#VLC UWP FOR WINDOWS 10#

While the latter is more or less dead at this point, the Xbox One is not.

It runs on Microsoft's Xbox One, and on Windows 10 Mobile. The VLC program is still more powerful and better in all regards.īut Windows 10 runs on other devices as well. First, there is still no reason to run the VLC application on a Windows 10 PC. With Windows 10, things have changed a bit. The VLC app was a welcome addition on any device that desktop programs would not run on, but that was the scope of its usefulness. The situation was different for Windows RT devices as you could not run legacy Windows programs on the devices. That does not make the application bad necessarily, but if you have the choice between a great product and one that is good but inferior, you will probably pick the great one all the time.

You can modify the interface, install extensions, customize the player, modify keyboard shortcuts and other functionality, and do many things that the app does not support. Any user who ran Windows 8 on a PC could use the desktop client which is more powerful in all aspects. My answer back then was that no one but Windows RT users needed the VLC app. The player uses a different layout than the desktop version as it is optimized for touch. You can use it to play video or audio files, and also stream media. It is probably one of the best, if not the best, media player that is available on the Windows 10 Store.

VLC for Windows 10 is a great application, don't get me wrong. The answer is different this time depending on the devices that you are using. The campaign was successful, and the company released VLC for Windows 8 eventually to the public.īack then, I asked, ' Who is going to use the VLC Media Player app for Windows 8', and I'm asking the question today again. When Microsoft released Windows 8, VLC ran a Kickstarter campaign to fund the development of a VLC app for that operating system. I bought the series x and my lg oled with the intention of streaming via smb and its just extremely frustrating that everything worked now it doesn't.VLC 2.2 for UWP, what is that you may ask. I understand we are spoiled these free tools exist at all I just wish there was a way to alert someone who might be willing to work on the issue for resolution. I am going to have to look at the other solutions some have suggested but I must say it is annoying and incomprehensible how the volunteers who are available to work on other platforms can't spend time supporting what I must imagine is a high demand product.

#VLC UWP UPDATE#

If no update was done how is this possible? I also don't understand why it worked beautifully for years and now it blacks out like you said w/ audio still going. I'm apparently going to have to spend $100s on a Dune-HD media player because these idiots refuse to update their app. Good luck finding anything else that browses SMB shares for playback though. The one on Xbox should be removed because it's a pile of shiit and they refuse to support it at all. It's absolutely ridiculous they won't compile the current version to release on Xbox. Yeah, the damn thing constantly decides to start playing a video then go black screen while the audio keeps going for no apparent reason.
