About VLC Beta (NEON) permissions

Postby lincruste » 02 Jul 2012 18:08

Hello,
Why is VLC Beta for Android asking for sensitive logs access ?
It does not seem appropriate , but perhaps there is a technical reason for this. Which one ?
Thank you for porting this great media player by the way.

Yes, precisely, it is needed for debugging purposes.

And it is documented on the description on the market.

It will be removed for the release.
