It will now need to look for VLC media player. The app itself is still called VLC.app and the bundle ID is still so this should only cause a problem if you had a Keyboard Maestro macro that looked for the VLC menu item. (if they were going to change it, I would have suggested VLC Media Player not VLC media player but does anyone using VLC really not know that VLC is a media player app? So… WHY?) There might be an explanation somewhere, I haven't had a chance to look. Since it always feels like it is VLC Player for me the video playback tool of choice - whether on a Mac or on a Windows PC. VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVDs, Audio CDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. FYI I was able to test this and it runs well on the MBA M1 over Rosetta2.

FYI I was able to test VLC and it runs well on the MBA M1 over Rosetta2. The potentially bad news is that the menu item next to the  Menu has changed from 'VLC' to 'VLC media player'. Yes, it runs on M1, but it often hangs on exit/quit and has to be force killed. The good news is that is version brings native VLC support (although after you install 3.0.12 on an M1 Mac, you have to do 'Check for Updates' again to get the actual Apple Silicon version, for reasons I do not fully understand). Media on demand Watch videos, listen to music, and. It can even play broken and fragmented files.

I'm not sure this will cause problems with Keyboard Maestro, but it might, so I at least wanted to raise the issue in order to make people aware of the potential for problems. VLC is a sturdy, capable player that can run nearly any file, CD, disk, or DVD without issues.
