VLC making its way to Windows Phone very soon

Mostly it's needed for .mkv files and I hope it gives us options to change audio in videos with dual language audio. And ofcourse it's a breaking news for WinPhans

Moliplayer is a good alternative and it plays most of the formats and its a good app which I've purchased.

Last time I check, Moliplayer does not support V. O. S. E files.  We do really need VLC on WP. 

But vlc is free. That's the best part. I was waiting to hear this news so long.

Agreed.  That is what I've been using in place of VLC, but once VLC is released I'll almost certainly switch to it for just about everything.  I have enjoyed OneMusic as my alternative to Xbox Music, but it will be interesting to see what VLC brings to the table there.

Yes. But the downside to that is that u have to pay for it. From what I hear VLC is gonna be free. And with the free version of moliplayer you can only use the app for a limited time so u always have to reinstall it

Why are people excited about this?  The W8 version is a total piece of garbage.

Well we hope it will be a newly built app and replicate experience on desktop.

@x l'm tc That is an old app. I think they are making a new Universal App.

Well, that would be nice.  But after seeing what was produced for W8, I will reserve judgement.

The W8 version is very late, lacking many feautures, and doesn't have an RT counterpart..     ...However, better than NO app :D 

Unfortunately I have to agree. The desktop version is brilliant but the modern version is still like an early alpha build and they haven't updated it since its release

Beta.

Same here (:

Guys, do u all think that it will be preferred more than MOLI PLAYER??? ;) Opinions please... ;)

Ya definitely bcoz its widely used and famous than moliplayer.
P.S : I love moliplayer though

I would bet money on it.

For being free yes a lot of people will say yes ;)

Yeah sure it's is widely known and the biggest factor is VLC maybe free (I am not sure about it) and MoliPlayer is a paid app but I'm sure people are not going to dump MoliPlayer as it is also a very good Media Player.

Same thoughts here. We got moliplayer for WP, mobile.hd for WRT. VLC is simply late, stopped waiting for it months ago.

I'm glad you mentioned mobile.HD.  I don't understand why the reviews say it doesn't work with many videos.  It worked with everything I've tried.

Whoa, you've read its reviews! I thought this thing ve got some enemies among journalists because I couldn't see a word about that great app.

Someone told Microsoft to Call google and tell them for bring their apps for windows phone... Hardly waiting for a good blogger app ... Or Microsoft u dev. Itself for slap google ...

I see.

Thats not gonna happen.

Music? Forget that... It'll be good for .mkv files from the excellent bit torrent client we windows phone users have (wp torrent pro i think?) all of which are totally and perfectly legitimate obviously... I have a couple of media players that play .mkv files already but vlc is a well known and usually very nice solution I will be very happy to have... Won't replace Xbox music for me bit definitely be my new go to for video files which I watch a lot of because my wife and I have a small cabin in the woods with no electricity and no cell coverage so I normally download a bunch of crap on my 1520, charge up the battery and we can watch movies all night... Even got a case with a kickstand so its actually pretty awesome.

You use XBM? I've tried to, but can't

When 8gigs of music is streamed to you, i can certainly use xbox music. Fire up windows, put music in folder, fire up windows player, make sure music play sees folder.  Fire up music on windows and wait for sync.  Go to windows phone, enjoy music after music after music.  Currently being lazy on dumping 1.3gigs of music on my 925 to my pc to cloud sync it. Some of my music is two decades old that is now synced with no repurchase, just the monthly fee, and when you have 2 tablets, 2 desktops and a phone that it syncs with, well worth it imo.

Its convenient, has a huge selection and, in my experience, it just works... What's not to love? Would be nice to combine xbl, office 365 and xbm to one subscription with sharability features... I share my office 365 with my wife... Would like to be able to share xbm too (we have two subscriptions now) and xbl... But we still would need to separate gamer tags... Would like to see MS come up with some super sweet family plan deal providing flexibility and value... Even if it didn't save us much dough it'd be awesome if it was streamlined and simplified to one bill.

