The VideoLAN Forums

Is there a version of VLC that supports the first generation iPad (limited to iOS 5.1.1)?
(and if so is there a git tag for that version?)

Thanks,
Dirk

(I tried searching the forums but did not find much, it's not possible to search for "5.1.1")

That's version 2.2.x (see https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation ... e_Overview for a lot more details).

You can find the source code here: http://downloads.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-iOS/

For a noob like me, any tips on how to get it in to the ipad from the link above?
