VLC TV Player
from Kartina Digital GmbH
Overview
VLC TV Player is a program developed by Kartina Digital GmbH. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The software installer includes 7 files and is usually about 44.3 MB (46,447,392 bytes). In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 7 (SP1) as well as Windows 10. While about 44% of users of VLC TV Player come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and Israel.
