The VLC media player may be coming to Windows Phone… eventually. Developer Thomas Nigro has posted a screenshot of a work-in-progress version of the popular app designed to run on Microsoft’s mobile operating system, but he says it’s too soon to say if or when the app will be available to the public. VLC is a cross-platform media player that supports a wide range of audio and video formats.

A couple of weeks ago, the team at VLC released the VLC app designed for Microsoft’s Windows 8’s Metro UI. The app has been in development for quite a while now and we’re sure Windows 8 users are probably happy to finally get their hands on the app. However back when VLC announced they would be developing the app, they also opened themselves up to the possibility that the app could be developed for Windows Phone as well, although recently they stated that the app would only arrive for Windows Phone 8.1, citing performance issues as one of the reasons.
