Late last week VideoLAN released version 3.0.0 of its popular multi-platform media playing client VLC. Version 3.0 of VLC, branch codename Vetinari, has a number of standout attractions destined to make it even more popular. I particularly welcome the Chromecast streaming support but others will be equally delighted by the support for hardware accelerated 4K and 8K playback, and its HDR support.
