VLC player vine pe Xbox One din aceasta vara

[djleo666]

Unul din cele mai cunoscute media playere VLC (cunoscut si sub numele de Video Lan) va ajunge incepand din aceasta vara pe Xbox One sub forma de aplicatie UWP - aplicatie Windows universala. Dezvoltatorii aplicatiei au anuntat ca au inceput dezvoltarea aplicatiei pentru Xbox One inca din luna Februarie a acestui an, iar in acest moment se apropie de versiunea 2.0 (aceasta fiind si vesiune beta). Personal consider ca sosirea VLC-ului pe Xbox va transforma consola in centru multimedia complet (bine, daca luam in calcul si o eventuala aparitie a media-playerului KODI atunci reteta ar fi completa). Detalii privind anuntul gasiti in postul lui Thomas Nigro (el se ocupa de crearea si portarea UWP-ului pe Xbox One):

WinRT / UWP

The WinRT port was extremely busy, these past two weeks.

Indeed, we are preparing a beta version named 1.9.0, that would prepare for the first true UWP version, that will be named 2.0.0.

We've added most of the features that you usually see on the Android and iOS versions of VLC, notably UPnP and network shares browsing, support for HTTPS and adaptive streaming, better hardware decoding, dialogs support, as many codecs as the desktop version, and so on.
Moreover, the engine use the runtime 12.0_app instead of the 11.0 one we used on the WinRT version.

On the UI side, we now support correctly Windows 10 integration, with Cortana, drag and drop, tablet mode and a lot of fixes so that the application looks responsive enough on all the devices, from mobile to the Xbox 1. We polished this UI and fixed a few important regressions, notably on the playback and the thumbnailer.

The application is currently in private beta mode, so that the biggest issues are fixed before opening it up. :)

Personal chiar daca anuntul spune "this summer" cred ca pana in luna August (eventual chiar Septembrie) si update-ul cu ocazia implinirii unui an de Windows 10 nu il vom vedea in Store-ul Xbox-ului.
