VLC Version1.0.5 vs Version0.8.6i

[5kinman]

I am using the ActiveX plugin of VLC to play some IP streams.

Those target streams work fine with vlc0.8.6i, but the screen will be paused automatically when using vlc1.0.5.

However, the ActiveX plugin of vlc0.8.6i do not support the following methods, which vlc1.0.5 handles normally -
video.crop ; video.subtitle ; audio.track

I DO NOT want to re-compile the VLC myself as I am not familiar with Linux, is there any alternative solution to play the 0.8.6i accessible streams and handles the methods mentions above?

BTW, I would like to disable the fullscreen function of VLC when double-click on the video display area (also at activeX environment), will there be any easier solution other then re-compiling the VLC?
