Hello Guix, I just pushed a major VLC update to the 'core-updates' branch, commit 76277052939524d1ea3394f83739f06efd0dd8ae. 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 <r...@gnu.org> for his invaluable help on this commit! Mark
