Hi,

Just a simple thing i can't find, how to check if the file i have is VLC 2.6 or 2.5 or 2.4 ... ?

I have try this:

Code: Select all

[[VLCLibrary sharedLibrary] version]
But i display weird vetinary 3.0 version for multiple version.

Edit:

Code: Select all

[[VLCLibrary sharedLibrary] changeset]
Return 2.2.0-git-3742-g1d6ad26 ???

Does it mean i use VLC 2.2 ? I have git clone to a fresh folder, i should have the latest 2.6 no ?

I agree that VLC's naming scheme is confusing. VLC for iOS 2.6 deploy VLCKit and libvlc 2.2 matching the desktop release 2.2.x series.

VLCKit 3.0 is based on libvlc 3.0 and will be used in VLC for iOS 2.7 and onwards. The change-set you are referring to is from the git and since the last tag on 3.0 unstable repo is "2.2.0-git", it is part of the change-set string. This will change as soon as we create the first 3.0 tag.
