VLC 3.0.14 "Vetinari" | Update Notification

Postby eBroncos » 23 Nov 2021 07:43

Recently, every time I launch the VLC media player, an additional window shows telling the following:

VideoLAN and the VLC development team present VLC 3.0.14 "Vetinari".
Please READ!
The upgrade you are doing will not launch the installer, because of a bug from our team. We are extremely sorry about that.
You will need to manually launch from your temp folder after the download.
This upgrades fixes security issues in the updater and in the application. Please update.


Shall I download it?
Is it a real notification from VLN or an attempt of malicious software trying to enter my system?
I am asking as I have never seen it before when there was an update.

I am currently running 3.0.12 Vetinari version on a Window 7 Pro 64-bit system
