VLC for iOS now available from Cydia
Developer Ryan Petrich announced on Twitter that he was doing what he could to help ensure users had access to VLC for iOS -- by making it available via Cydia. If you've got a jailbroken iOS device, you just need to add his beta repository (http://rpetri.ch/repo) to your sources and you're good to go.

Here's a win for ideology and a loss for users.

I don't get one thing. VLC is a multi-format player, right? But how do you put video files that cannot be played with the built-in player on the device? It doesn't have a public file system that applications can access...

@Iliyan Actually, there are plenty of ways to do it. Dropbox being one.

@Iliyan : Click on your device in iTunes (assuming, if you're on Windows, that said PoS pseudo-virus decides to actually work for a change). Go to the 'Apps' tab. Scroll to the bottom. There you'll see a list of apps that can have files transferred specifically to or from them. Just drag and drop whatever you want VLC to be able to see.
It's an idiotic and thoroughly unintuitive system, but that's life in the walled asylum.
There may be a better way if you're jailbroke, dunno.

Ugh, keep on getting an 500 internal server error. Will keep the App Store version of VLC until his server's recovered from the weight of the massive downloads.
