It is however very likely that the new version will get picked up soon by the program so that you can install it using the update checker if you wait long enough for that to happen. When I run the update check on VLC 2.0.4 it tells me right now that it is the latest version. VLC 2.0.5 is already available on the home page of the VideoLAN website but not yet available via the program's update checker.
Today, an update for VLC for the desktop has been released. The developers are currently working on an Android version of VLC which we have reviewed yesterday. Part of the popularity comes from the fact that it supports nearly every media format out of the box, so that you do not need to go out codec hunting before you can play a video or audio file on your system. VLC Media Player is without doubt one of the most popular multimedia players.
