The VLC video player is one of the best desktop players that we can currently find on the market, but its version for mobile devices leaves a lot to be desired, since it is not capable of playing AC3 content, which greatly limits its use. all at present where many are the video files that are in this format. Infuse Pro is the best application that we can find on the market today that allows us to reproduce this type of format locally no compatibility issues, but it costs 9,99 euros.
But if what we really want is to play content via streaming on our device without having to copy the content on it, one of the best applications on the market is VLC Streamer, an application is priced at 2,99 euros and for a limited time we can download completely free from the link that you left at the end of the article.
VLC Streamer allows us to play our favorite series and movies stored on our computer directly on our iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. It is not necessary to convert the files to any other format, or transfer the files, just have your computer turned on, be it PC or Mac. To do this, we just have to install a small application that will scan our hard drive for movies.
VLC Streamer is compatible with a multitude of resolutions and different streaming qualities to be able to adjust the one that best suits our equipment on our device. Plus also allows us to customize gestures to control playback, it is compatible with AirPlay and for exceptional cases it also allows us to directly transfer the playback content to our device, if we plan to go on a trip and want to be entertained along the way.
VLC Streamer is compatible with the Apple Watch, with which we can control the playback of the content, you want at least iOS 7.1 or higher and it is compatible with the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. The only limitation of this application cannot play content protected by DRM, since in the last update that the application received, a couple of days ago, support for AC-3 and E-AC-3 was added.

Thanks, I'll try.
It works very well even with hard drives connected to the computer. You can access them from the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch application.
Hello,
That that the VLC is not compatible with AC3 is a bit… wrong…. Your article from this May:
https://www.actualidadiphone.com/vlc-compatible-ac3/
What's more, I have it installed and I would swear that it IS compatible with AC3 today
I tried it the other day and it did not play videos in AC3 format and that is supposed to be already compatible. The problem with these codecs is that you have to pay money that the application can offer them and therefore all the apps that offer it are paid.
Thanks I'll buy it if it comes in handy in the library
I just checked that VLC in its latest version if it plays AC3. Of course, from IOS 9.3 onwards and vlc 2.7.8
I don't know if it was apple that paid for the codec in ios 9.3 ... I don't know that anymore, but it is true that vlc already plays it without problems.
regards
