VLC media player 2.2.2 has been released, with a ton of new features. The most important addition to the application, is support for Mac OS El Capitan. It is a bit surprising, that the developers took this long, to add suppoert for the latest version of the operating system, which was launched over four months ago. But it should work just fine now.
Owning to the update of Mac OS, VLC media player is not able to work perfectly on El Capitan until now.
