I don't think Facebook can survive ten more years without deep changes. Facebook needs your data to survive but they don't bring much value to their users anymore, some people are leaving but many are just getting passive and don't post anymore. This is probably the end of an era and Facebook recent missteps are probably the nail in the coffin.

What a sad news. I was expecting more servers in EU in a near future and maybe an option to select the location of our primary DC (US or EU). I've been a happy customer since 2013 and for the first time since I joined I'll be considering other options.

Passthrough will work.

DCP support is there too :)

That's great ! Merci Ludovic

Thanks for your support!

This is on Windows.

From my own experience, a few months ago, on Linux mpv was still the better choice (more performant, better image quality, some more polished/reliable features like subtitles) as long as you don't mind the minimal UI (or use a front-end).

Or if you like that:)

Not shown: MPC/mpv image quality

mpv is not the same as mpc-hc

The comparison includes both.

I tested this with an mpv developer. This depends on a lot of factors, as you might be used to with mpv, but mpv was overall just as power efficient, if not better. This was done months ago with a nightly build of mpv and a nightly build of vlc, I'd be happy to do more extensive testing later if there is interest, but I decided on a particular power friendly configuration for mpv for laptop usage in the end.

Yes, all platforms!

I am having trouble on MacOS. I have version 10.11.6

When I select Playback > Renderer, it's connected to Chromecast alright, but when I press play, nothing happens.

Edit: Ok, it happens to some videos (they are h.264 videos), other videos seem to work fine, but for some reason, changing volume doesn't seem to have any effect on it. Is it by design?

We are exploring some ways but we have nothing to announce yet.

Give it another try, who knows.

It's been years that this option is available on Android. Look for the lock icon in the overlay.

Wow... how didn't I notice that. It really does work now. From UI's perspective it would be even better if one could still skip forward/back, change volume and brightness while still having screen rotation locked, but hey - we can't have it all :).

Thanks VLC team for all the dedication and good work. You're the best.

Actually, you can. There is an option for that.

We do? Such wow.

I think you can still do all that stuff by dragging your finger on the screen with rotation locked? Left/right sides are volume/brightness, bottom is seek.

EDIT: This only works if you change the preference to set playback orientation to "landscape", not if you lock orientation.

On Windows Phone, the option does not disable auto-rotation (thus, forcing portrait mode). Instead, it locks the screen to the current rotation state, so you can stay in landscape mode even if you rotate your device. Found this to be much better.
