2.2.0

Added:

• An option to force a custom double click interval, ignoring the OS setting. Useful for making fullscreen's double click time window shorter or longer. Fixes #64.

Changed:

• Improved the settings page under "Video -> Filters -> Pause click". Names of some options were changed to better reflect what they do, e.g. "Ignore double clicks" -> "Prevent pause/play from triggering on double click". The options are also grouped by a common theme now.

Fixed:

• The "Ignore double clicks" option now forces the custom double click interval on the fullscreen toggle, fixing the issue of having to guess fullscreen's double click interval, which caused this option to misbehave when under-guessed.

2.1.0

• Fixed the plugin not handling DVD menus properly -- it will no longer pause on clicks done in menu screens
• Added an option to overlay the pause/play icons on the video, just like VLC does it when you hit the space bar
  • This option is enabled by default. If you don't like it, you can disable it in settings
• Added experimental support for the nightly VLC 4.0 -- for more information see README.md

2.0.0

• Added an option to disable full screen toggle on double click
• Added an option to disable context menu popup on right click
• Added an option to assign full screen toggle to any mouse button
• Added an option to assign context menu popup to any mouse button

Now you can freely assign pause/play, full screen toggle and context menu popup on any mouse button, as well as disable the full screen toggle and context menu popup if they were getting in your way of using the plugin.

Major version bump due to breaking settings compatibility with the previous versions of the plugin. Specifically, all the settings from the Video -> Filters -> Pause click section, except the "Double click interval", will be reset to their default values. The plugin enabling check boxes are unaffected, they will stay as they are.

1.0.0

• Added support for VLC 3.0.
  • New dependency of libvlc-dev (Debian) was added due to the need of the version macro from vlc/libvlc_version.h.
• Experimental macOS builds are now available, please report any issues.
• Windows and macOS builds are now done out-of-tree, just like Linux builds are.
  • Makefile now has an optional OS argument, since it's no longer used exclusively for Linux.
• Stopped maintaining the Docker Hub image for Windows corss-compilation, just use the provided Dockerfile to create the image locally.

This release just adds support for VLC 3.0 and out-of-tree builds, there are no new features or any kind of changes or bug fixes, so if you are using version 0.4.0 with VLC 2.1 or 2.2, there is no point in updating.

0.4.0

• Added a long requested feature that allows the plugin to ignore double-clicking, making it possible to full-screen a video without pausing it. You can enable this feature in the plugin preferences, it's disabled by default. It's disabled by default because in order to detect double clicks, the plugin delays the pause/play action in the anticipation of the second click, so it doesn't feel as snappy as it's without the double-click detection delay.

• Merged two versions of the plugin source code into one. The side-effect of this is that VLC 2.1's usage instructions became identical to VLC 2.2's, i.e. you now also have to check the checkbox in Interface -> Control Interfaces -> Pause/Play video on mouse click on VLC 2.1, when you didn't before.

0.3.2

• Fixed the issue of the plugin installation directory path not being portable across different Linux distributions, resulting in the plugin being installed in a directory where VLC wasn't configured to look for plugins.
• Minor documentation improvements

Just a minor release (patch version bump) that fixes installation on Linux.

Windows users, use the binaries from the previous release. No plugin code has changed in this release.

0.3.1

• Fixed a bug when a double-click with left mouse key would trigger the pause/play regardless of which mouse key was selected for triggering the pause/play.
• Added screenshot links to the usage instructions.
• Dropped support of VLC 3.0.0 for now, as this VLC version has not been released yet and I'm not able to build the latest development progress of VLC.

No OS X binaries as I don't have an OS X system to build them. Feel free to contribute them though, we have build instructions that you could follow.

0.3.0

• Added ability to select which mouse button to use for pausing. Note that Scroll Up/Down (maybe also Left and Right) don't seem to work on Windows, but do work on Linux. VLC simply doesn't notify the plugin of those mouse clicks on Windows.
• Fixed the issue that Mouse Left double-clicking on Windows would result in previously paused video being played, or the other way around -- previously played video being paused.
• Added a Dockerfile in case you feel like cross-compiling Windows plugin binaries yourself.
• Travis-CI now will be checking any PRs that will be made, making sure PRs build on Linux and Windows.

No OS X binaries as I don't have an OS X system to build them. Feel free to contribute them though, we have some build instructions somewhere.

0.2.1

• Fixed undefined reference errors during building, caused by malformed Makefile.
• Removed unused variable warnings.
• Added generic build instructions, so that users would know how to build their own plugin binaries if they want to.
• Added OS X plugin binaries for 2.2.x and 3.0.x, kindly contributed by @xenio.

Windows plugin binaries didn't change since the last release, so attaching just the OS X plugin binaries here.

0.2.0

• Added support of VLC 2.2.x and 3.0.x.
• Replaced wildcard removal of objects files on an exact removel of the object file by its name in make clean.
• Added more precompiled Windows binaries.
