A few days ago they asked me about an application to play any video format on the iPhone. Surely if they asked you the same question you would answer that the best and only application that allows us to do it without problems is VLCWell, VLC allows you to play any type of content as long as it does not have the AC3 format, one of the reasons, along with others for license use problems, why this application was out of the App Store for more or less a year . Fortunately, it came back updating itself again and is currently the only application that allows us to reproduce almost any format, at least the most used.
VLC is working on its version for Apple TV and to speed up the arrival to this device, the guys at VLC have opened a beta tester program so that users can subscribe and test the application before its official arrival in the Apple TV application store. VLC allows us to play content directly and without the need to download it directly from Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive and Box, but it also allows us to play the music that we have stored in the different clouds with which it is compatible.
What's more, VLC also allows us to reproduce the content of our Plex server, without having to use the official application, which costs 4,99 euros and was updated last week to be compatible with the new Apple TV, and which we already told you about in Actualidad iPhone. If you want to help the developers you can stop by the following link and sign up to see if you are lucky and become part of the beta testers program of this fabulous application. [UPDATED] Just before publishing this article, the avalanche of users who have subscribed has exceeded the available places. What we do not believe that the application allows us is to copy files directly to Apple TV to play it, as if we can do it on devices with iOS.
