VLC Streamer Pro

VLC Streamer Pro is for sending video from a computer to a phone or tablet, with the local network doing the heavy lifting. By our assessment, that makes it useful for people who want to watch their own files away from the computer without first copying everything over. The honest downside is that it depends on the home setup and on VLC-style source files, so it is not the kind of thing that solves every streaming problem in one go. In practice it is a bit more technical than a plain player: you set the source, point the app at it, and then it behaves like a remote viewing window. It sits beside other personal-streaming tools rather than public services, and that narrower job is exactly why it exists. It suits people with a library of local video who want access on the move, and it has less to offer to someone expecting a general movie platform.
