Apple TV (2nd generation)

Postby ZarathustraSpoke » 08 May 2024 21:57

I did a forum search but could not find any links to my question, which is whether VLC-iOS will run on Apple TV Apple TV (2nd generation).

If version specific, can someone please say which VLC-iOS will work on this device, please? Thanks a lot.

VLC requires a 4th generation Apple TV or any later device such as Apple TV HD or Apple 4K (any generation). This is because Apple only introduced support for third party apps in tvOS 9, which was never published for the 2nd or 3rd generation Apple TV.
