VLC for iPhone

[1_iPhone_Lovin_Canadian]

I have the newest version 0.80 and everytime i put a meg, or avi or mpg into the vlc folder, it plays the sound of the video but does not display any picture. Is anyone else having this problem? However when i put a MP3 into that folder, it plays the music perfectly.

Can anyone help???

I'm having the same problem. Apparently he's adding more codecs.

Ya but im only placing AVI and Windows media files into the vlc folder so it should be working shouldnt it? That is what it supports thus far, but i cannot get any video file to work

Just because a file has an avi extension doesn't mean it will play. The avi extension has a bunch of different codecs. I'm guessing that once he gets DivX support it will play a lot more files and even more as codecs are added.

Read back a page for alex1015's post. It explains it in simple terms.

Just downloaded the new version. 0.9.0. I just tried to play an xvid .avi movie. The video played extremely stuttery, like a frame or two every 10 seconds. The sound played alright. A little choppy in places but also very low. Much lower than in the native video player. This app is improving quick! Keep up the good work.

Hopefully once he has all the popular codecs implemented he can integrate proper controls, landscape view with accelerometer transition, etc. An option to listen to movies while the apps sleeps, do other things, and then reopen the player would be nice as well. (my wish)

This is easily the best app ever created for the iphone! I plan on making a generous donation once it's finished.

I suppose thats what you call progress. Any news for using VLC in Safari?
