There are fifteen bug fixes in VLC 2.2.3, covering various areas of the software, including demuxing, decoding, video output, skins, Qt port, as well as Mac OS X and Windows fixes. Taking a closer look, we can notice that VLC Media Player 2.2.3 addresses a regression with the Windows Media Video (WMV) format, the MKV tags support has been improved, a potential MKV (Matroska) infinite loop was fixed, along with a potential stack overflow for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), whose quality selection should work again.
