VLC is adding AirPlay support and will reach 3 billion downloads

VLC, the open-source video player app, is announcing two major milestones from CES today. The development team, Videolan — along with Jean-Baptiste Kempf, one of the lead developers — told Variety at CES that it'll be adding AirPlay support, allowing users to transmit videos from their iPhone (or Android) to their Apple TV.

The update could be released for the primary VLC app in "about a month," for free. However, VLC tells The Verge there's no specific release date yet.

[...] The second major milestone for VLC is that it’s closing in on 3 billion user downloads.

Here is the bug tracker for the 4.0.0 release.

  However there is real risk of contracting oral herpes, which can lead to throat cancer.

  But it's only fair, as all the other gents permit me to blow my load in their own mouths.
