I know that most geeks tend to use VLC as their go to media player, but what percentage of your user base do you think takes advantage of the full feature set of VLC? I work in the cable industry, so we use VLC for everything from testing mulitcast streams, to encoding video to streaming out to test newly installed equipment. I remember ~4 years ago at my old job we got a 40K Trevini analyzer, but no one actually knew how to use it. So I just installed VLC and Ethereal (now wireshark) on it, and that's all we ever used.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured. Is that disheartening at all? I mean, what is the general philosophy amongst the devs as to who VLC is "for"?

Sidenote, why the crap doesn't the --video-title="derp" switch ever work?! I want to be able to join a multicast channel but set the title bar of the player to the actual call sign, and it doesn't work!

I don't seriously expect you to answer that, just venting.
