This weekend, Jean-Philippe André, a developer of VLC, has announced that the next version, 1.1 is added support for Firefox-style extensions, providing additional functionality to the program.
The difference of the extensions with modules that will supports VLC language. While the modules are written in C++ and must be compiled, the extensions are written in Lua, a simple, lightweight object-oriented language, that will help the creation and development of the extensions. This way, VLC is expected to increase its functionality with, for example- artist information on Wikipedia, Media Meta Data fetching from Last.fm, the search for letters, etc..