@duncanstives For now I don't need a family plan because no one uses a WindowsPhone in my family but my father may switch to WP if he finds a device better than his Lenovo K900 and around same price as LenK900. If he switches to WP then even I will need a sharable plan so that it doesn't costs too much.

You can't? What happens when you try? Works great.for me... Only issues I'd REALLY like to see addressed is the lag before song information is displayed under lock screen while switching tracks... I often listen to my music on shuffle at work and sometimes I would like to skip a few songs... Its annoying to have to wait each time to see if its a song I want to hear... Its not long but if you skip 10 songs (waiting each time) it adds up... Way annoying.

Will VLC outpace MoliPlayer? ;)

Yes finally, best app to play anything!

What took so much time for the developer to develop a simple VLC app for Windows Phone... It has been in news since last year...

To be precise vlc not in windows rt is MS failure not team VLC failure ! Coz anyways all winrt apps runs in a CLR so MS should have made all WinRT apps run in both x86 and ARM(windows rt at least if not windows phone ) !! Except for the native code !!

Ohhhh yeaaaaa!!!
AWESOME!!!

Personally I use MoliPlayer Pro for my video needs but VLC is always a welcome, for those who don't / can't use MP Pro! I'm eager to see how VLC competes with MP Pro (though paid, but still) which has improved a lot since its original release :) *fingers crossed*

I use it too..
But watching MAJOR apps like Vlc come to this platform, JUST AWESOME. Moliplayer is kickass no doubt, more options always welcome

Yeah, Big official app names matters a lot!

Hey when is ur lumia 930 coming ;)..??

Errr... No fixed date yet :P

I think VLC would surpass MoliPlayer's popularity on WPs because it's already very famous.

Very likely. I mean especially with the new WP owners, they'll definitely look for "VLC" in store before any other video player. But it would be interesting to see how it competes with MPPro with respect to features. MPPro has got a lot of them!

If VLC gets something different for me... Definitely would get it... Or else No thanks VLC... I would rather support the developer who was and is with Windows Phone irrespective of its audience count...

Agreed. That should be our way to show sympathy to the devs who's been loyal and helping WP users long before VLC makes its entrance.

If the VLC for WP is like the desktop version which plays almost every format of videos and audios then all we have to say is RIP MoliPlayer

VLC will most certainly do that.
But MPPro has some exceptional abilities that are not even found in desktop version of VLC. Downloading videos from inbuilt browser, instant wifi transfer, upnp sharing, highly detailed settings page, the video player UI (that includes swipe functions for volume, brightness, screen lock and a lot more!) in fact I doubt VLC can't compete with MPPro, not initially at least.

I think a lot of people would love to have both the Media Players because VLC plays almost anything and MPP has a lot of good features that are not available in VLC. The features of MPP maybe a plus point in keeping it a famous app.

Yes, definitely.. But I really like the friendly interface of MPPro.. If vlc provides something on that levels, I'd go for it.. Otherwise I'm more than happy with Moliplayer pro

Finally.

finally! but what about Windows RT!!

Isn't it available on Win RT¿

No, I have the surface RT and no go.

Think they said that the RT version would be out around the same time as the phone app. It will take ages for them to actually work properly though. The windows 8 store app is still pretty awful and the android app is still in Beta. It's a really complicated program, especially to put on a mobile platform. Just glad that its coming at all.

