According to the head of development for the Windows platform, Thomas Nigro, the new updated app combines all the necessary programing code that makes a Windows app universal, which provides end-users with the same experience on phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops. Sharing the same code base across platforms allows the team push updates and bug fixes to the app quicker and at the same time on all devices.

Thomas also mentions that DLNA support and manually changing the album cover are a few features that the team dropped in this release, but they will comeback soon. While the Windows Phone version of VideoLAN doesn’t bring much improvements and bug fixes, Thomas explains that today’s release is just on preparation to a bigger update coming in a few months, with Direct3D rendering and hardware decoding.
