From PC World: Everybody’s favorite open source video player just got even better. The VideoLAN Organization is releasing the stable version of VLC 2.2.0 on Friday, packed with a few goodies ahead of the VLC 3.0.0 release scheduled for later this year.
The new VLC for Windows, Mac, and Linux rocks a Firefox-style in-app extensions “store,” resume playback, in-app subtitle downloads, and early support for interactive Blu-ray menus.
Friday’s VLC release isn’t just for the desktop either. For the first time, VideoLAN released major upgrades to all its platforms at once, and even added a few new ones including Android TV, Windows Phone, and Windows RT.
VideoLan hopes to coordinate future release major releases across all its platforms, but organization president Jean-Baptiste Kempf says he isn’t promising anything just yet since coordinating major releases for all VLC platforms is a monumental task.
