VLC Streamer

Great for streaming home videos on your private home network. No delay and great video quality

I have a 1GB small 5port switch connected to a Ubiquity Unifi Pro access points. I have streamed 3 large movie files and works without a hiccup. Please note when I was using my WAN modem with built In WiFi provided by my ISP, it would be very inconsistent and to many crashes. It was once I invested in a unifi WiFi, that was life changing. I will try with other video formats and stress test it.

I like this app but it does a very bad job streaming Windows Media Video files.<br/>The sound lags behind the video by several seconds.<br/>You see people moving their lips and the sound comes later on. This is very annoying.<br/>They don’t seem to want or can’t fix this bug cause I brought it to their attention a year ago.

I’ve used VLC Streamer for years and it has worked great, aside from a recent crash issue that they resolved very quickly.

This is the best streaming app in terms of functionality I’ve found on iPhone. GoodPlayer, “real” VLC, etc have interesting features and potentially easier setup but get bogged down with weird buffering problems, or bizarre interface choices. VLC streamer works way more often than others and it has great interface customization <br/><br/>Search can be a bit iffy if your library gets large, but the tagging system is solid. <br/>Would love to see search work with larger libraries (or for the keyboard to dismiss reliably) but again it’s a trivial problem. <br/><br/>The need to preprocess videos is a small price for them to reliably work on the phone and the access control via a simple password is helpful. <br/><br/>Bottom line: it works!

Needs better zoom options for XS Max

Need to be able to adjust font size

I’m a grandma. I believe Techno-dinosaur is the correct term. I don’t know what this app does but I bought it to thank the developers for all the times I’ve enjoyed using vlc. I’ll ask my seven year old grandson to show me how to use it.
