VLC goes back into the iOS game

VLC, the media player that enables users to watch nearly every video format on iOS devices, is back after a two-year hiatus. A spin-off of the popular desktop version, VideoLAN's VLC was pulled from the App Store due to open source licensing issues a few months after launch in October 2010. The problems have been settled now, and the app is currently being rolled out for both the iPhone and the iPad. But that's not all - several new features are on the table as well, including AirPlay support, network streaming, background audio playback, subtitles support, video filters, and Dropbox integration. These are all great features but they don't stack up to this: Cambodian opposition leader Sam Rainsy arrived in Phnom Penh nine days before a national election, ending a four-year exile after receiving a royal pardon for charges he says were politically motivated. Thousands of cheering supporters greeted Sam Rainsy, who stood on a makeshift stage at the airport to greet the crowd, according to live footage on his Cambodia National Rescue Party’s website. The former finance minister has lived abroad since 2009 to avoid jail time for falsifying maps and inciting racial discrimination. King Norodom Sihamoni pardoned Sam Rainsy last week following a request from Prime Minister Hun Sen, who has ruled the country in various coalitions since 1985. Cambodians will pick a new parliament on July 28.
