VLC Media Player 3.0.1
VideoLAN has updated its open-source VLC media player to version 3.0.1, fixing Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG), improving HEVC 10-bit performance with the VideoToolbox framework, and improving MKV seeking speed. The release returns an option to disable the fullscreen controller panel, improves auto-layouts, removes a misleading playback warning indicator, fixes a bug with the show sidebar setting being ignored on restart, and resolves issues with Chromecast audio detection.

No automatic update to 3.0.0 or 3.0.1, version 2.8.3 insisted it was still current. I had to manually download 3.0.1.
My 3.0.0 similarly thought it was current. Of course, I’m inclined to sympathize, since I just turned 70.05.
