Your commit message implied both gst1 and VLC had advantages and disadvantages, I was throwing out one more that might have switched the balance in favour of VLC. And I'm well aware that I don't count, I never count, everyone always ignores me. Hence me alias in places that require two names - onefang Rejected. Even being the biggest user of Evas_3D outside of Samsung doesn't get me listened to by the Evas_3D developers. :-P Meh, I'm used to it. Feel free to ignore this rant. lol -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
