I use VLC on my iDevices, and I add media to it pretty easily. The fact that you expected this to work out of the box is interesting - I mean, I agree, it should work that way - but the fact that you can still very much manage your entire Media library on an iPad, user filesystem basis, shouldn't be discarded. You just didn't know you could do that with VLC maybe? (Or FileExplorer, or many of hundreds of other apps ..)
- ACS_Solver 7y agoFrom what I recall, there was some kind of problem with apps not making use of hardware video decoding. I vaguely remember trying VLC but only getting acceptable performance on Apple's own application without a jailbreak. This is circa 2013 though.
