VideoLAN recently revealed information about the upcoming VLC media Player 4.0 in one first presentation held at FOSDEM 2019.
VLC Media Player 4.0 will be the next major release of the application and will bring new and improved features. But according to the company, support for older operating systems will be reduced.
In short, VLC 4.0 will no longer support operating systems Windows XP or Vista, Mac OS X 10.10 or earlier, Android 4.2 or earlier, and iOS 8 or earlier.
VideoLAN has released a preview version of the app for those who want to try it out. Before downloading the new version it is a good idea to think again as this is a preview version. This means that it is under development and can present to you errors, missing features and many other unpleasant ones.
Η νέα εφαρμογή VLC Media Player 4.0 θα έρθει με πολλές αλλαγές στην εμφάνιση, αλλαγές στην αρχιτεκτονική εξόδου βίντεο, τη βιβλιοθήκη πολυμέσων, λίστες αναπαραγωγής κλπ. Θα υποστηρίζει virtual reality, 3D and more.
The multimedia library used in the Android version of VLC will come in both desktop and iOS versions.
Features will include an index sound and video, playlist support and music and video sharing support.
