Leave a Review VLC Streamer Pro
Streamer Pro is Great but Helper App on Mac Crashes
VLC Streamer Helper (both versions 5.25 and 5.12) crash during conversion process on Mac. This seems to be a recent development (within last three months).
MacOS 14.3.1 (Sonoma).1BTFLBOY
A fantastic app
This is a fantastic app on so many levels - it does far more than I expectedWaendel
Cannot load files or open them
This vlc is inscrutable on the ipad. I see none of the menus shown in the windows version. I cannot open files if i want to, unless the playvlc comes up for some for some reason i cannot figure out.gregory of qiddiya
Great app, but some bugs
From time to time the app won’t airplay from my iPhone 12 on iOS 14.6 to my Apple TV 3rd gen, software version 7.8.
Not sure if this is because phones new compared to the tv.
I can’t remember what seems to bork it, but the only way to fix it is to reinstall the app.Bikemandem
Still the best, if sometimes flawed
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
Search can be a bit iffy if your library gets large, but the tagging system is solid.
Would love to see search work with larger libraries (or for the keyboard to dismiss reliably) but again it’s a trivial problem.
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.
Bottom line: it works!Show less1-800-Brendie
Customer Support is Non-responsive
Customer support won’t answer email. Frustrating app and service. When this streamer “converts” files to stream it creates a redundant file somewhere on the C: drive. This causes one movie to take up twice the amount of space. The reason we’re emailing them is to find out where the converted files are going, as we can’t find them other-than the “app-roaming” folder which seems like the converted files are stuck in limbo and can’t figure out why the streamer is doing this. Hobbyist Software will not respond to this issue via email.Show lessa dude lebowski
Museum app
App does not work as a standalone iOS VLC app. It requires a pc/mac host to function. Not even close to feature dense as the real free to download open source and buggy vlc player currently on the store.AppReviewer615
Worth Going Pro
I rarely spring for the pro version of any free app, even when cheap, but this one is totally deserving and worth it.Eden Cross
Works smooth with MPEG4 files over Unifi WiFi.
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.Show lessN4RP
