I can't wait to see what people come up with in the extension
capabilities they're putting into 1.1.

builds>

"VLC Media Player does a fairly great job playing any media file on
nearly any system. Now it's slowly being opened up to extensions that can
enrich and expand your music and movies, which you can jump ahead and
grab.
VLC 1.1 will feature its own scripting language, Lua, that will allow for
richer and more powerful extensions than the semi-add-ons that have
popped up here and there for VLC.At the moment, extensions and add-ons
are available in the nightly, experimental builds of VLC, where you'll
have to manually copy script files into a particular folder on your
system. There's one or two demo add-ons available for services like
Last.fm and IMDB that pull information about your movie file, but the
great stuff is yet to come, we'd imagine."
