MP4 files and only after trying for a few hours, I got the. I have tried uploading multiple file types and multiple files for each format. At the moment of writing it is not possible to have the WiFi download option running in the background while using other apps, but you can watch an already uploaded video while you upload other ones.Īs this is the first time VLC is released for iOS, I expected some teething problems and boy, I was right.
This happens rather quickly, but make sure your device doesn’t go to sleep, or the transfer will fail. Then just drag and drop your files in your browser (or select them via a classic selection menu) and the files will start uploading. Select this, open a browser on your computer and type in the IP address supplied by the app.
The third, and easiest way to get videos on your device is by using the WiFi Upload option. The second option is “Download from web server”, which is used to download videos from a specific website to your device.
The first is “Open Network Stream”, which allows you to connect VLC to your video collection and play any of these by streaming them straight to your device. VLC for iOS gives the user a few options to prepare videos to watch.