Some boring history lesson comes here. I bought my 1st gen Surface RT in 2012 december, 18 months (!) ago. The same month, VLC started its kickstarter (money theft) campaign, to port their video player to Windows 8 metro. There were promises made, that both the x86+x64 and the ARM version will be released. In 2013 april, people started to realize there are no miracles on this planet, and the unmaintenable spagetti code of VLC cannot be simply just compiled for visual studio 2013, but it needs to be actually rewritten from scratch. And that will take a SH*TLOAD of time! That was the date, when I started to lose faith in the project overall. In 2013 august, status updates started to be happening less and less frequently: clear sign of major project management or resource related issues in the background (anybody over 25 and working in the IT industry knows what I am talking about, sorry teenagers you will understand it only later when you get older).
Fast forward 13 months: 2014 february, the first public beta for x86+x64 released. By this time, not the faintest hope for any ARM release in the foreseable future (that means not in 2014 for sure). Another 6 months passed since that time, still the x86 version did not receive any performance improvement: it still decodes the video from software, no GPU acceleration support. That means 2 serious issues: #1 on the ARM port (if it will be ever made in this century) for smartphones it will suck the a fully charged battery in 45-60 minutes due to the GPU not utilized for power-efficient video decoding, and #2 connecting to the 1st issue: as the GPU on these smartphones support HW acceleration only for some VERY LIMITED set of codecs, like H.264, there isnt even a theoretical possibility to have a 2,5 hour video playback if watching xvid videos. So long story short, I am very sad, that my surface 1 RT is already becoming obsolete, still I couldnt watch a damn video using the VLC player on it. When I read these comments hoping all kind of exotic feature-wishes from you guys, I am always wondering: what kind of strong drugs you are living on? When even the most basic VLC features are also missing from the metro app, do you guys really seriously believe, that your exotic wishes will be ever fullfilled? Dont you learn from the past events of this whole story?

Finally :)

Heck yeah I'm excited, long as it had all the features.

Excelent!

I'm in contact with vlc developer for wp in twitter. Even he told me coming soon.

Yeah i know, he used to tease some photos ! :)

Where can we see those?

It's only the Tile :\
like i said "tease"
http://t.co/qUiGpvlMjL and http://t.co/0quOKZNk7O

on twitter*

Of Course! Damn Happy!!

I won't be surprised to see the BETA crashing.

Yep, just like the Windows 8/8.1 app currently does. So frustrating.

Yeah, the windows 8.1 app is garbage. Pretty much unusable.

I couldn't even use it for just once

Hey dont say garbage, they will fix it soon

Im guessing if you wanted 1st crack @ it wasnt free eg. Their kickstarter campaign

I don't know why people are excited about this news. They have still not been able to compile this app for Windows RT and the Windows 8/8.1 version released about 6months ago is hardly usable. What magic are they going to conjure to make the Windows Phone version work when they cannot even fix the Window 8 version.

This. The 8.1 version is complete garbage.

Eagerly i'm waiting for vlc

Absolutely

Primo

Finally... :)

Hope it support 512mb ram... Really excited.....

I think it will support devices with 512MB RAM as it's media player not a game that has a lot of HD Graphics in it.

VLC has always had a good product on Windows OS's

But whenever I installed VLC on my PC, the system performance will go down and can see many virus/malwares activities detected on my Antivirus. So I keep using Cyberlink Pro or Windows media player with multiple codecs.

That's not normal.

Sometimes VLC causes slow processing but it can be corrected on reinstalling windows...

Never had any issues you mentioned. But you can also try KMP player on your PC. It's a good one.

Beta beta everywhere..

At least it's beta than nothing

I see what you did there

What did he do?

Even I didn't know what he saw me doing?

Finally!

I'm really excited for this. Unfortunately, the windows 8 so hasn't seen many updated and if I remember right still doesn't even support multiple snap modes. Hopeful this will not be another zombie app. Still,I love VLC and this is a very good sign of the platform's maturity. Excited to get this!

I'm assuming it's because they're making a universal app, so they figure they don't have to support their current app much.

I sure hope so. That would be fantastic!

Will it support all the formats that the desktop version does ? If yes, then yaaa... M waiting for it so long :)

It should support 99% of them.

And what about 1% ¿

If that brings ogg support, I'm in!

Hope it works better than moliplayer at playing ogg files. I have complained to the developer who has ignored my queries and does not update the app

Man I've heard VLC is coming for windows phone for almost two years. Can't wait already

Yay!

Awwww yeah! Black people make the best apps! Can't wait!!! :D

That's racist

How can I be racist against whites by simply stating I like apps made by black developers?? I like Japanese movies over Chinese ones, but that doesn't make me racist either!

