Today, the team used that same Kickstarter page to give a development update for the Windows 8 port, along with the posting of some new screenshots.<br \/>\nThe update itself says that while the team has made &#8220;tremendous progress&#8221; on the Windows 8 version, they still have &#8220;a bit of work to do before sharing it on the store&#8221;. The update says that in addition to adapting VLC to the Windows 8 Modern UI, they have also &#8220;cut down 90% of our symbols that are forbidden&#8221; when creating a Modern app.<br \/>\nThe team is currently working on two tasks for the Windows 8 version, &#8220;make VLC work with MSVCRT 11.0 without crashing&#8221; and &#8220;write headers and C\/C++ code to access the new fashion of COM APIs in which WinRT is written in.&#8221; The team will then work on making the app work on Windows RT (ARM) and on Windows Phone 8.<br \/>\nAs far as the screenshots, you can check out the new images below, including a new start screen for the app. Kickstarter backers should also receive their rewards &#8220;soon&#8221;, according to the page.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.neowin.net\/news\/new-screenshots-and-update-revealed-for-vlc-windows-8-app\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/nccomputertech.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/04\/metro4.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.neowin.net\/news\/new-screenshots-and-update-revealed-for-vlc-windows-8-app\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/nccomputertech.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/04\/metro2.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.neowin.net\/news\/new-screenshots-and-update-revealed-for-vlc-windows-8-app\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/nccomputertech.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/04\/metro3.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neowin.net\/news\/new-screenshots-and-update-revealed-for-vlc-windows-8-app\" target=\"_blank\">New screenshots and update revealed for VLC Windows 8 app &#8211;
