The great challenge facing the Redmond team is to build a universal platform able to reconcile experiences on all types of devices. To achieve this goal, obviously, Microsoft needs to put on the table certain resources that attract developers and that they decide to believe in the power of the PC and productivity to conquer the touch universe. For now VLC will be one of the weapons of Windows 10.
Although good alternatives and VLC no longer the fast and all-powerful tool it used to be, able to read any format In any circumstance, it still maintains the role of a great reference in terms of video players, both in iPad as in Mac, Android o Linux and, of course, in Windows. This will soon be integrated into the platform's universal applications program, serving as an example for many other developments.
A video with the picture in picture function appears on Twitter
Thomas Nigro, the lead developer of the VLC app, posted a tweet showing the progress of the function picture in picture what will be the version of the player in Windows 10. It is, for those of you who do not know, something very similar to the floating YouTube window on Android. The video is minimized playing in a small section of the interface while we have the possibility to search for other files.
Along with this post, Nigro has revealed that he is preparing for today a text on his blog in which he will explain the progress of its development, so we hope to know an approximate date for the official landing of VLC on the universal platform of Windows 10 and maybe some of that other unknown feature so far.
VLC for Universal Windows 10 Platform, What can it mean?
A tool as important as VLC (although we already said, probably some users claim that there are better options today) should be a accolade important for the transversality of the operating system that it intends to impose.
Let's face it, the idea is very good, and it will probably end up setting a trend, but to those of Redmond There is still a lot of platform organizing work to be done. Downloading an application to a PC with a full desktop system through the Windows Store is a strangely complicated task and tedious in some cases, when it should be "seen and unseen." It is also important to create a clear section in which to identify these apps with a universal desire.
