad thing though, the VLC full screen is the Lion "full screen". Meaning I can't set VLC to full screen on the external monitor without losing the desktop on the laptop screen. Very very annoying, but I believe this is to be changed/fixed in Mountain Lion.

Yeah I agree - I wish they didn't do the full screen as they've done it. When you're watching something and go to fullscreen, the video pauses (but continues playing as you can hear the audio) and then once it's fullscreen it continues playing.

And like you say, if you're using a second monitor to play video you can't use the original screen while playing video. Little annoying...

EDIT:

Edit: Phew, there's an option within VLC to return to previous behaviour!

Ooops I must have missed it Phew that's good
