When just a week ago Apple officially launched the new Apple TV with its own application and game store, little by little, the store is filling with applications and developers are also slowly but surely adapting their applications for this device. Surely you use the VLC player for OS X, which allows us to view any type of content on our Mac. This application, which was out of the Apple application store for iOS approximately for a year for problems with licenses that I used without going through the box, but who came back a few months ago, is looking for beta testers to start testing VLC for Apple TV.
The latest version of VLC for iOS allows us to play content directly from Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive and Box in addition to supporting almost all the video and audio formats currently used except the AC3 format. The VLC version will be an almost identical copy of the iOS version, supporting the same formats and the ability to reproduce content from different clouds where we have accounts. Another application to play content that has been quickly updated for Apple TV, has been Plex, which arrived on the Apple TV App Store last week and allows us to play the content of our Mac on Apple TV.
VLC for iOS too allows us to reproduce the content stored on our Mac with the Plex server software, in case we do not want to go through the box, although it is worth paying for Plex for all the information it offers us about the movies and series that we have stored on our Mac. If you are interested in being part of the VLC beta tester program for the new Apple TV, you can stop by the following linkLet's see if you are lucky and you are one of those we chose to be able to try the best free video player for any device, regardless of the operating system where it is installed, since it is compatible with all platforms and mobile operating systems on the market.
