❛Can these guys do no wrong? Seriously, if only other app devs knew how to make apps as well as these guys, the world would be a better place. Or at least my device would be less buggy. I was just watching a Full HD copy of Avatar Extended Edition being streamed from my PC on my iPod Touch 2nd Generation
and it looked and played amazingly.❜
This is a free version of VLC Streamer which is supported by adverts.

Response to feedback
If you do have any problems streaming movies, then please just check the help instructions in the app. Feel free to drop me an email (my personal mail is in the app) if you need help.
- VLC Streamer will not play DRM protected videos. Videos from the iTunes store do include DRM.
- VLC Streamer is designed to work on your local network, and the free helper app has to run on your Mac or PC.
Accessibility Comments
AppleVis Editor Note: this app was submitted before Usability Ratings were introduced, so one has been chosen on the basis of the accessibility comments made by the original poster. If you have used this app, please post a comment to let us know if you agree with the Rating.
Original Comments: This is a media streaming app that as far as I can tell is completely accessible. The interface on my iOS device is very well labeled. The companion application at least for Windows is accessible. However, I haven't actually managed to stream music from my PC yet, but that's my laptop's problem. Please comment if you face problems in actual streaming and I'll update the accessibility status.
There is a paid version as well.