Do you mean his last name ? ;)

WTF? LOL.

That's really a great news for windows phone users. No need to convert videos anymore.

Or you could've just bought MoliPlayer Pro..

I think everyone doesn't buy paid apps because they can't afford them

Only MoliPlayer doesn't work half of the time... Looking forward to VLC

It will be the first complete and free video player for Windows Phone. Hopefully, it'll be a universal app.

Free? Really? Wooo...

VLC is free on Win/Win8 and other OS (android/IOS)
so yes it will be free ;)
 

VLC wasn't free for Windows RT. So please report some confirmation of it being free for windows phone.

It isnt even available for RT yet so not sure where you're getting that info from.

Actually, there's no Windows RT app, it's only available for Windows 8 and for free.

the normal for Win (.exe) is free
for Win8 https://www.windowscentral.com/e?link=https2F%2Fclick.linksynergy.co... is free so which one isn't free ?

There's no paid version.

Those one weren't released by VLC compnay though

VLC is an open source software program so like all other open source Projects it too is most likely to be Free

Hey isn't this an awesome movie player? If I remember correctly it plays anything you throw at it. As well as it has an audio booster built in. I hope the windows phone version comes with all features.

I hope so, if it didn't it should do it when the final version hit the store
 

I hope it will play rtmp live streams :-)

Yea, moliplayer can't do that

The Windows 8 version doesn't give me much confidence in this one.

You and me both.

+1320

You, You over there and me. Win8 App it's awful!

Still no Windows RT version... 

Exactly! They made a win 8 app version, but they can easily install the desktop version. It's the Win8 RT that really needs a proper mkv player!

WP is an ARM platform so that should mean RT isn't far off.

When the Win 8 version was released, the RT version was supposed to be "a couple of weeks away".

If i remember correctly i tried it on my Win8

The description descriptions it as a port for WinRT platform but it doesn't installon WinRT lol... That really needs VLC, not the desktop one.. and yes phone... Maybe it will work for both phone and RT

I thought it was out already..wat of dat one in the store

Oh the joy!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait!!!! :D

It should play every media file including .mkv and .flv etc , moreover it should be free (atleast
unlimited trial)

It will be free as per nigro's twitter account.

The developer should also give you a car, and let you stay at his house whenever you are in the neighbourhood too, right? While we're making demands of the guy. Also, you should go buy me lunch tomorrow, that'd be great.

He's paid to develop it thanks to kick starter

Apologies to the other poster then, my mistake.

Finally indeed

Hmm. This is surprising as it isn't even on WinRT yet.

It is available for WinRT aka Win8.x

No it's not, you can't install it on Windows RT (window 8 non pro)

Sorry. Meant Windows RT, not WinRT.

Hope kmplayer comes to windows phone. Because its the best player.

YES,YES,YES!

hell yeah exicited

Finally! This is awesome!

Woohooo...

Sure. Everything is "coming very soon" on WP.

Wat about mx player guys ??? ... I think they are still in sleep ...

if the quality of the win8 app (extremely crappy) is any indication, this beta will be terrible.

Yesssss!!! I'll waiting for

Waiting for it and also as a remote to desktop VLC ... Would be cooler if we get Firefox browser too

You just made me want something I didn't know I needed. Can you even get alternative browsers on win phone?

Of course you can. There is UC Browser and Nokia Browser. UC browser is very good, haven't tried Nokia browser though

Yay!! One of the best article in this week

That'll be cool.. That will be quite awesome app...

This is the best time for vlc as everybody is unhappy with Xbox music app.

Would love to see MX player though.....

+520

If they could offer the multiple file support for videos too ...then bye bye Moliplayer

Will it support DLNA also?

Cool

Great surprise. Eagerly waiting...

Finally! I've been waiting for this since I first heard of their plan to bring their app to Windows !

Yep

Wonderful. Seams, windows phone is sure to gain momentum as soona as wp8.1 will running on all the phones officially. Good to here that. Pretty exited.
Patience! Worth to wait....

