VLC media player for Windows Phone. It's coming. We're excited, and judging by the amount of interest we've seen from you guys over this, you're excited as well. After getting the media player working on ARM-based hardware last week, the VideoLAN team is currently getting the app certified for Windows Phone 8, with a tentative launch date scheduled for next week.
That's according to Thomas Nigro, who had this to say on Twitter:
Yes, VLC release for WP should be next week, hopefully.
— Thomas Nigro (@ThomasNigro) November 14, 2014Here's hoping the team does not encounter any more "unforeseen delays." How many of you are looking forward to the imminent launch of the media player?

Yeah when come sir store today
It's been nearly one week now :(
When are we gonna see it?
LOL all you gullible naive guys and girls did not realize that in the end of next month it will be 2 YEARS anniversary (yes, 2 years), since these french guys promise "....its coming next week" to the community.
Lol...
Wow what a nice player..... With Best features...... It was in my dream actually
But where is it in real world ?
Hoping for no more delays...
Week is about to be dead, where is VLC?
What happened? Week is almost over..
Still waiting
Iam waiting
Anyone got it

The long wait is almost over now. Cheers VideoLAN!
Hopefully it will play movies from my OneDrive.
Godspeed .....VLC....and RIP
that it's real great news. I haven't been able to play my flv files. Along with many others.
or else to hell with Xbox Video
I just hope this means we're a step closer to getting VLC on RT devices - that's what I'm waiting for.
I am wildly waiting for you vlc
Come soon
Aaaahhhhhhaaaaaa
Windows phone need such app
That's indeed a good news
I am Waiting.....!
Equalizer plz.... Else it's kinda useless for me
Hope it comes with a better interface! Not scrollboard!
Long awaited!!!! Hope the WP version of VLC is awesome and not a dud like Opera Mini for WP.
Hopefully, it shouldn't be bad betas like live lock screen, it should be full version, as they took years to develop.
Good to hear. I've been waiting to hear this for a while. I am going to put so much anime' on my phone I am not going to get any work done.
I hope this app will better work than the Windows 8 app for x86... This one is also completely buggy and the performance is also "not the best"!
Really good news :)!!!
1080p mkv on WP is finally happening
I've been using moliplayer its enough for me
Just out of curiosity, what are you guys using a video app for? Are you really watching videos on your phones, or am I missing something :)
yyeeeessss!!!!! i've been waiting for this to come! can't wait!!
I cannot forqin wait!
I hope somebody make a popcorn time app too, that would be awesome!
Honestly I don't expect much from this app due to limitations of WP OS
Me
The reason I love vlc is it will play anything, I mean anything, whatever the format, and it won't bother you with having to download additional codecs, etc.
Finally we are grateful
Wohooooooooo:)
Waiting desperately.
Made it free pls...don't disappoint me and all users... like moliplayer
CCPlayer is also good try it
M. K. V. :D
Finally
Fingers crossed
Yeeeesssss!!!
Mkv on windows phone???
Ahh yeah! VLC is the mad notes... I can't wait. It's going on my phone!
Hope it will be free.. Most of the developers have a hobby of giving apps & games paid in WP while it's free in android & ios... So pls don't hurt us....
On Xbox One too? Maybe :D
https://twitter.com/ThomasNigro/status/533287865321787392
so i have a lot of tv recordings i have transferred to Onedrive, would it be able to stream .m2ts files from onedrive or would they have to be downloaded?
Waiting hardly
Please make it universal apps!! :D
News is great but make sure thy don't deny the 512MB devices... And then delay for months just like flip board!
I m so excited,now it's just difficult to wait for another week.VLC I m waiting for u...
Mkv hype !!!!!
I'm worried
Nice!!! About time!!!!
Does it work it work on my BA 512 MB machine? If so bring it on and ms move over with your Xbox music & video.
Moliplayer has never failed to play anything for me.. VLC is a couple of years too late
Same here just commented the same comment.
//Yes, VLC release for WP should be next week, hopefully.//
Ah.. ther's the catch..
It's about time, the default player sucks. It took them this long to get things working.
Hope it is not shitty like the metro win8 version.
