Dec 17, 2018 The simplest Android VLC Remote you'll ever find. This VLC Remote Control App lets you control VLC Media Player on your desktop or laptop and allows you to browse, play your computer files as well as YouTube videos. VLC for Mobile is a port of the free VLC media player to iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. It can play all your movies, shows and music in most formats directly without conversion.
Today, a formal notification of copyright infringement was sent to Apple Inc. Regarding distribution of the VLC media player for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. VLC media player is free software licensed solely under the terms of the open source GNU General Public License (a.k.a.

Despite the complaint, the official site supports the VLC app for iOS, and tweets on their Twitter account state, “So far, VLC is not going out of the AppStore,” and, “Maybe the FSF should actually ask us our opinion instead of writing misleading articles about VLC.” It’s a shame the VLC app for iOS could be pulled, because it’s possibly the best media player available, and it’s free. It also made it in to this week after the app went universal, making it compatible with the iPhone. If you want it, grab it while you still can from the.
