[iPad 3] VLC froze mid-playback, won't respond?
Posted: 22 Apr 2014 01:14
Just pulled this app down from iTunes yesterday, and installed on my iPad 3.
I'm running the last iOS that was released before iOS 7 (haven't gotten around to updating).
Found the UI and file-transfer systems very intuitive, and have had a great time so far.
However, just now, while watching a .avi file, the playback froze - and the entire iPad has stopped responding to any controls.
This includes forcing a 'power down', by holding the power button down for 5+seconds.
There is no response to touchscreen commands, nor the homebutton.
It's still displaying the playback in a a frozen state, 15m later.
Even plugging it in to a power outlet gets no response - it doesn't even pop the "charging" sound and picture.
How can I reset my iPad, and regain control, and also regain playback? Right now, it's effectively a 2lb. digital picture frame....
and it's kinda giving me the willies.
