This vlc is inscrutable on the ipad. I see none of the menus shown in the windows version. I cannot open files if i want to, unless the playvlc comes up for some for some reason i cannot figure out.

This is the best streaming app in terms of functionality I’ve found on iPhone. GoodPlayer, “real” VLC, etc have interesting features and potentially easier setup but get bogged down with weird buffering problems, or bizarre interface choices. VLC streamer works way more often than others and it has great interface customization Search can be a bit iffy if your library gets large, but the tagging system is solid. Would love to see search work with larger libraries (or for the keyboard to dismiss reliably) but again it’s a trivial problem. The need to preprocess videos is a small price for them to reliably work on the phone and the access control via a simple password is helpful. Bottom line: it works!

App does not work as a standalone iOS VLC app. It requires a pc/mac host to function. Not even close to feature dense as the real free to download open source and buggy vlc player currently on the store.

I rarely spring for the pro version of any free app, even when cheap, but this one is totally deserving and worth it.

I have a 1GB small 5port switch connected to a Ubiquity Unifi Pro access points. I have streamed 3 large movie files and works without a hiccup. Please note when I was using my WAN modem with built In WiFi provided by my ISP, it would be very inconsistent and to many crashes. It was once I invested in a unifi WiFi, that was life changing. I will try with other video formats and stress test it.

The only reason I installed this app was so I could stream from my pc to my chromecast using my phone. It doesn’t do that. I can’t see any reason to keep this app. Waste of money.

I’m a grandma. I believe Techno-dinosaur is the correct term. I don’t know what this app does but I bought it to thank the developers for all the times I’ve enjoyed using vlc. I’ll ask my seven year old grandson to show me how to use it.

Great app!

If you have hours to spend troubleshooting your firewall, router and PC it works great!

This app is not usable. Even after using its transfer dvd to iPad, playback is intermittent, just stops, or looses audio. Want my money back. Won’t buy from these people ever again. PC application for streaming that mates with this app seems to work - but is buggy as well. Processing of dvd just stops part way through the disk. Restart, change settings to all possible values to see if ANYTHING works reliably - no joy. Just junk. Older versions were better. I give up on this app.