VLC is known to be the best to play each and every media file we find these days and have been using it in PC since a long time. While in my phone I'm using Moli player Pro which plays almost all kinda media files I get in phone. Besides it supports Wi-Fi transfer too to get videos from PC to phone in just matter of seconds. Also bunch of features like swipe on screen to control volume, adjust brightness, split screen playlist etc.
Waiting to see how VLC is thing to fascinate us with their features. :)
~ A delighted Windowsphone user
What is it good for?
Oooh...seems like an eternity not seeing vlc on mobile...but still not too late...so it will launch as a beta?? Because the Android version still is a beta
May give it a try once one of my devices get wp8.1 hope It'll support accessing my hdhomerun tuner
Awesome!
Yes..finally..... :)
Awesome can't wait.
Oh finally, I want the Video app to get off of my phone. Hahah
Omg thank u guys videolan
If you want Moli player free even you are installing it first time click on Try it wait for fifteen days without opening and after 15 days uninstall it and reinstall it out will be . I'm using like this only since from 8 months
Holy Christ windows 10 and now VLC
What about for Windows RT?
Yeeeehaaaaa
Hope that wont be VLC media player beta.
I didn't read the article and directly wanted to go to the download link... This shows how excited I am!! Hope it comes soon.. But inside I feel that it will be not that perfect as MoliPlayer...
Wat laga Diya moli player ko
Can't wait to test it on my 1020 :)
i was excited to see the whole news wishing it ll be like "VLC for Windows Phone is now available" but hey i can wait 1-2 weeks or if its wanted 1-2 months :)
Hope it allows all the features and zoom in and out in videos
Its good news...bt too late...
eagerly awaiting!!!
Waiting....Waiting..... Waiting.... Wasting....Wasting... Wasting...TIME from past 3 months...!!
Hope! It will support FLV and MKV format
For now, just 2 words : Can't wait!
On release day: Finally!!!
I hope its faster than moli only
WOW WOW WOW................ :) Finally
Title should be vlc player for wp 8.1 . I think it is not compatible with wp8
It's too long for app list
Very glad to know this...!!!!! Love to get VLC in WP
beta still?
Will it be freee?
?
No. Its gonna cost 1000₹. /s
Ofc its gonna be free... -_-
VLC Media Player is open-source, so it will be free.
I also looking forward for the app,lets see.
I'm waiting!!
Will definitely come with RT version! If VLC team ignore Universal App, they will be really stupid! See how Rudy built universal app and benefit from it
I prefer streaming through Plex. :)
i like VLC for its ability to play almost anything
Too late really. Let's see what special features it offers. Now I have already equipped with MoliPlayer Pro & Plex. Pretty happy with the combination so far.
Why is there a single developer? Asking just for info.
Hoping it can play folders from across the network and play to DLNA devices. Hopefully with easy way to scan a video and recently played list and resume feature.
Good to hear but what about for Windows 8 or 10??
Wow
Hurrah!
Finally
Is it free or????
Hopefully they don´t forget the RT version - I really can´t see what I would use the WP version for?
5" screen isent made for long time video
I watched The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (BRRip.Yify) on my phone. No problems whatsoever.
App should be clean .... Then the long wait will worth
Damn good news
Fucking awesome!
Sweet
Finally after long long wait
Lets hope they don't abandon it after launch and actually maintain it
I can't imagine why they would. They've maintained their Windows app pretty well and the main reason this is getting developed is because the head developer is a huge Windows phone fan boy who's sold reason for developing the app would be so he can have it on his phone.
I pledged to the VLC kickstarter campaign back in 2012. This is utterly pathetic. Even if the app is great, it will be utterly pathetic. It's taken them longer to release this than completely random apps like Moliplayer took, and they had a bloomin' kickstarter campaign!
Rubbish.
Except this will be a Universal app, unlike Moliplayer, who will have to completely rewrite their code to make a Universal app. Don't worry, you've invested in the future :D
So what's the hype for VLC when Moliplayer was released a year ago? And it does exactly the same thing. Just because VLC will be free? I've been using Moliplayer without any of the issues people having been ranting about. I personally feel VLC is way too late the game. Seems pointless now.
+630
+520
Finally the rock is coming back to wrestlemania ^_^
Based on the time it took alone, I expect VLC will have few issues.
vary vary X site ted! :D
Will it be free ???
