Re: VLC for iOS/tvOS 2.4.1 through 2.7.2 can't yet support AC3 Audio- here's why

No, all you need is iOS 9.2 or the respective tvOS update so VLC can use the decoder included in the OS. Note that on iOS, this also requires an iPhone 5s, iPad Air or 6th gen iPod touch (or any newer device). Argh, so I've been keeping an old VLC on my iPad for no reason? (My main use of VLC is to...

Re: VLC for iOS 2.4.1 and 2.5.0 can't yet support AC3 Audio- here's why

Just to make it clear -- this issue affects the Apple TV version too, right? I presume it must. So maybe the thread title should be updated. (BTW, Tivo finally added a play-faster-than-realtime functionality, which I am using a lot.. but it only speeds up by 30%. That's enough of a boost for a short...

Re: VLC for iOS 2.4.1 and 2.5.0 can't yet support AC3 Audio- here's why

Wasn't there another thread that said there was going to be a "workaround" for this issue? I'm still using the old version because of this issue.. But noticed another problem. I tried downloading shows from my Tivo (which I then play in VLC on my iPad faster-than-realtime, the main reason ...

Re: VLC for iOS 2.4.1 and 2.5.0 can't yet support AC3 Audio- here's why

Yeah, 2.6.2 no longer has the warning in the download info, but I presume it's still missing. I'd pay $.99, and maybe more, for a new iOS version that fixes a few bugs that I reported that STILL plays the files I want to play... (Downloads from my TiVo, things like reality shows & documentaries ...

Re: VLC download bug - fails if VLC is put into the background

I don't deny that there are times when the user would like something like this to happen.. but iOS enforces this on purpose, for battery and other reasons.

Re: VLC 2.4.1 AC3 playback error

Some things still need to be fixed like the message we get returning on the app prompting to send crash report
As for this, I suggest writing an actual bug report at
https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/

(You need a separate login, which is a pain, but it's the official way to write up bugs.)

Re: VLC 2.4.1 AC3 playback error

As I said in the other thread: I use(d) VLC very often to play recordings downloaded from my Tivo. I used VLC because it would play the raw recordings AND I could play them faster than realtime (which I like for things like news & reality shows -- the non-competition part of the reality show I p...

Re: A52 (AC3) Codec not supported

Is there any chance for a 99 cent version of VLC with this reenabled? I use(d) VLC very often to play recordings downloaded from my Tivo. I used VLC because it would play the raw recordings AND I could play them faster than realtime (which I like for things like news & reality shows -- the non-c...
