Coming to regular updates, VLC received update 1.0.4 yesterday and this update introduced serious video playback issues. The upcoming update should fix the issues.
@brandonleblanc Thanks Brandon. We introduced serious bugs with 1.0.4 and I just sent an update that will solve the video playback issue.
