VLC Remote – Auto resume.
Towards the end of 2014, I added a feature in VLC Remote to auto-save your position in a movie, and restart at the same place if you re-loaded that movie. Since then, VLC have built the same feature into VLC itself. It doesn’t make sense for the remote to be battling VLC – so I’ll
Mac OS Developers – Easily add Right-Click actions.
Right Click Booster makes it really easy for developers to add their own Right-Click actions. OSX 10.10 allows developers to build FinderSync extensions. These allow you to add right.click (or cmd+click) actions within the finder. However – you can only do this with App-Store apps, and building finder-sync extensions is a massive pita. Right Click

VLC 2.2 crash when browsing drives (fixed in VLC 2.2.1)
Update – the VLC team have fixed this bug in VLC 2.2.1. You can get the latest VLC from http://videolan.org — There is a bug in VLC 2.2 which causes a crash in some circumstances when you try to browse the drives list on a Windows machine. This causes vlc itself to crash. The vlc team
VLC Streamer has been removed from the Google Play store. Hopefully this is temporary…
Last night (19th March) I got two emails from the Google Play store informing me that VLC Streamer had been removed from the store for breaching store rules. No warning was given before removing VLC Streamer. The email didn’t give much detail as to what exactly the concern was – and my hope is that it
