Things always break when there is a new version of iOS8, and this version has more changes than most.
I have been working on a huge rebuild of VLC Streamer which adds a bundle of new features and completely revamps the UI. Amongst other things, this makes it much easier to transfer movies through iTunes, and lets you tag movies to arrange them into groups/folders.
I had hoped to release this as a beta using Apple’s new TestFlight system. This is an excellent new system which promises to allow up to 1000 beta testers to try new apps before they are fully released. I had hoped this would mean that the new version got a thorough test, and I could fix anything I missed before pushing the update to everyone.
Unfortunately, my plans have been halted by the fact that Apple haven’t enabled this functionality yet.
This means that I need to wait for an Apple review before the new version goes live. That’s likely to take 5-10 days.
In the meantime, if you’re interested in signing up to be a beta tester when Apple does release the new system, please join the mailing list here:
