The downloaded VLC media player from vlc-0.8.6i-powerpc.dmg http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/video ... owerpc.dmg contains VLC media player v0.8.6h PPC instead of VLC media player v0.8.6i PPC

Whom do I contact to report this?

Hi,
This issue seems to be addressed on the mailing list (see below).

regards.
By the way, the answer to your question is the mailing lists (@vlc-devel or @videolan) :-)

Re: Power PC version of VLC media player 0.8.6i: The splash screen,
and get info windows say that the release is still 0.8.6h. Just
cosmetic I'm sure, but wanted to let you know.

Thanks for your feedback. This is a known issue. Corrected builds are
currently being pushed across our mirrors and will be available later
today.

Best,

Felix

There are posting around the internet, including at VersionTracker http://www.versiontracker.com/, stating that the wrong version is in the vlc-0.8.6i-powerpc.dmg download.

Therefore, having softwares that give an incorrect version number, clearly can have more than a

cosmetic effect

, on even the downloading and use of the software...

In fact, I've joined http://forum.videolan.org to inquire about this, and the information here is not known at all the other locations, that I read the postings stating that the wrong version is in the vlc-0.8.6i-powerpc.dmg download.

La version contenue dans le fichier DMG est maintenant correcte au téléchargement, mais fonctionnellement elle n'est toujours pas en phase avec la version Intel : il y a toujours le bug avec le multiposte de Free introduit dans la version 0.8.6h et qui est corrigé dans la version 0.8.6i pour Intel mais pas dans la version pour PowerPC !

(cf. ici : viewtopic.php?f=12&t=47276&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a)

On peut du coup se demander si les corrections indiquées dans le Changelog de la version 0.8.6i sont bien présentes dans la version PowerPC.

... ce qui pourrait confirmer que le problème de blocage daprès 10 secondes de streaming présent
dans 0.8.6h existe toujours dans 0.8.6.i !
voir mes posts:
VLC 0.8.6h: No more TV after 10 seconds streaming.
