Playing a file on a network drive.

Postby RrnR » 24 Feb 2016 05:20

I can't seem to do this on the Android version of VLC - browse to a network location and play a video file. I can do it on the iPad version. Is this feature missing, or just well hidden?

Missing.

It will be there in version 2.0.

Register for the beta to get it sooner.

How do I register for the beta? - I already have the beta release of the Android app from the play store. Is there more to do?

you can do it when using es explorer, just navigate to the network path where the video is and open it with vlc
