User reviews

If I wanted to be taken advantage of by greedy practices I’d subscribe to Disney plus.

It’s a great piece of software designed by greedy little goblins. You’d have to be insane to pay $5.99/mo because these goblins hold a 6th of your screen hostage You can do the same thing for free and without an artificial ad in the VLC app if you know what you are doing.

Simply doesn’t work

Installed the helper app on my MacBook. Both iPad and MacBook are on same network. The app just gets stuck on scanning for visible computers and can’t find anything. Deleted the app pretty quickly after that.

Buffering…. Buffering… Buffering…

I have 100Mbps down, 40Mbps up, am using the same wifi connection at home on the same network and every time the video takes over a minute to start playing and it keeps stopping to buffer constantly. I’m only using 1080p quality and it’s still slower than a Monday at work with a hangover. Won’t be subbing, will find a different app for my streaming. App deleted.

Thank you for this app!

While the automatic connection doesn’t always work, this is such a useful app for me! I’m certainly glad you made it and I hope it continues to survive. Particularly, it’s great to be able to watch my DVD’s on my iPad. I also appreciate that there was careful effort put into writing the various instructions on the site.

FAQ

What does VLC Streamer do?

VLC Streamer allows you to stream movies and TV shows directly from your computer to your iPhone, iPod, or iPad. It eliminates the need for complex conversion processes or manually transferring files to your device.

What are the key features of VLC Streamer?

Key features include streaming over Wi-Fi directly from your computer, browsing local drives and Windows network shares via a free helper app, customizable gesture controls, support for multiple resolutions and streaming quality levels, and live video streaming after a short processing time.

How much does VLC Streamer cost?

The app is supported by an auto-renewing annual subscription called 'VLC Streamer Annual Subscription'. This subscription removes ads and unlocks all functions, including the ability to download movies to your device. Payment is charged to your iTunes Account.

What are the system requirements for VLC Streamer?

VLC Streamer requires a helper app to run on your Mac or PC (supporting Windows Vista and above, and Mac OS 10.7 and above). It is designed to work on your local network and does not play DRM-protected videos, such as those from the iTunes store.

Can I watch any video file with VLC Streamer?

VLC Streamer can play virtually any video format you throw at it, similar to the original VLC player. However, it cannot convert everything, so it's recommended to try the free version first if you have doubts about specific file formats.
