For instance, this plays a DVD from the 2nd chapter of the 1st title up to the 4th chapter of the 3rd title: vlc dvd://#1:23:4 * The 40+ *caching options were simplified and dumbed down to 4 options: filecaching specifies caching for local files, networkcaching specifies caching for network resources, livecaching specifies caching for capture devices and disccaching specifies caching for local optical media. All values are expressed in milliseconds as in previous versions. * HTTP server IP address, port, and TLS configuration is now centralized: The httphost option sets the address, e.g. "httphost=[2001:db8::1]". By default, both :: and 0.0.0.0 are used. The httpport and httpsport options set the port numbers. By default, 8080 is used for HTTP, and 8443 for HTTPS. The TLS credentials are configured with httpcert (public certificate), httpkey (private key), httpca (optional CA) and httpcrl (optional CRL). * RTSP server IP address and port are updated similarly. Use rtsphost and rtspport respectively. * The mifaceaddr option does not exist anymore. To select the multicast output interface, use miface instead, e.g. miface=eth0. * The Windows version will only work with Windows XP SP2 or later. Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP < SP2, Windows 2003 SP0 are now unsupported. * The Mac OS version will require Quartz Extreme compatible machines. Important changes for packagers: * The default builds now assume that the operating system uses UTF8 for its file systems and files content (except the Windows port). If this is not acceptable, pass enablenonutf8 to the configure script. NonUTF8 file systems support will be removed in future versions. * The VLC plugins path can be overridden with
