Dear Forum. Usin VLC 3.1.0-RC1 in Android Pie 9.0 FEB19. I have Synology NAS SMB2/3 shares and I can browse the video files with VLC Local network. I can open a video file that has no spaces in the file name: e.g. "folder/video.mp4". Apparently VLC uses 127.0.0.1 localIP way to open the SM...

Hi.. Quite fast deployments ! Wow!

24.01.2019 v3.0.96 already out.... well.. URI schema is still not fixed.

Sorry to bother you, but VLC for Android v3.0.95 , updated 22.01.2019 did not include the vlc://http:// URI scheme fix..

Well... It is already an issue in https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc- ... issues/708 but it has not been started yet, so....

Dear All.

15.01.2019 VLC for Android 3.0.94 has not yet the vlc://http://. URI schema fix.

Video feed i guess? I have working solutions to hammer down http mpeg 2/4 2-10mbit into 64k-2mbit h264 ts mp3

Just tell what do want to do, describe..

True, I guess a easy web-server in your LAN would solve this. I suggest e.g. raspberry pi 3b, it also can act as a easy OpenVPN server in order to gain easy access from your phone to your private LAN. No need to port forwarding but UDP 1194. Apache & php7 is easy to install and creation of webUI...

Nigthly builds?

Use VLC's LUA HTTP web interface to tell VLC to do stuff, with cURL e.g..

1. Some actor invokes http calls to vlc to start doing stuff
2. material is ready to be pulled from vlc using static playlist file / direct MRL (http/rtmp/rtsp)..

Wonderful, this issue will be fixed quite soon I guess, using VLC:// URI scheme registration inside to open the http.... file.ts! e.g. using <h href="vlc://http://..... video.ts"> like with iOS version already understands, issue resovled! Here is the Issue 708 https://code.videolan.org/vid...

Dear Forum.

Using Xbox One X (november 2018 update) with VLC UWP (installed 29.12.2018).
When user download's M3U file, system offeres "open" options, but even with VLC installed, Xbox does not seem to associate the file to it.

Would it be possible to use m3u files in VLC?

Thank you.

Will this Be fixed in coming v3.1 version?

I'm sorry to ask, but when to what version/release would this be fixed?

Issue created https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc- ... issues/708

Well.. I Found the "Cure"! FIXED!! \vlc-android-master\medialibrary\src\org\videolan\medialibrary\media\MediaWrapper.java /** * Create a new MediaWrapper * @param mrl Should not be null. */ public MediaWrapper(long id, String mrl, long time, long length, int type, String title, String file...

I guess the correct place to start debugging vlc-android-master/vlc-android/src/org/videolan/vlc/StartActivity.java is startPlaybackFromApp() There is call to MediaUtils.INSTANCE.openMediaNoUi(intent.getData()); where the MediaUtils takes care of the getQueryParameter() to get the payload from url.....

Hi, thank you for answering. Well, I guess the URI registration would be the way to go and it actually seems to work, because vlc:// scheme is registered to vlc's one activity, though the actualy stream pulling seems to have an issue.. iOS Safari works perfectly with this: vlc is launched stream sta...

Dear VLC forum. Using pure Android 8.1 oreo and VLC 3.0.13, revision 387f303ba (ARMv8) With what mechanism may VLC player be launched in Android world? Windows 10 desktop is just awesome on this matter. Even blobs as a href works beautiful in FireFox... Edge not. I have tested quite many and they do...

Hi there. This is just a question: Is VLC media player 3.0.3 Vetinari (revision 3.0.3-1-0-gc2bb759264) in Raspberry Pi's "Raspbian Stretch 2018-11-13" HW accelerated when doing h264 encoding? Raspberry Pi's change log says " VLC media player with VideoCore hardware acceleration includ...

but this has worked before..

Ok, thank you.
I tried "VLC-Android-3.0.13-20181107-0059-ARMv8.apk" and this build did not change the efect... Chrome just asked to "donload to folder"... VLC was not mentioned.. Donno if the assosiaction feature was in there...