Just don't be paid version and also don't be BETA forever

It's free
not sure about the beta tho

I had hoped that the VLC media player would come soon after it's release for Windows 8. It's better late than never.

Guys, do u all think that it will be preferred more than MOLI PLAYER??? ;) Opinions please... ;) :)

Meh ... MoliPLayer Pro is still very very good, VLC needs to be much better than MoliPlayer for me to make the switch. Even on the desktop, I prefer KLMCP over VLC and for music foobar2000 is the best prosumer media player. For those who want foobar2000 on WP, please go here: http://mobile.foobar2000.com/ 

Of course it will bcoz it will be available completely free. Although it should work as expected.

Link gives me a 404.

When WPCentral parses the link, it is removing the http ... testing: With HTTP: http://mobile.foobar2000.com Without HTTP: mobile.foobar2000.com

Very excited!!!

Good :)

Its one of the most wonderful news I could have heard..!

VLC bring it on

Does the windows 8 version work for arm yet

So we get VLC before iPhone users!?

Now transfer files without converting

Am excited too

That's awesome!!!.. Love it!!!!... :3

But please make quickly

Wow! I was already excited since it first made the news and now I'm very much excited...

Need mxplayer toooooo

Does anyone know if the developer has plans for Xbox? Imagine being able to play .MKV files without using workarounds!!!

Yesssss I just hope that it doesn't cost. All the good ones does

Nice!

Very excited... Waiting for very long time

Waiting for the app.. From the last December..

Hope the app works flawlessly, thats all i hope for...

Woohoo! This will help me convert more people!

This is lovely news! Finally I can ditch Xbox Music completely!

I am glad to hear this can't wait

This VLC player for streaming working very well but not free http://windowsphone.com/s?appId=2b27eb95-c86f-4989-8c81-3d4efa994654 I use it for streaming from VU+ Duo2 (Enigma2 satellite receiver) to Windows Phone Also can use to play media files from PC on Windows Phone.. To use, you must install VLC player to PC and set Web interface and password in Lua setting... and thats all. run VLC player on PC, start VLC on WP8 and connect to computer...  

Yes very exicted.......

Haha These people told the same previous month......its all rumours...

Is this going to come with a .txt file telling us all how much they hate Windows 8 and Windows Phone? Because for my kickstarter donation, all I have gotten is listening to their vocal leader bash, trash, and cry about the platform they took money to develop for. These guys may be extremely smart, but leave a lot to be desired in the attitude department.

Lol it's because they're Linux fanboys and they don't understand how Windows can do things without writing a bunch of boilerplate code.

FIinally! So happy to hear that!

Heard this news quite a lot of times.......

Got to make it better than moliplayer which is not really an easy thing to do

Happy about this news... Want it now

As a wrapper for Xbox music. Hell yeah.

Good news...but don't matter to me...I've got mp pro...

Great news!! But doesn't the stock player plays mkv & other files that were previously unsupported, even in Cyan update??

Don't think so...

Reading this article made my day. Very much excited.

Have to wait and see how the app turns out...

yeah I'm very excited and curious about it. and we need MX player it can zoom in and out while playing a video file

I hope it will be better then moli player. To play videos through moli player you need to transfer it to camera roll folder that is irritating. Hope vlc detects videos in which ever folder it is!

Yup..I excited about it...bczz windows phone must hv a player which plays most of video format like mkv n other

Looking forward to this although vlc for w8 wasnt that good. Just top slow and unattractive design.

Tears rolling out!! Emotional day for wp users!! :D :P

Too late

I wish it will be a free app

Sure, but if this one won't support that wide array of formats it's of nu use. If it does though, I can't wait for it to be on RT 8.1 as well.

Hurrayy!!

It's good news for windows phone users...I'm waiting for this apps

It will be amazing if it released with codec pack. Anyway it will be nice to see vlc on WP8

Finally will have a decent video player!

Watchout MoliPlayer devs. The king is coming.

