Si plex This week announced plans to build an app for the new Apple TV, developers of the popular app's media player software VLC, have announced that they too are planning to support the new Apple TV. Although details about the app are scant at this point, the VLC team announced on their blog that they have started work on VLCKit for tvOS.
"Some pieces of code are going to be merged to build VLCKit for the new tvOS" you can read it in his blog post. "It is very recent, but we have video playback and it is not clear at this time how VLC will be implemented on the new Apple TV". On iOS, VLC allows the playback of a large variety of different movie formats. Files can be synced between services like Dropbox, iCloud Drive, iTunes, GDrive, and others. In the case of VLC on the new Apple TV this will be able to play The same wide variety of file types as its Mac and iOS counterparts, this will make VLC one of the most popular applications for the Apple TV 4 almost certainly.
Yesterday we told you that plex It would also be compatible with the new Apple TV, which is one of the best streaming applications. The current Apple TV doesn't support Plex officially, only if we jailbreak the device, and the Apple TV 3 does not support jailbreak. Both VLC and Plex have been cautious when it comes to giving a departure date And at this point, I don't know if these developers will have time to have it available when the new Apple TV launches in late October.
