I don't need subtitle most of the time. But every time I open a video file in VLC, it displays one of the embedded subtitle (not hardcoded), and I have to select "disable". So freaking frustrating. Either add an option to disable subtitle by default in the settings, or VLC should remember ...

If I connect to a network share in the Files app, click a video file, and then choose "Open in VLC", it seems that VLC is copying the whole file from the SMB server to a local temp directory before start playing the file. For a small video file, it could take several seconds, but for a big...

Sorry, I completely missed your point.

Code: Select all

startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("vlc://smb://server/path/to/file/file.mp4")))

should do the trick

That worked. Thanks. I had wondered if it is allowed to have "://" inside of a URL, but apparently, that is.

Did you try in More > Streams > New stream? No, I did not mean doing it manually as an end user. I meant my app's passing an SMB path to VLC. Imagine that my app is listing the video files on an SMB shared directory. When the user clicks a video file, I want to open it with VLC, by passing the file...

I mean, suppose that there is a SMB file server, named `\\server` (or `smb://server`), and there is a video file on it like `\\server\videos\clip1.mp4`. Can my app pass this file URL to Android VLC so that VLC can play the video file by streaming (not copying the whole file to the phone first)? Andr...

What version are you using? A lot of work has been done for SMB in 3.3.2 (that is currently rolling out). I was using the last version of VLC at the time of the OP, but I just saw a new version (3.3.2) which had "Samba network fixes" in the "What's new". I updated VLC, and now t...

It is not a problem of wrong password. This happens after I have entered the correct credential. It shows a message line at the top: "Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'smb://....". It happens with multiple hosts and it happens on all Android devices I have. Is this...

I opened the 4K HEVC jelly video file with VLC, and the video was choppy with 90%+ CPU usage. The same with MPV. But after web searching, I found this parameter, and now the video was played fine with lower than 10% CPU usage. mpv --hwdec=vaapi --gpu-context=x11egl --vo=gpu jelly.mkv What is the equ...

Situation: OS version is El Capitan. I have two monitors, monitor0 and monitor1. Displays have separate Spaces. monitor0 is the default monitor showing the Dock. VLC is full screen on monitor1. The problem: When VLC is focused, the menu bar and the Dock disappears on monitor0. If I click another ap...

Thank you for the answer. So basically either I have to rebuild the control or use libvlc? The first option is obviously too cumbersome. And for the second option and your remark... perhaps because people are familiar with dealing with visible ActiveX controls like the old Windows Media Player contr...

I added VLC control on my Windows Form (C#). At the beginning the controls a visible. I even have set CtlVisible to true.

Now when I call playlist.play(), the controls are automatically hidden until I put the mouse over it. How can I disable this? I want the control to be visible all the time.
