The guy does say in the video that they are trying to appeal to users who are used to streaming services and help with content discovery. He didn't really say how but it is logical to assume that it points to integration of 3rd party streaming services.

- rakoo 6y agoThere already was a discussion of adding bittorrent to VLC somehow, but IIRC they didn't want to include it in the core distribution of VLC for fear of copyright owners
- rakoo 6y agoYes, VLC will probably be able to read from new sources because the web as a distribution platform is dead, every content publisher has their own way of working that doesn't interoperate with others. That doesn't mean VLC will start creating a business model around that.
