VLC launches on Chrome OS
http://venturebeat.com/2015/12/17/vlc-launches-on-chrome-os/
VideoLAN today launched VLC, the world's most used media
player, for Chrome OS. You can download the new app, which is a
port of the VLC version for Android, from the Chrome Web Store.
Chrome OS was one of the last desktop operating systems for
which VLC was not available (the media player exists for
Windows, OS X, Linux, BSD, Solaris, OS/2, Haiku/BeOS, and
ReactOS). Yet Chrome OS wasn't an easy operating system to
support, as VLC is a native application on all platforms (it
uses low-level APIs to output video, audio, and gain access to
threads) built using mostly C and C++. Writing VLC in JavaScript
and other Web technologies, as Chrome OS requires, is not an
easy task by any stretch.
