Not long ago I recommended it as an excellent player for TV and the new news confirms it. And it is that a new update of VLC is launched that includes, among other things, compatibility with more formats; as if it had little variety! We tell you about it along with the rest of the news.

What does the new VLC update for this 2022 include?

Considering that it is the best known and used in different devices, it is normal that, from time to time, VLC brings us news, as is the case. This version is 3.0.17 or Vetinari and it is all we need until VLC 4 and its interface change, which is very simple for us.

To begin with, aspects such as 360 playback, deco up to 8K, support for HDR 10 to 10 bits or transmission to Chromecasts in any format are maintained and refreshed.

As for formats, support for AV1, DAV, E-AC3 and DTS LBR is added. The same happens with Apple’s spatial audio (which, for example, we already find in Netflix content ), which we can already perceive without losses and even getting improvements in Audio CD. Libraries and codecs have been updated to the latest version available in both video and audio formats. It is now also compatible with external SMB and SRT subtitles.

At the same time, it has managed to solve the errors that occurred with the videos that were recorded in VP9 and those related to the file support of HEVC-compressed videos.

We found different improvements to play streaming content in general. Also in terms of access to servers and their exploration as well as content stored on local network equipment.

The player is still free and the version with all these new features is available on its official website for Android, iOS, Linux, Windows and Mac OS.
