VLC is known to be one of the best and most reliable players around. I remember fiddling with codec packs and drivers to play certain videos on my computer when I was a kid. 😁
This app will probably be a hit on Apple TV. As usual for Apple TV apps, no link but search "VLC" in the App Store. If you have already VLC on your iPad or iPhone it may appear in the purchased section. But it is currently rolling out. so let s see...
Does this work for streaming urls as well? If so, this would be massive, it not it will require those horrible old "files".

I use Plex on the Apple TV and it's amazing, so I don't see a huge need for this except for one feature; playback speed.
Sometimes I'm in the mood for a mindless movie, but want to waste less than ~90 minutes watching it, so watching a movie in 1.5x or 2x speed would be awesome!

@ryanshook@bradenhamm I've done it a few times on VLC on my Mac and it was fine. I listen to all of my podcasts at 2x so I'm used to sound as well.
I installed VLC last night - works really well. Although I have Plex installed, VLC is still great for getting content off any SMB share easily. The remote playback feature is also great for Windows users to quickly play a file on the Apple TV with zero setup on their side.