Awesome

I just hope it supports low ram devices

Oh, that's great. A much needed app..

Finally....the vlc app is coming to wp n dats a gr8 news for d ones who hate Xbox music which am sure everybody does

Windows 8 app REALLY sucks! 

Great!! What about RT?

I am pretty much excited. Will it be freeware Keller? If yes, then it will take place of moli player.

I hate the word"soon"

Specially when Devs say it

hope so it will be free

It should be. It's an open source software. But yeah, being developed by an independent developer, there might be a price tag.

Yayyy... :D

Great, I really hope the music player will have a song search, will play by genre and folders and will have an eq plus lyrics.

Hope that they will launch it for free. Could be probably better that the native xbox.

Another beta app :D , been waiting for it long time now, glad to hear some good news

i hope there will be still using wp when all of the official app arrive

Sweet!!!!!!!!

What a awesome surprise for all windows phone users. I am waiting for the beta version.

After more than a year and still one month then we get beta oooh! Come on !!!!

Beta I'm hating that word. Its just an excuse now a days.

grt news for wp community...

Hurray!

burrraaahhhhh....
that's the news of the day.
eagerly waiting for the vlc mobile app.

They've been saying this forever

hope we get a free unlimited time version....no problem if the free version comes with ads...

"... Because of limitations of Windows phone......"

Yay! VLC at last ! But it will need some more work to surpass Moliplayer as the initial release might be riddled with bugs.

Mkv

That's the app I was waiting for. I don't have anything to crib for now except XBM

I hope it'll play video files too. If it does I'll be able to kill two birds with one stone.

I remember someone saying windows phone as a beta phone in a post few days back. Seems to be true :-) I too have a beta phone with Beta OS (8.1) and many beta apps lol

Be free please

B+
 

Good news. But it took so much time.

Yes!!!

Now that the app gap is narrowing down.... I still miss the shitty Citibank app :-)

Yes!!! I'll be in for the beta :D

What about an app for wp7.8?

Are u kidding me? I'm ecstatic. Although Vlc for windows 8.1 is crap

Great news!

Tbh, all the WP os needs is a decent video music player, vlc fills the space

Network url stream would be essential for me. Like the iOS and Android version has (even BETA). Allows me to stream my sports subscriptions that way!

If it can allow me to access my wtv/ms-dvr files on my whs11 then I might just try it. It might be nice if we could stream from a tv tuner to a phone

Dajeeee

I got very much excited after hearing..... Hope to c the app in store soon....

Omg we neeeeeeed this. So many formats for the power users! Flac and mkv support please!!!

Well it will be better if its plays video files......and am really tyred. Of windows phone not bringing out the actual release date of an app....like BBM now...they said it was going to be july...and now july is coming to an end...who knows wether the beta BBM app will be how its is...or rather the official BBM for windows phone will launch in july 2015...

We need it badly

Has vlc on windows stopped tone buggy? Installed it once before uninstalling 30 mins later. I hope they don't bring same mediocrity to wp

Vlc should be free and full version lets hope

Super excited Posted via Windows Phone Central App

The best news I've read in a loong time !! About time the kingpin made an appearance.... hopefully it plays all the formats, like the desktop version & is supported on low ram devices as well 

Yay! Been crossing my fingers for this for so long, they're permanently entwined by now!

That's great news, I just wish there was a way to choose/default which app to play video files stored on your phone or from the web. That's one feature I wish Windows Phone had...

Oh yeah, can't wait for the release...hopefully it beats Xbox music and doesn't take a fortune of specs to run it

F l_l < l<   YA...............but, i just paid for Moliplayer

Well... they didnt exactly nail the WIndows 8 version so.... im very skeptical.

Great news for media junkies!

Lol that name nigro

Waiting long long time for it.... Hope to get it soon

Will Microsoft allow third party apps like this one to stream music from the Xbox Music subscription service?

But didn't they open the API for everyone?

