Where is VLC media player?

[Ashish Gupta888]

After facing heck loads of criticism, I doubt if they port unusable app. It may have some bugs but should do its job. Lets see...

 

[Conan143]

one after another bugs pop out...so expecting release would be a waste of time...

VLC devs building this app from last 2 years.......man in 1 years MS team build the whole new mobile OS and vlc team.......

Either they are building a super galactic awesome kind of video player or a legendary crap...

I am very much interested to see this awesome VLC app
Afterall what kind of app takes this much time.

They ran into an issue with the Windows App Certification Kit. The Windows Phone Store apparently isn't using the newest verson:

Yeah... so those functions are documented as authorized, yet the store validation complains. The local one doesn't...

Confirmed with MS support, they are using WAC 3.3, while we need 3.4 to be deployed. We probably will need Redmond team for that [1/2]
However, they are off duty until Monday (PST). There's nothing we can do now, and we'll all have to wait. Sorry about that :/ [2/2]

To clarify, the beta build of VLC for WP is fine, but the store is using an older validator (3.3) than the latest and we need 3.4. [1/2]
So, we're waiting for @Microsoft to update the store to use the latest WACK validator (3.4) to be able to send it. [2/2]

So now a store update after then we can hope for an app. Sounds like many more days to me

I'm just amazed that it took them 2yrs to develop an app for windows phone. That app better has be worth it. They've been dragging this on for too long.

So if the fix will take a while, they'll just release the .appx. Then anyone can have it.

They Better do this as soon as possible.....delay is creating a lot of negative buzz about them.

Its closed. You may have to wait for its public release.

It shouldn't as it's not their fault. It's not helpful if developer tools don't emulate the current store version.

And over a year before then, when they made the time table of six months for the Wishes 8 version and the months after that for the WP version?

 

[Conan143]

It's entirely their fault ...They were working on a mere videoplayer app ( I know developing is not that easy but) for entire two years what they have done announced a beta with no app to test...this is just lame...the app should be ready before announcement of windows phone 8.1 ...and u know the first screenshots surfaced in the internet were from April ..Now its a month left to 2015..
The worst part is their communication in twitter is awful at its best...

 

[Mellifluous]

VideoLAN is a not for profit organisation with volunteers, mainly students, as developers. I agree that their communication could be better but most of them are at the start of careers and trying to manage the expectations of thousands of people is probably a big learning experience for them.

Just watched sneak peak of beta version shared by Thomas Nigro on youtube and they have done a good job. Watch it here:

[shayanr]

Yup its amazing

 

[iamakii]

Looks really promising. MS should take notes for their music and video app.

Happy VLC day! It's been exactly 23 months since the kickstarter was funded. Here's to another 23 months of waiting

Did you managed to get it or nothing still?

I'm quite sure that there will be an article on the frontpage when it's released. That may take some time, as Microsoft needs to update their store.
