How to Install and Use VLC Media Player on Mac

【PConline 資訊】相對於Windows上眾多的播放器，Macbook的用戶能選擇的視頻播放器就相對較少。 而且隨著360度全景視頻的流行，macOS還沒有一款能夠支持的播放器。 最近，開源播放器VLC增加了360度視頻的播放支持。

360° (degree) display is a process of emulating an omnidirectional video shot while at the same time creating an immersive effect on the viewer. They are shot using either a single camera with multiple lenses or a platform with multiple cameras.

Today, VideoLAN, the non-profit organization behind VLC, released version 3.0 of its media player app across several platforms, including macOS and iOS. The update, known as Vetinari, supports a long list of modern video, audio, and streaming technologies

VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVDs, Audio CDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols.

To start watching 360 content in your desktop or laptop, from the download page (linked above) download VLC 360 Windows or VLC 360 MacOS. An installer file will download to your machine.

VideoLAN 今天發佈了 VLC 3.0 第一個預覽版，並加入了 360 度視頻播放支援，這意味著 macOS 用戶可以使用 VLC 3.0 觀看沉浸式環繞視頻。
