If I remember correctly, the available beps are very outdated and the
newer versions don't even build a functional release due to the
requirement for a number of other 3rd party libs etc.
The old release (0.8x?) had had a native interface written for it.
A new release was being worked on (by Cian I believe) to update the
whole build including native front end eventually, but I think it only
got as far as the backend libraries building from what I saw on IRC?

Would it be possible to make fixing these bugs a priority? It would be great to
have an updated VLC running on Haiku. I resurrected an old testing version of
1.0.5 and was able to start it and play videos. Sound was broken and it had
warnings on startup but that is still a big improvement.
Thanks,
Andrew
