It is faster than 2.0.8 to open on OSX, yes. And yes, a bit of polish has been done on the OSX interface, but there is a bit more yet to do :)

As with every major release, we usually wait for a week before activating it for normal people :)

Hello, I would be very interested to fix all that. Please mail me to give me samples, and I'll do my best to fix it.

It should be faster. What is the format?

by jbk 13y ago
Yes. The list will be ready for the final release. But mostly DVD input, streaming output and visualizations (the later 2 will be LGPL in 2.2.0).

Yes, but this is a hidden feature :)

No, just run the buildAspenProject scripts as documented here: https://wiki.videolan.org/iOSCompile

None of them are open source, though. And VLC is probably faster.

As in decoders, none. As in renderers and converters, all of them.

Because the GPL is incompatible with the AppStore terms, because it notably limits the usage rights. I relicensed most of VLC engine to LGPL, during the past 2 years, and finished it last november. Since then, we rewrote the app for iOS and

So far, we support ftp, http, rtp, rtsp, mms, sdp, tcp, webdav and udp. We are notably missing Samba (our module for samba is not LGPLv2), afp (we don't have an afp module) and Upnp (the library is not ported to iOS). Help is welcome t

We are working on that for a later version :)
