Yesterday I wanted to watch a show with 2 different subtitles on simultaneously. I looked it up and found a 6 years old thread saying it was possible with VLC4.

I found VLC 4 on their website, presented as something like a rolling beta release.

The interface is far superior to VLC3, with things I usually add manually that are already there.

I don't get why things that have been available for years aren't pushed to the stable version. Are those still unstable? Abandoned?

I didn't have time to test it much.

I didn't know they were that slow, but that leave this part of the question unanswered : if they have a fonctionnalities that have been working for 6 years, why don't they put those in VLC3?

Again, maybe it's just because those functionnalities are not that stable yet, I only tried for 20minutes yesterday...
