But I am guessing it doesn't hurt either ;-) I hope you won't object, I edited my post above to include a link to the donations page.

Money is used for buying hardware, going to conferences, codec bounties and organizing a big multimedia conference. But if you have one million or two, I got great ideas :D

VLC is the greatest media player for iOS. Much better than iTunes, which is shit and garbage, like most apple software (go ahead, downvote me apple fanboi). About 6 months ago, VLC suddenly vanished from my iPhone. Turns out, Apple, feeling threatened by VLC, had banned it from the App store. VLC: I have missed you so much... thank you for coming back to me.

What is the story of VLC and the Apple App Store. Has Apple rendered any verdict or is it just submit each version, hope for the best, sometimes yes sometimes no, randomly with no comment?

Why can't I install it from Google Play Store for Android? This is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.v... I get told "This app is incompatible with all of your devices." and for each device says "This item is not compatible with your device". I have 7 different devices on my account, most with Android 4.2+ which is marked as the minimum version.

Are you doing any DPI change hackery? That is usually the most common reason for Play Store errors like that.

Because it's the test version of the new app. You need to go to the G+ page to get it. General release will happen soon, maybe during the weekend.

I see a test version from the same publisher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.v... Nowhere on the app's page does it say it is a test version, or why it is blocked from every device, nor give a G+ link. Here is an article which is where I saw this first, along with links to install: http://venturebeat.com/2015/02/27/vlc-gets-first-major-relea... This is all very confusing, and quite frankly…

So, it's the first time we do a coordinated release of VLC. We're doing it for desktop (Linux, Windows, OS X) and mobile ports (Android, Windows Phone, Windows RT, iOS) but also for Android TV. It's been quite difficult, but we're finishing the work we've started 2 years ago to move to mobile: the code base is now ready for that, without hacks. So, a lot of the cooler stuff for mobile are going to happen for 3.0.0 th…

Would there be a way to implement libVLC as a replacement for Quick Look in Mavericks and Yosemite? That would be fantastic! Right now (as you may know) Apple depreciated Quick Look and it no longer works with far too many video formats even if one has the old version of QuickTime installed with Perian.
