Popular media player just got betterWhen it comes to watching videos on your PC, there are a number of media players out there that can get the job done. But one of the more popular software happens to be VLC Media Player. The open source video player is popular due to its ability to play all kinds of file formats and its versatility (check out our editorial about getting the most out of VLC). Today, VLC Media Player 2.2.0 was released and includes a selection of new feature, fixes, and mobile support.
According to the press release, the new update is the result of over one year of volunteer work that fixes thousands of bugs and increases the scope of formats supported. In addition to the PC version of the software, new versions of VLC for iOS, Android, Android TV, WinRT, Windows RT, and Windows Phone were released at the same time.
One new feature for the PC version is the ability to resume playback that was, until now, only available on mobile versions. Users can now open a video file, which they were watching previously, and there will be a small toolbar below the VLC menu with an option to resume where the user left off.
The new version also includes improved compatibility for Ogg, MP4, and WMV files and experimental support for interactive menus of BluRays.
For a full list of new features and improvements, be sure to check out the official website.
