My educated guess for the VLC 1.1.0 stable release would be March or April. There should better planning visibility after the '09 developer meeting this week-end.

Until then you're going to have to use pre-releases. I still need to iron out a few critical bugs before I update the current old one.

Or then find someone (else) to fork the existing VLC 1.0 and maintain it for N900.

For what its worth, I've put redenisc's pre-release version of VLC (taken from his website) into my repository. Go to the website on my signature to see the repository details. Use the Maemo 5 (Fremantle) repository.

As I said, quite a lot of ARMv7 and/or Maemo5 improvements were or are being done in the development branch:
http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/NEWS

You can build VLC 1.0 for Maemo 5, but don't expect much as it predates the N900 announcement...

Qole: I'm trying to build a more recent and complete version. But there are a few critical bugs to work around. I have found one rather annoying segfault in the GCC unwinding code By the way, if anyone knows of to stick a more recent toolchain into scratchbox, that would be awesome.

okay so since vlc was not in the rep i tryed out the solution with knots2

and now......... gentlemen i got openvpn + knots2 streaming my satellite tv to my nokia N900

i followed the http://wiki.maemo.org/Knots guide and then i copyed the Nokia N900 profile and changed the bitrate to 1000 and the width 320 and height 240
I got the N900 streaming without any lag and in acceptable quality, i haven't tryed on a 3.5G yet because there is not that a good coverage

so this is great until vlc comes in the picture

I hope something is released soon, since it is getting old for videos that play fine on the Archos 5 to not play on the N900- same exact chipset.

At least release some codec updates for the current player. I sense there was not a lot of codec and driver testing on the N900, based on relative performance. I can understand why Flash plays better on the Archos 5 (Flashlite 3) but not why avi and divx have some problems on the N900 and not the Archos 5.

Avi and divx that plays on the Archos 5 but at least 30% have these problems on the N900:

1. Green screen for 80% of the display.
2. Stutters for about 15 seconds
3. Frame drops
4. Do not play at all.

I am not trying hi def vids. None were greater than the native res of the N900.
