Is this bug still valid? The man page suggests vlc --longhelp --advanced for a list of switches, and you can't ask too much more than that from a man page, if the main documentation is in a different format. That list of switches includes UCP and HTTP output. Having only used VLC as a player, I can't comment on how useful the resources available without a network connection are for doing anything other than playing local files.
Maybe the man page should say which docs are obsolete, and which docs users should be looking at. I know that man pages are always the first form of online doc I turn to, so it seems like a good place to point users to other resources in videolan-doc, or whatever. -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , des.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
