The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

We are considering moving from VLC to VLC-WinRT to benefit from automatic upgrades.

But, we see that last commit dates from August and there's no mention of it in security bulletin VideoLAN-SB-VLC-3012

What's the status of VLC-WinRT? Is its security followed as closely as the "regular" VLC?

Best regards,

Cyrille

PS1: A quick look at the code leads me to think that VideoLAN-SB-VLC-3012 doesn't apply to VLC-WinRT but I'm not 100% sure (I think VideoLAN-SB-VLC-3012 has been fixed by commits around 56cbe9c4b59edbdc5e1bb2687992f3bbf492eccb which change files in the modules/demux folder that don't exist in VLC-WinRT)

PS2: PS1 makes me think that VLC-WinRT is maybe just a wrapper around libvlc. So, shouldn't it be updated to use a version of libvlc that is not vulnerable to VideoLAN-SB-VLC-3012?

Hi,

VLC for WinRT the app is not getting any more update unfortunately. Remain on the classic VLC 3.x stable app if security is important to you.

Thanks for your answer (and for your work more generaly)

Best regards,

Cyrille
