Crashes within 5 seconds on load, can't really say more than that. Just to confirm, this is not a force close, it literally exits without so much as a peep from me.

This is running android 4.1.1

I suspect that one of your media files is causing a native segfault in code somewhere within LibVLC. Try to get a logcat trace: http://wiki.videolan.org/Android_Report_bugs#Logcat_log

Can't get a log, just wont create one, even with ADB.

I can however confirm that with no media files on my sdcard partition that it opens and stays up just fine.

From what I can see is that it fails at the thumbnail creation as that's the part it crashes at (at least all I can see)

Did you enable USB debugging in Android system settings? Maybe that's why, since ADB daemon wouldn't run otherwise.

USB debugging is indeed on.

mine does this also. has done from new.

re thumbnails. it also crashes if rather than launching the app directly i send it a video file. i don't know if thumbnail generation is still done in the background but i thought it might be relevant.

has any testing been done on Jelly Bean?

It works on my Galaxy Nexus running Jellybean 4.1.1.

I see you guys pulled VLC Direct from the google play store - any idea when you guys might have it going on 4.1.1 Jellybean? Not rushing...just eager to try it out on the new Nexus 7 tablet

I can get it to work using a Serviio stream (loaded through MediaHouse) but I do have the problem of having incredibly out of sync audio if I pause, jump to a new time or anything like that. MX Player does not share this trait which is why I think its VLC not the actual stream.
