W10 VLC App vs VLC Media Player

Postby beermati » 13 Oct 2021 04:22

Hi - apologies for a basic question, but I don't really understand the pros/cons of using the Universal Windows App vs the VLC media center.

Is it best to install only one of them? Which one? Is it an issue to install both?

Oddly, I can't find anything in the wiki, FAQ, or elsewhere online via search.

I'm not even sure the Store version of VLC is still being developped. It's better to use the Desktop version of VLC which has more features.

Very good, thanks for that answer. I uninstalled the app version and have updated to latest Media Center version.
