The VideoLAN project targets multimedia streaming of MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and DivX files, DVDs, digital satellite channels, digital terrestial television channels and live videos on a high-bandwidth IPv4 or IPv6 network in unicast or multicast under many OSes. VideoLAN also features a cross-platform multimedia player, VLC, which can be used to read the stream from the network or display video read locally on the computer under all GNU/Linux flavours, all BSD flavours, Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, Solaris, QNX, Familiar Linux. VideoLAN is free software, and is released under the GNU General Public License. It started as a student project at the French École Centrale Paris but is now a worldwide project with developers from 20 countries.

Thanks to ARMOUR for the update.

What made you wait for 2.2 ? What was so very special in RC / 2.2 that was not there in 2.1.5. I may be missing out on something . There's no changelog on site at this moment.

A new version of the media player, VLC 2.2.0 has just been released. It is a multi-release so to speak as new versions for nearly every other supported platform have been released as well.

VLC for the desktop brings along with it several improvements and new features. Probably the top feature in this release is support for extension downloading.

You may know that VLC supports extensions which improve the player in one way or the other. Up until now, you had to download these extensions from VLC or another site and place them in the extensions folder of the player to install them.

Not anymore as this functionality is now built-in. You access the plugins and extensions menu via the Tools menu in the main menu bar of the player.

vlc extensions

There you find the addons manager which you can use to manage installed add-ons. There is also an option to get the latest list of add-ons and when you run it, extensions available for the player are displayed in the interface.

Addons are sorted into categories such as skins or extensions, and there is also a search that you can use to find specific ones directly.

To install an add-on, simply click on it and then on the install button that is displayed once you do. This downloads and installs the add-on in the player making the whole process that much more comfortable.

vlc install addons

The more information button displays another window listing detailed information about the selected add-on.

The number of add-ons is quite low currently with the majority being skins for the player. If you are looking for extensions, there are five available currently:

Lyrics Finder to display lyrics when you play music.

Resume Media to add resume support to VLC

Sampler PG generates samples of playlists

VLC Sub to download subtitles.

VLCSub different version.

Additional highlights of the version include better support for H.264, VP9 and ultra HD codecs, auto-rotate feature for videos recorded on phones, and options to download new beta versions from within the application.

A brief overview, what’s new in VLC media player 2.2.0 codename WeatherWax:

  1. Fight the popular vertical video syndrome! VLC automatically detects rotated videos and rotates them using hardware acceleration (on compatible platforms)!
  2. This is supported for MP4/MOV, MKV and raw H264.
  3. Resume playback where you left off. Supported on all the mobile versions of VLC for quite some time, it is now available on the desktop.
  4. Vastly improved support for UltraHD video codecs like VP9 and H265, including encoding.
  5. New hardware acceleration mechanism, GPU 0-copy decoding, faster and implementations for Linux, Android, and Raspberry Pi. (Other OSes will have it in 3.0.0)
  6. Extensions: supported since a long time, we now feature an in-app downloader for the desktop, like Firefox
  7. Subtitles downloading extension
  8. Compatibility with a very large number of unusual codecs
  9. Vastly improved compatibility for problematic files in Ogg, MP4, and WMV.
  10. Support for Digital Cinema Package to play native movie theater formats.
  11. Experimental support of Interactive Menus of BluRays: BD-J
  12. On OS X, we’ve updated the interface for Yosemite compatibility.
  13. On Android, we rewrote most of the UI to match Google Material Design.
  14. This is the first public beta releases for Windows Phone, Windows RT and Android TV.
  15. It is also the first non-beta release on Android.

MPC-HC is good, but the interface is just prehistoric.

MPC-BE is a fork that improves vastly on -HC IMO.

Built in support for playing youtube links, has a subtitles downloader, tons and tons of hotkeys, WASAPI support for bitperfect audio output to your receiver, a much improved interface, an optional minimal toolbar for full screen video, improved support for EVR sync video rendering which detects the exact refresh rate of your display and adjusts the video to prevent screen tearing.

It can also be setup to resume your place on a video you were playing. So lets say you're watching a movie and need to reboot, you close MPC-BE at 33 minutes and 23 seconds, when you reboot and reopen MPC-BE and reopen the movie it'll automatically seek to 33 min and 23 seconds.

And my favorite: a borderless window video mode that is resizeable. You click on video to move the window.
