Update: As of 6th October, Apple have approved the update which should sort this issue and a handful of other minor problems. Please make sure you update to 4.01.
Apple just approved VLC Streamer 4, which is a massive redesign, and which fully supports iOS8 and the new devices.
Unfortunately, there are a couple of bugs.
The main one is that if you’re using a password on your helper, then if you can’t enter a new password. (If your old password is saved, that should continue working).
I’ll submit a fix today (4 Oct) and request an expedited review. Apple are swamped at the moment though, so this may take a while.
In the meantime, the only workaround is to turn off the password on your helper, though I understand that isn’t appropriate for everyone.
The other bug is the thoroughly ugly green background on the title in the main movie list (on iPhones only). I just want to assure you that this is an error rather than terrible taste…
my apologies for the inconvenience – I’ll get a fix out asap.
–update: 5th Oct
I submitted the fix on the 4th, and Apple have approved the expedited review request, so that should reduce the waiting time.
