Versie 2.2.2 van VLC Media Player is uitgekomen. Deze opensource- en cross-platformmediaspeler kan diverse audio-, video- en streamingformaten afspelen, zonder dat hiervoor de desbetreffende codec hoeft te worden geïnstalleerd. In versie 2.2.0, is onder meer het Vertical Video Syndrome aangepakt, onthoudt de desktop nu ook waar hij gebleven is en is de ondersteuning voor hd-codecs, zoals vp9, opus en h265/hevc, verbeterd. Verder kunnen extensies nu direct vanuit de mediaspeler worden gedownload en wordt de Android-versie niet langer als bèta aangeboden. Versie 2.2.2 verhelpt verder een groot aantal fouten en heeft bijgewerkte vertalingen.
