Thanks!

We have it working in the development branch of VLC 4. It should be out this year.

Is it sure, that PiP will be among the features of version 4 and is there any information available, when version 4 will be released? No specific date just an idea if it could be this year or next year or whatever?

Let me start by admitting i am using the latest beta version of vlc for Android. Prior to updating my Samsung a54 5g to Android 14 opening vlc functioned as normal, i.e selecting movie opens video in full screen. Since updating to Android 14 whenever I select a video it opens in picture-in-picture w...

1. I actively use vlm, managed via http, to watch IPTV (PiP, mosaic). Everything works well on good-looking channels. "Miracles" begin on problematic channels. Namely, the del team often does not work out, even del all. And so far I haven't ...

Will there be support for PiP in a future update?

Unfortunately, there is nothing in the settings that covers that.The closest way to do it is to change "Background/PiP mode int he settings to "Play videos in Picture-in-picture mode" and the use your home button/gesture.

... can we make it so that if I turn off the screen in normal mode, and then turn back on, it resumes normal mode. If I turn off the screen during PiP mode, it resumes to PiP mode? Also, maybe this is some android restriction, but it's clunky that when I turn off the screen and then turn it back ...

There is no way to do it. It will come in version 4 of VLC.

Hello!
I was wondering if there was any way to use Picture in Picture feature with the VCL app for iPad. The version is 3.4.8.

Thank you!

Good time of day. I decided to try vlc 4.0 vlm. I tried both through the import of the vlm file from the GUI and through the parameter. Does not work. Everything works fine in vlc 3.0 .xx, the startup string and log are attached. vlc.exe --file-logging --logfile=vlc.log --logmode=text --log-verbose=...

... this behavior wasn't in 3.4.4 but i may be mistaken because I've reset the settings so many times now. Android 6.0 VLC 3.5.2 and 3.5.0 Background/pip mode - Stop Resumed played videos - doesn't matter

Did you allow the PiP mode for VLC? You can change it in your system settings > Applications > VLC > Permissions(?)

In the next version we will check this permission as well and ask for it if needed.

... Latest version and beta version too. Am using android 10 go edition. The version supports picture in picture mode. Because other apps like newpipe works with pip mode. Am not sure if I can post bug report here. Couldn't find you on GitHub and gitlab. Device info: --- <table> <tr><td>Android ...

So here's what I'm facing..
I use pip feature for background playback.. however sometimes when i go back to full screen from pip I can't seek my video anymore.
In order to seek again I need to rotate the playback and do it.

Another solution would also be to change the setting "Background/PiP mode" to "Play videos in background". Then you can start your play back and just hit your home button.

Indeed Apple finally added the API we need in iOS 15 to support this. However, they did it in a way that requires us to re-write the video output strategy in VLC for iOS/tvOS more or less in full. This is a bug amount of work that was already internally discussed for feasibility, but was not started...

I thought that may have been the problem and disabled it but it doesn't seem to use the standard pop-up

In VLC settings, did you check Video > Use custom Picture-In-Picture popup? If so, disable it and you will get the system one.

When using pip, it seems extremely easy to close the player. I'm most other apps, it requires you to bring the player to either the top or bottom and to drag it off the screen. I keep trying to move the player from the bottom to ...

Dear VLC team,

As apple has now added API for PiP in ios15, when can we roughly expect that to be pushed in to vlc?

I am not sure how tough is this job, but some estimated time can be shared by the vlc team.

Many thanks for all the work you are doing.

Regards.

... example of one of them. Every software has a borderless window mode where you can drag it around, every other video player, also Chrome/Firefox PiP mode can do this. But oh no, it can be done in VLC. Right.
