VLC media player 0.9.8a

QUOTED :

"The VideoLAN team has released a new security update for its increasingly-popular VLC media player. The 0.9.8a version targets a buffer overflow issue in Real demuxer that could have led to the execution of eVIL arbitrary code within the context of the player. "

Also fixes an issue for me where VLC would crash on playing FLV files.

Total POS, broken many things, mainly if you move it to 2nd Monitor then full screen it, it ends up on the 1st Monitor.

Also messed about with previous "Nightly Builds" trying to get last good build and ended up with many that were playing in an overlay not in main Console or no Full Screen Mode Floating Toolbar.

Could not find a legit build of 0.9.6 on web that I could trust so worked my way down the list before mentioned and got a good 0.9.7 build that worked after deleting my Prefs in " %appdata%/vlc ".


Forums are full of peeps reporting same error.

They never exactly said this was a Beta on the main site but you can see it is from the Player itself.
