But VLC’s developers posted a note when this story first broke Wednesday, stating that Mac VLC isn’t going to die, just that it’s suffering from a “lack of manpower on the current Mac interface.” The developers also add, somewhat cryptically, that “Apple doesn’t want us on the Mac platform and is blocking us a lot, and refuses to explain why.”Īpparently, though, a new, more Mac-like interface is on tap for VLC, and the developers hope to have a beta version available next month. Until more Mac developers join the project, the 64-bit version of VLC for Mac has been suspended indefinitely. The VLC download page now includes a message stating that the VideoLAN project is “looking for more for developers for the Mac OS X port,” stressing experience in C, Cocoa, and Xcode. The app is developed by VideoLan and its user rating is 4.4 out of 5. It is a perfect match for Players in the Audio & Video category. That’s because VLC media player, the (for-now) cross-platform software from the VideoLAN project, reportedly now has a whopping total of zero Mac developers, according to MacNN. The latest version of VLC media player is 3.0 on Mac Informer. Could go MIA PDQ unless some Mac developers step up ASAP.
