I can't play .img files.
If i start an .img image file with vlc it won't work.
It tries to start it but it's 40 hours long (40:30:31) instead of real 1:24:19.
If i change the file name from test.img to test.img.iso it plays as it should.
I shouldn't need to rename an iso.

This seems to only be an linux regression since if i try to open test.img running windows7 it plays as it should.

VLC media player 1.1.10 The Luggage
Pastebin of vlc -v test.img

What is the vlc version on you windows 7 ?
when you show the logs, please use -vv

I think IMG file detection was broken in VLC 1.1.10. Update to 1.1.11.

I used the same version on windows7 vlc 1.1.10 so i could see that it works in the same version.

I couldn't post -vv since it got to big to fast 10sec = 1.3mb log

vlc 1.1.11 solved it for me so now .img files works in Linux.

Could you also add img to vlc_interface.h like when i add this patch http://pastebin.com/P2EFeyw4
So i also see .img in the GUI file dialog when i try to open an file.

Thanks a lot for your hard work with vlc.
