I pushed it to 'core-updates' because I've been living on that branch for months, and so it's the only branch that I can easily test for. However, I strongly suspect that the old VLC on master, and the old ffmpeg-2.8 that it depends on, are most likely a security risk. So, I would be grateful if someone could cherry-pick this commit to 'master', do some basic testing on it, and then push it on my behalf if it works. Many thanks to Roel Janssen for his invaluable help on this commit! Mark
