Windows version check

Postby bll » 28 Sep 2013 19:59

On windows, vlc --version pops up a window and writes the version text to vlc-help.txt.

Does anyone know how to get the VLC version number for windows without getting the pop-up window?

I ended up parsing the NEWS.txt file. Its format is fairly regular.
