VLC Hits the Device Market

Posted by timothy on from the long-time-coming dept.

JoeBorn writes "VideoLAN has long been known as a mature open source project for video playback and transcoding on the PC. Now, Neuros and Texas Instruments have sponsored a port of VLC to their next generation open set-top box. The idea is to allow developers to easily create interesting plug-ins for recording and transcoding applications for the set-top box which will automate functions previously requiring a PC, like formating recordings for a portable player or streaming to another device on the LAN or the Internet, etc."

    Vlc is a great freeware. The only problem is : 1- Bad basic skin ( I never seen a so poor skin before VLC ) 2- Bad support of some subtitles ;(

    Aside from the troll on line 1, the rest of this post is valid.

    I don't have any answers, however... but this is a good question.
