All those iOS owners who had been disappointed when VLC media player
was pulled off from the app store can now heave a sigh of relief. The
utility’s edition 2.0 is here. The VideoLAN tool will be pushed out only
to those who have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch which run the
platform’s version 5.1or above.
The Cupertino-based company had pulled the utility from its app store way back in 2011, owing to software’s General Public License which clashed with various parameters set by the iPhone maker. Although the service is still open source, it is now bi-licensed under the Mozilla Public License version 2 and the GPLv2. The code too will be pushed to the fore today itself.
While speaking to the guys over at The Next Web, VideoLAN said that this is not merely an upgrade, but a complete re-write from ground up. It went on to call the app faster than the previous version, mentioning that the tool is compatible with all files that are supported by the desktop edition.
