- VLC for Mac OS X VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVDs, Audio CDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols.
- VLC Streamer won’t connect to my PC / Mac. Run the connection tests on the helper app. VLC Can’t process the movie. VLC is great, but it can’t handle everything. Unfortunately, sometimes even if it can play a movie, then it can’t convert it to the format needed for streaming.If you are a VLC expert, then VLC Streamer is set up to help.
- This will run the command that VLC streamer is using to convert the movie. You should see output from VLC in a new window. Hopefully this will give additional information on what is not working. Click on the ‘open working directory’ button in the helper; You’ll see a series of directories corresponding to converted movies.
- For the streaming process to work, you must install the Android / iOS edition of VLC Streamer on your device and deploy VLC Streamer Helper on your PC (a Mac OS edition is also available).
