Festive VLC

#1 Post by neddie »

Has anyone else noticed that the VLC traffic cone has got a Christmas hat on now?
I'm not sure if it's a date-sensitive bit of code, or the result of a recent software update?

I do not use VLC often, but I did run it this past Friday and I noticed the tux with a santa hat.

It is date-sensitive, I have noticed the change at a time I hadn't done any upgrade.

Yes, it's been a "Christmas Egg" in there for quite a while.

VLC had that hat last Christmas as well - and the one before that. It is definitely date sensitive.

Oops. Mod me "unobservant" then :) Turns out I usually just run the regular movie player unless that has problems. Well, it made me smile anyway, thanks VLC devs!
