VLC Streamer App Reviews

I downloaded and tried this app Downloaded the pc helper portion The idea is great but the execution is flimsy You must have wifi for this app to work I dont know how close you have to be to your computer Its easy to use You simply find a movie on your computer or harddrive and play it I have a decent computer and buffering one movie takes a good majority of your cpu power The quality of the movies are okay at best, thats where the negativity comes from Unless you want to spend and entire day "converting" or "uploading" your entire movie collection to the computer app helper then youre going to just find a movie and click play and itll buffer as you go The problem is the movie video quality CONSTANTLY glitches out as it buffers The movie itself doesnt stop or pause (with mine at least) the video just frequently will pause to lag behind while the sound plays smoothly Also on the free version a bunch of your screen is cut off and filled with advertisement This app is cool but could be a hell of alot better

Ive been waiting for this function for years and was excited to find it. However so far Im a little bummed cuz its very slow. I have a 45mbps connection so I dont think its on my end. Ive been waiting an hour to get my movie processed. Its kinda buggy too. Idk maybe its not set up right.

This is an amazing app! It plays mkv videos on the iPad! Only problem is it glitches way too often. I would definitely buy the full app if the bugs were fixed

VLC used to to work pretty good with raw transport stream HD video. The latest version displays the following message and only plays the video: Codec not supported: VLC could not decide the format "a52" (A52 Audio (aka AC3)). Please fix. This used to work.

I really like the app its very easy to use I can easily put my videos. I definitely recommend this app

Version 4.12 worked the best. V4.20 had issues but was bearable on my ipad 4th gen on iOS 6.1.2 where it would lose my place in a movie unless I gracefully shut down the app every time. And the latest 4.25 version has fully stopped working. Reinstalling and restarting my ipad makes no difference as the app tries to start then instantly crashes every time. I wish I backed up my ipad locally so I could roll back to an old version :( hope the developer can fix this.

This program simply converts your video file into several hundred .TS files, then copies it over your wifi in small chunks. The conversion process takes a long time, and doubles the amount of file space your video takes up. If thats what its going to do, Id rather use handbrake to convert more efficiently. If Im converting anyways, then I didnt really need VLCstreamer in the first place.

Hope this vlc blows my mind for my friends jack call him 8182828289 call him girls

The way it works is you download a program on your desktop, drag and drop the movies you want to stream to your IPhone, it converts the movies very quickly in iPhone compatible format. Then you use your app to choose the movies you want to stream. No bugs, no issues, fast setup, very reliable. Free version shows a ad at the bottom of your movie. I think the $2 to remove them on the full version is worth it.

And cannot close chrome until I chose end task.

5 stars! Great app with great functionality.

I use this app everyday. But suddenly no video today. Only audio. Is something wrong? What happened?

I had high hopes for this app, but its just ruining the VLC name, in my opinion. Always was wonky with its best feature, streaming media from Box and Google Drive, but lately I cant log into the latter at all. Complicated to do anything else with it, and frankly a pain in the a--. Mkv subtitles never worked, either. Just a nuisance at this point. Ill stick to emailing my personal videos to share them, or watching on my PS3. Not worth the hassle.

A+. Got an email from the developer, Rob to see if I got it all set up ok. Awesome.

If you have the need to stream from a home Media center, this is an option worth checking out. Its simple, clean and the paid version offers much more functionality. I primarily use it to stream recorded TV from my windows media center to an iphone or ipad. So far its been fantastic. There have been a few hiccups but they are fixed fairly quickly as long as they are reported on their support channel. Would recommend

If possible, could you add a feature to reverse PAL speedup? Otherwise its great
