Help us test VLC for Android and report bugs

[bleah123]

VLC 1.7.5 has audio only on the right side of headphones (left side is dead) on HTC 10. Works as expected using Google Play or other apps.

Hello
I installed VLC for Android on a Samsung HomeSync device yesterday and like what I see!
Congrats to the developers on the work done so far. After browsing through different directories on attached USB drives as well as over SMB I watched some series. Everything went well.
Maybe I just didn't see it yet and someone can show me where it is. After viewing a movie or a series I delete the file to save space on my media. It would be nice to be able to do that within the VLC Android file browser. If this is not already possible I would like to ask for this as a feature request.

In any case it is a very nice app.
Thanks for your work!
Jack

Hi,

Just tried the VLC 2.0.0

Very nice app, just having a problem where Local Network (SMB) videos always play from the start.

If I partially play a video then exit and resume the same video later, it plays from the start.

Videos from internal storage resume from previously watched point perfectly.

Using Samsung Galaxy S5 and old Motorola Xoom.

Everything else very nice.

Thanks,

Paul

I just installed "VLC on Android 2.0.0" on a Samsung S2 9.7 running stock Marshmallow 6.0.1.

Every time I try to launch VLC, it blanks the screen and immediately takes me back to the launcher.

How do I get around this or even diagnose the problem?

[fable]

I find VLC player cannot play MP4 over http when network is not good.

the screen will be black.

and I test in iphone6s, it also the same.

Hello!

Would you mind telling me whether VLC-Android-2.1.0-20160624-1716-x86_64.apk will work on ASUS ZenPad S Z580CA? I can try to test it, but Play Market tells me that my device is not supported and I'm not sure that this apk will work.

Thank you.

Ver 1.71 : The earphone one click = pause/play is OK, but double click should move to next song , this function fail since 1.70
All function well while using ver 1.661

This is an Android restriction.

VLC stopped working on my Transformer Prime (ASUS TF201, unmodified) with a recent update. It either crashes back to the home screen without any notification when attempting to start it, or it shows a huge error log with a button to restart the app.

I don't use that tablet a lot anymore and it's been a while since I played any video on it, so I had to use trial and error to find a version that still worked, regressing through all the apks up for download down to 2.0.0. That version works flawlessly.

Media tracker/updater has a file parsing bug

All of my media files which contain additional "." symbols in the file name are not listed on the internal media listing

For example these files are ignored by the tracker but they play normally when played from the directory view (from separate albums, other files from the albums are listed by the tracker and work fine):
03 - Going and going. And going.ogg
05 - Night Shift (feat. Abstract Rude).ogg

I suspect this is a simple parsing issue where the tracker checks the file type by looking for the first instance of "." + "mp3" OR "ogg" OR "aac" OR "insert whitelisted file type suffix" and discards every other file.
The tracker should probably look for the last instance of "." in the file name and check the file type suffix after the last instance of "."

VLC version - 2.0.4

Is this like a testing region? is the APK downloaded on google store same with what ur asking us to test?
I've been using VLC now for about months and all I experience that may need is that it could recognize the last scene ur at so you dont have to RW or FW.

I using VLC for some time now and I noticed that it show all the folder on the phone, I mean will it be possible for it to show only the folder that has video? or it could create a folder of its own that gather them on 1 folder or creation?

Latest version (2.0.6) does not play m3u and m3u8 files anymore.

[proxyma]

Hello,
I have following problem:
Start playing an mp3-file.
Press Standy-by button of smartphone -> Playing continues
After some (undefined) time the VLC pauses the replay of the mp3
-> the play button has to be pressed angain (e.g. in lock screen) which is very annoying when cycling or jogging

Is this a bug or is there a setting (in VLC or smartphone energy) to de-/activate this "feature"?

Thanks in advance for your support,
p.

VLC version - 2.0.6
Phone - Samsung Galaxy S5
Model No. - SM-G900F
Android version - 6.0.1

Would be nice if the streaming urls could have an Alias or be named to easily differ between streaming sources,
While at it also make it possible to edit the streaming url. Just not the function to delete it.


Hard to tell multiple streaming sources appart

Some tool to obtain and bookmark/register online streaming sources would also be nice.

[flodis]

Work arround for streams named by url only

Found while streaming the stream can be added to a new playlist with desired name. When playlist played the stream plays instatntly.

Since new 2nd generation (2016) Fire TV stick does not show VLC for Fire in Appstore, I've sideload VLC for Android ARMv7 2.0.6, which seems to be working well for SMB streaming except for occasional glitches on HEVC MKV files. Is that the recommended version, or should I use some other version? Thanks.

[SlyyEra]

I'm on ZTE ZMAX Pro and I've had the app for a while. I was able to stream over smb, but now I can't. The app can't find my shared files on my network. It has been about 4 days and I haven't found a solution.

[JNavas]

It's hard to say what's causing your problem without more information:
Are you sure the ZTE is actually on the same network as your SMB host?
Do apps on the ZTE other than VLC see your SMB host and the shared files?
Do other network devices see the SMB host and the shared files?

[SlyyEra]

I only have 1 network, so im pretty sure. ( not really sure how to answer that one )
I only use vlc for smb, it was my first time. I was working fine but one day I couldnt see any videos. I do think my homegroup password was changed it that helps.
Ill see if my wifes laptop can still watch movies.

You could be on a neighbor's network -- don't laugh, happens often -- or you could be on cellular instead of Wi-Fi. But the Homegroup is the likely cause -- that's a Windows thing that many non-Windows devices don't understand. Try switching to Workgroup.

[SlyyEra]

Yeah, it's the home group. My computer's can't recognize other computers. I'm trying to fix it but I'm not successful yet.
