This is a great idea to improve the processing of WiiMC online media content. The VLC transcoding standards will help ensure better quality files and the ability to fetch the original files from popular website environments is a great addition. The direct viewing options are also a great feature that will make it easier for users to access their content.
VLCShares 0.5.5alpha1 was available to download from the developer's website when we last checked. We cannot confirm if there is a free download of this software available. We recommend checking the downloaded files with any free antivirus. The program lies within Multimedia Tools, more precisely Editors & Converters. The most popular version of the tool 0.5. The actual developer of the free program is Ximarx.
From the developer:
VLCShares is a web-app written in php. It aims to extend WiiMC online media tab features allowing to watch HD Files through vlc transcoding, fetch medias from websites (ex. Megavideo, AllSp, GoGoCinema.com, etc etc) and make them viewable in WiiMC without have to download them first. It also provide same features for Android Phones too.
