The first public beta of VLC 4.0 for iOS is here!
Hello Everyone!
This is a very big update coming to the app for iOS, iPadOS and tvOS. It’s built on a pre-release version of the brand-new libVLC 4 engine — a new clock, player and playlist core — with a redesigned interface and a long list of features.
A few of the highlights:
* HDR playback, multi-channel & spatial audio, and Picture-in-Picture
* Dual subtitles
* A fully redesigned audio player, tvOS player and web interface, iOS 26 “Liquid Glass” adaptation
* iPad sidebar navigation, a now-playing widget, gamepad control, and App Intents / Siri
* “Kids Mode” to prevent accidental deletions, pCloud integration
* New codecs, formats and protocols (HEIF, DASH WebM, DVBSUB in MKV, RIST, AMT, Gopher, and more)
* Major accessibility improvements throughout the playback interface
iOS 12 / tvOS 13 and later
It’s a very first test release. It is not finished and not feature-complete. Install it via TestFlight, try it on your own library, and tell us what breaks.
