VLC tops 6B downloads, previews AI-generated subtitles
It can actually send to Google the media you are playing:
https://github.com/videolan/vlc/blob/f908ef4981c93a8b76805ad...
and to their own servers:
https://github.com/videolan/vlc/blob/f908ef4981c93a8b76805ad...
should could fetch subtitles as the same time ?
edit: cf, what "a3w" says too.

Open source maintainers underpaid, swamped by security, and going gray
You have not maintained popular open source projects for consumers then. There is a reason why the VLC repo no longer has an Issues tab: https://github.com/videolan/vlc

VideoLAN Security Bulletin VLC 3.0.21
> Security Bulletin VLC 3.0.21
> Summary: Vulnerability fixed in VLC media player
> Date: June 2024
> Affected versions: VLC media player 3.0.20 and earlier
> ID: VideoLAN-SB-VLC-3021
> Details
> A denial of service through a potential integer overflow could be triggered with a maliciously crafted mms stream (heap based overflow)
> Impact
> If successful, a malicious third party could trigger either a crash of VLC or an arbitratry code execution with the privileges of the target user.
> While these issues in themselves are most likely to just crash the player, we can't exclude that they could be combined to leak user informations or remotely execute code. ASLR and DEP help reduce the likelyness of code execution, but may be bypassed.
> We have not seen exploits performing code execution through this vulnerability.
> Threat mitigation
> Exploitation of those issues requires the user to explicitly open a maliciously crafted mms stream.
> Workarounds
> The user should refrain from opening mms streams from untrusted third parties (or disable the VLC browser plugins), until the patch is applied.
> Solution
> VLC media player 3.0.21 addresses the issue.
> Credits
> Reported by Andreas Fobian of Mantodea Security GmbH

Hz in Music and changing it
No. You can use a music player such as VLC Media Player to play music back tuned up or down slightly if you wish. But if people are affected by some frequencies and not others, that would be new.

I Am SOLO | S1E01 - Ep. 1 | 2021-07-14
I watched S1E01 using the AI-generated subs and they were surprisingly good! You just need to download both the sub file (.srt) and the raw video (.mkv) and watch it using a video player like VLC (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/). Subs and raw files at the links below thanks to u/MNLYYZYEG

It might be the media player you use. I recommend using VLC media player.

C++ is everywhere, but noone really talks about it. What are people's thoughts?
Seems to be C, not C++ to me. The C++ code is GUI wrappers to C++ GUI systems.
