This is just a very short post about a cool hack made by someone on the VideoLAN forum: VLC&Coverflow.
This webpage uses Flash technology to let you choose the movie you want, in a CoverFlow-Like mode.
When selected, you can get the VLC to play it without the disadvantages of Flash Video format (slow, low quality, CPU hungry...)

Just some miscellaneous news about VLC and build systems:

VLC can be built with a classical process:
./bootstrap; ./configure --options; make
However, since VLC is very modular, not everyone wants the same modules built so the configure line can be very long.
Therefore, I'll try to explain a bit the main configure options and give a few examples.
