Notes:

• Because of internal changes in VLC, the minimum version of VLC required is 1.1.0
• VLC support only uncompressed .rar files
• VLC 1.1.x do not support lua scripts that uses GUIs under MAC-OSx, so: this plugin WILL NOT work on your MAC!

Know issues:

• The search fail if you click the button two times consecutively

Recent fixes:
