VLC player

[burnsaa]

So I read on the front page that vlc player will be coming to the iPhone albeit only for the jailbreaking community. I'm wondering if apple would ever let a program like this in the app store and if not why not? This is just the type of program that I would pay money for. Also I would love a program where I could stream videos & photos from my WHS to my iPhone.

They'll allow it; nothing in the guidelines forbids it.

Really? I'd imagine them not allowing VLC for iPhone because it takes away from iTunes specific formats, no?

But I trust you cmaier, since you've gone over the app requirements more so than I have.

This is kinda interesting.

VLC would kill all needs to use iTunes. You wish Apple would support the VLC.

I wish, hope, and pray that they do. Not all of my media is in apples format in fact none of my videos are and I hate having to convert them to QuickTime friendly files just to watch them on the iPhone.

that would be nice it would save from having to convert all videos you want to .mp4 but that makes me wonder, if its not itunes supported how are you to get the video onto your ipod/iphone?

I downloaded vlc player hoping that it would play videos that people send me in email. Does it do that? I'm not talking porn videos, mind you!
