I installaed VLC 1.0 but movieplayer doesn't run. I see movie list on my PC but when I select a movie it can't be loaded. The buffering level remain at o%.
I must roll back VLC or I need some oyhrt setting ?

Thank you

For VLC 1.0 you need a config file to let movieplayer working. I think using 0.8.6 is much easier (and more stable, I've heard).

I upgraded to VLC 1.0 because I have sync problem with Vista and VLC 0.86.
I thought to bypass these problems upgrading VLC.
Maybe the problem is Vista?

[*] The HTTP Interface is now only available on the local machine by default.[/list] If you want to make it available from other machines, you will have to edit the ".hosts" file.[list]
[*] On UNIX/Linux, the file is in /usr/share/vlc/http/.hosts[/list] If you're using the old http interface, it's located in /usr/share/vlc/http/old/.hosts[list]
[*] On Windows they are in C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\http\.hosts and C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\http\old\.hosts
[*] On Mac OS X, you can find it inVLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/http/.hosts and respectively inVLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/http/old/.hosts[/list]

So, for VLC 1.0 you need to add the IP of the Dreambox to the .hosts file.
