Im on VLC 2.2.1 and it takes 77seconds to start playing a 34GB MKV movie. during that time the network usage is 1.5Mbps up and down. When the movie starts playing then the network usage is about 30Mbps down. So the issue is not completely fixed?
I am having constant flickering on my Xperia ZR running on android 4.2.2
However when tilting to full screen then the flickering stops. the flickering occurs only when the video is not covering the entire are of the screen.
