In a note published on the VideoLAN forum, the team working on the creation of VLC media player, an open-source, states lack of developers for the release of the Mac-version of the player. It is because of lack of developers VideoLAN team and the player can not complete the development of, in particular, its user interface.
That's what they say on the forum VideoLAN:
In fact, we do not have enough people to work with VLC interface for the Mac.
The core of VLC and most of plugins work well enough, but not GUI client in OS X (which is 1% VLC code), the language Objective-C.
This explains the problems that can be seen in the latest version of VLC 1.0.x for the Mac.
Although VideoLAN team have ideas about how to solve the problem. And one of them is to switch to using an alternative interface Qt.
VideoLAN also representatives reported that recently, Apple is not always cooperate when it comes to the VLC project, strongly hindering the development of the application. Perhaps Apple's not happy that he is competing with your own player - QuickTime Player. As a result, the Mac version of VLC can and do die. And what then watch videos that can not reproduce the QT?
