– IP address
– Network mask
– Primary DNS
– Primary WINS

Zodttd has updated VLC4iPhone.

Changes:

In this release I have fixed many bugs, including the dreaded bug that caused many people not to see video in the last beta release. Some codecs (RTMP for instance) are still missing, and depending on the demand for them, I will add them and update to a later VLC version as well.

The only drawback is performance of videos of resolutions of 640×480 or greater. What I’ve done is lowered the decoding resolution of many formats of video at this resolution so now you are able to be play them at decent speeds. The quality of the picture suffers however. I suggest users of vlc4iphone to use videos of 320×240 resolution if possible.

sverx released a library which plays XM modules on Nintendo DS.

Release notes:

finally, after many hours spent trying to write something that looks like an API documentation 😉 I can release the long time ago promised XM replay library.

It works completely on ARM7, it has some effect column support, some volume column support, instruments with complete volume envelopes support, 8 & 16 bit samples with normal & ping-pong loop support…

Feedback about the lib and the documentation is warmly welcome! Thanks everybody that helped me to achieve this personal milestone… and I hope somebody will find my work worth a try 🙂