Waiting for long tym... Finally... Excited....
VLC=Best media player out there! I have it on all my PC's, even my PC at work. Plays anything you throw at it. Can't wait to have it on WP.
Finally a free useful media player unlike moliplayer pro.....
Oh yeah finally VLC on next week!!
Not me.
Goood!!!!!
Waiting...... Always best media player..... I hope it supports all video formats.....
Great
VLC and mpv
Wow an exciting news....... I am damn happy..
Can't wait
looking it for xbox music replacement. i hope it has less bugs. Thomas Nigro will be there hearing our feedback always
Hope it comes without advertisement ;)
I'm excited :D
Hope it's not beta:D
The developers said that they could make the app available two months ago but full of bugs and in beta , they said that when it comes out it'll be the same as other OS's app
I always tip good news ;) :P
That sure is the case. Thanks!
Welcome !
Guardian of the skies updated(beta on request)..
Have you requested..
Malkawi hala beek ;)
Hope its a good competitor for moliplayer as it is only one in the competition.. Most important thing is that it should be free. Else no point waiting for it so long
Moli player is shit. Doesn't show any video on my lumia 925. Have to move all videos to camera roll hope VLC doesn't work the same way.
No, Moliplayer shows all my porn stored in SD.
Never failed me once. Audio, video, never failed.
xbox video shows them all with mine.
'Course it does. ;)
Your phone is shit. Moliplayer is fine. Maybe you chose the welfare free version. That's what you get if you did.
I have purchased moliplayer pro. Everytime i have to move all my videos to camera roll. I hope vlc doesn't work the same way.
That is very good news... Coz xbox video Is a load of shit... And hope is not a shit app like the one for windows 8..
Videos received through whatsapp don't show up in xbox videos
Have you tried moving them to the videos folder inside the files (native) app? Not sure, but give a try. Don't know about extensions though.
Yea i moved all those videos to video folder still no solution. Even moliplayer pro is shit. Doesn't show up videos from any other folder. Need to move videos to camera roll hope vlc doesn't work the same way
you are totally wrong .... moliplayer shows videos from all folders .... video, camera roll, WhatsApp and all other folders with no problem ....and plays awesomely,i have 4.67 GB The Avengers movie in 1080p.... and it plays smoothly.... fast forward and backward is also smooth..... only problem is moliplayer's user interface, so simple.... that's why i am eagerly waiting for VLC
Totally wrong? Consider the subject to be Xbox Video, not Molip. Anyway, thanks for the off topic advice. Didn't know about this. Cheers!
If u save your videos on SD card, it will show up. For those phones without SD card slot(like mine), they will have to put the videos in the camera roll folder
Yup, the W8 is garbage pain and simple.
People keep saying that this is finally a replacement to XBox video. Have you never tried Moliplayer HD? It plays almost all video formats you throw at it!
It can't properly display content full-screen, for one.
You mean Moliplayer pro..
after the latest xbox video update, the app is simply dead, loading to infinity. ( 630 India )
Have you tried playing it in flight mode.. Worked for me...
Anyways no need for that after VLC comes..
It keeps checking for new releases or something on xbox video. That's y. If u keep your phone in flight mode. It will load faster since there is no connection to check for new things.
The wait is finally over!!!! ... Oh wait.
Hoping it can play 1080p videos at full-resolution, as most other video players play 1080p at what seems like 540p. Xbox Video is fairly trash for personal video, but at least plays full resolution.
Hoping for proper 1080p playback in VLC! Could finally make use of the 1520's massive screen!
No use we have moliplayer pro.Too late vlc.
VLC is free and ad-free... And VLC is kinda more famous than Moliplayer pro...
Maybe late, but not at all useless...
It's better to have good things late than worst things in time.
Will it be a universal app?
Can't wait ^^
Finally! Want to have it for WebM files and MKV.
real relief news for those who haven't purchased moliplayer yet....
Free version of moliplayer is also available.
I got Moliplayer for free :D
How ?? Are you using moliplayer pro ?
Yes I'm using Moliplayer Pro. It was a daily steal. The app was offered for free for a short period of time. I was lucky enough to catch the promotion.
Oh that's great.. Did you ever try jailbreak in your Lumia phone ?