Omg Ms u rock and vlc will make WP a step high

Plz devs bring bck our old wp8 music+videos hub........ I have already a lumia 520 dat runs wp8.1..... The new wp8.1 is amazing........ Bt music & video experience r vry poor....... So i don't update my lumia 1320 with wp8.1........ Plz some one hlp me...... I m a true windows phone lover & dnt purchase any other phones..........

WP8.1 only? Booooo...

in store is user VLC version for WP7/8 but not free with trial... streaming working fine... http://windowsphone.com/s?appId=2b27eb95-c86f-4989-8c81-3d4efa994654 you must run VLC on computer to work (set Web interface and Lua password)... i stream video files without problem...   

It's interesting the devs of MX player never contemplate bringing their app to windows phone....I really miss BSPlayer on andoid but I can't go back to my huawei Ascend G700 cuz my 1520 with 8.1 dev preview rocks!!!!

Yea no going back, sick of non innovative Android

bout time, it should play .mkv for fansubs.

This is a great new coming to windows fan

I like Moliplayer just fine.. VLC is way too late really..

look this: http://windowsphone.com/s?appId=2b27eb95-c86f-4989-8c81-3d4efa994654 - unfortunately is pay but have trial for test... you must run VLC on computer to work (set Web interface and Lua password)... i stream video files without problem to WP... 

Having such a big name like vlc in WP platform is a good thing, the most important over releasing is maintaining the app using users feedback.

This would be awesome.. I have been waiting for this app ever since I bought into windows phone :)

It's not video player but a audio player alternate to Xbox music....

Puff, puff give. I wonder if it will have no better playback then what Microsoft already supports on WP.  In that case what would be the point?

Anything that helps me avoid the dreadful Xbox music is an angel sent from heaven.

VLC on Windows 8 is a big [bugged] piece of sh#t

Woo hoo

Although out of context, but my Lumia 925 eats too much of battery after getting official wp8.1 in India. Battery lasts only for 6 hours.
Any suggestion?

Thats a new one "very" soon.

Hope it supports FLAC, MKV, and AVI.

I suspect it will support AVI. Flac, MKV, MP4 is a crap shoot.

Unlike the makers of the Xbox music/video POS, the guy behind VLC can actually be proud of himself and his code. Hell he may even be recognized by his family. What I want is an inside article on how on earth MS failed so utterly miserably with the music and video players. It would make an excellent anti-corporation documentary. All the best to VLCWP!

Awesome! Finally all you porn torrent downloaders will be able to watch your files straight on your phone without the need to give your PC a virus!! LMFAO!!

Windows RT plz

Vlc is by far the best desktop media app. Great news

This is amazing news but I really want RealPlayer cloud

Mkv? And I was just about to buy moliplayer pro, lol

Cant wait anymore. Hurry up, plz

Thanks app writer!

Finally!

Best of the best news. I love VLC - nothing best like VLC

Will wait for the exciting feature :)

Wish it comes for free!

Yes , vlc is the best media player specially for windows.
Waiting eagerly for vlc to come on wp f*** moli player

I personally do not watch much media > than 15 mins at a time on my phone (Lumia 920). I leave that for my surface 2.

happy to hear this!

Finally!!!!! Waiting for its release. 

I hope it's as good as the desktop app, I don't like the tab version, I find the native music app and press play video to be better apps.

Did anyone have used archos video player on Android.. Its interface is awesome, by seeing the vlc player screenshot I guess it would be similar to it showing movie poster, and other info .. Way to go wp.

I guess it will be free or low priced.
They should make it work ok 512mb phones too..

Over hyped for Windows, much prefer Potplayer, but I guess it's a good thing that another media player comes to WP.

Was looking for vlc since I bought the Lumia... Great

Fuck yeah. Awesome apps coming to WP.^_^ this.

What happened to the windows RT version

Hell yeah! My 930 doesn't support file formats that I need for Uni and VLC should be able to support them :)

Win 8 users den...

We are waiting for this player its rock on desktop plz bring us available as early as possible

Waiting for a long time

2 Months Passed But No Update About VLC MediaPlayer.... :(
