VLC v1.1.x for Mac OS X?

Postby ant » 25 Jul 2010 06:20

Hi!

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html only shows v1.0.5 (Intel) and older to me. Am I blind or do I not see v1.1.x, especially v1.1.1? viewforum.php?f=12 shows people talking about it. Umm, help?

Thank you in advance. :)

Why not use the download link on the main page? http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Because it gives me http://sourceforge.net/projects/vlc/fil ... e/download on home page. Yes, I am downloading it from a Windows XP Pro. SP3 machine for someone who has limited Internet access.

I'm with Ant. I'm on a G5, with OSX 10.5.8, and when I use this link, I also receive only the 1.0.5 version, not the 1.1.1 version. The main VLC download page also shows the big fat downlaod button, with the link for a 1.0.5 versioin.

I checked all over the page, clicked on the OSX link for other binaries and still only the 1.0.5 version is available, nothing about 1.1.1. I even tried adjusting this link:

Code: Select all

http://www.videolan.org/mirror-geo.php?file=vlc/1.0.5/macosx/vlc-1.0.5-powerpc.dmg
to

Code: Select all

http://www.videolan.org/mirror-geo.php?file=vlc/1.1.1/macosx/vlc-1.1.1-powerpc.dmg
But only received a 404 error message.

Yes, 1.1.1 is not available on PPC, because of some major video bug.

Thanks, Jean-Baptiste.

It would be helpful for us of the PPC persuasion if something like "PPC version of 1.1.1 coming soon" was noted somewhere on the OSX page, if is its, indeed, coming soon.

There were several hours during my hectic day today that the world looked just like those screenshots...
