I wish the feature could be rolled into VLC.

Seems highly out of place to me. In macOS and linux it’s in the a/v stack.

There's something similar-ish... if you have an Apple TV and install VLC, there's a feature that allows you to upload whole video files across your local network, and then play them directly from the Apple TV. It's a bit less conveient than Beamer used to be, but still good enough.

Another past paying Beamer user here. I used it until it stopped working, didn’t update, then was bought by another company for redevelopment and incorporated into a horrendous subscription scheme, compete with hard sell sales.

I’ve used VLC on the AppleTV since then.

Beamer user for a very long time. Now, I just Airplay.
