Someone probably already said this, but works great on the Droid 2 Global. Admittedly the hardware acceleration is not there yet, but at least it kind of functions, and the cpu can almost handle standard definition video, depending on the encode. Overall I bet this works great on newer dual core Cortex A9 phones, and 720p software decoding even on a quad core a9 should be possible in the future if the app is designed to handle multiple cores at once for decoding.

Also I'm sure someone else mentioned this, but every time I open VLC, it has to re-scan for movies and then make thumbnails for them, which for the maybe 20 files I put on it to test, can be quite a long wait. Perhaps this is a glitch, or maybe the program just doesn't save thumbnails and a history of previously available files? If it did that could help speed things up significantly early on.
[Android Apps and Games] HorusEyE:
Nice job. Thank you for that.

For me it's not working... I mean, i disabled Hardware acceleration, set up a folder to search, and it actually searches but when it finds a .flac file it won't go further in the search. Another issue is that it doesn't play any file. When a try to play any file, after some seconds a message comes up saying the the app has stopped working and do i want to close it or to wait for it to respond... :confused::(

question

is this compatible with armv6 devices such as SE X8?
[Android Apps and Games] Ph1Man:
ARMv6 is part of ARM 11 family. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM11.

But, be warned this does not work well on the optimus one it would not play Divx. Wait for another update\fix. In the meantime just use mx video player.

P.S. Thank you adridu59 this player is awesome, i cant wait to use when it works for me.

Works very well now. I see you've removed any links to the Gallery so there is now no choice there. Music plays from all tabs without FC'ing. But why no artwork and play all/repeat all controls in Landscape mode?

Hi, which video format did you use?

Mine was 720p .mp4 file (1280x688 H264-MPEG4-AVC), and it's too choppy :-(

Plays better on MX player, but still little choppy from time to time, not perfect.

Hate to say it, but plays perfectly on my girlfriend's iPhone 4s stock player)

I used the A8-Neon version for my HP touchpad, and it is working fine. Wikipedia has touchpad listed as Snapdragon S3.

btw, i was originally on CM7 gingerbread. I had pixelation issues on all aspect ratios that required scaling (basically everything except "center").

I finally upgraded to CM9 ICS, and all pixelation disappeared. It looks great on all aspect ratios now!!

Only issue I have left is that when I pause movie and screen times out or I exit to home menu and come back and try to resume movie, audio and video is out of sync. I have to restart movie and advance to where I left off. Minor annoyance for now.

I really hope you can get the bugs worked out for all of the android tablets because this is the best piece of software I have seen yet for videos as far as compatibility.

I would probably not buy any tablet that is not working with this software.

How about making a list of know working devices in the first post?

HP touchpad with CM9 is a definite yes! CM7 works but with scaling issues

Connecting to a specific URL

This is great. Thanks for all the hard work.

Using an HTC Rezound, here's what I have to report:

With the 2nd release of the app, I was able to watch the included MP4 clip of Ellie Goulding that comes on the phone as well as an MKV of Spartacus containing 720p H264 video and 6 channel AC3 audio. IIRC, hardware acceleration had to be disabled for it to work. I think it was choppy with HWA on but it still kind of worked.

I just tried it out on release 3, HWA enabled makes both files audio play perfectly with a black screen. Disabling HWA makes both files play but with choppiness.

just the ui could use some work with the player controls and what not but i know thats not you and that its vlc that needs to chnge it

also that mock up looks pretty nice

but why so many pictures of them at the booth? (suppose to be each frame??)

[Android Apps and Games] Solid One:
Thanks for it!

Very nice video player. One of the best. I use it to play almost all videos on my Ubuntu Desktop. Now I'm gonna use it on my new Android Media Box. Thanks!

By the way, today I've found on Google Play (Former Android Market) that there's a VLC release here by the name "com.vlc.player2":

I can't post link for now because I registered in the form a couple of minutes ago. But as soon as I can, I'll post it here.

I don't know if it was released/updated today, but I'm curious about one thing: Is it the same release as yours? Is it official? Or is it compiled from another developer?

The most strange is that on VLC site, it says VLC for Android is in development (will post link when I have 8 posts). What do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] adridu59:

[Android Apps and Games] onesolo:
So, I still can't understand... what is that "new" vlc app??!?! a new version from another guy (steal?!?) or what?!?
[Android Apps and Games] Solid One:
I've tested both VLCs yesterday on my Media Box (yours and the one from Google Play). Really the one shown on Google Play is fake. Inside, it says it's a variation of "Windows Media Player for Android". I've neither saw subtitles support.

Yours are much better. Remembered me of VLC for iPhone. My Media Box has a Cortex A9 processor, so I was using VLC A9 version. It played nicely non-HD videos, but HD ones gets some slowdowns because I can't use HW acceleration on VLC yet (it's mandatory for running HD videos smoothly).

Anyway, I removed fake VLC links from my posts. There's one quote w/ a link to remove, but that can't be done from me. Sry :(

It's a fake one. That app shown on Google Play is another Video Player with a "VLC Skin". Inside app's Help/About section, it states another name, weidly called "WMP for Android" (or something like that).
[Android Apps and Games] rockingondrums:
I'm pretty sure if VideoLAN officially released VLC for Android, it would have made headlines. Something to keep in mind when browsing the market.

I wish there was a way you didn't have to load every song/video in your SD card just to play one video.

My phone has internal memory, then an internal SD card (just internal memory), and then my actual SD card. The only option for scanning for files is to choose _ExternalSD, so I also have to load all 400 songs on my phone. :(
[Android Apps and Games] rockingondrums:
That shouldn't be the case... on my Rezound, when selecting a directory, I just tap on the folder (ext_sd) and then check the folders I want scanned inside of that. Don't check the box next to ext_sd, tap the name itself and select the folders within.

The latest A9 version works nicely on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 - it's the first one that doesn't close to the desktop right away. Thanks!

Now I'm wondering if I'm stupid and can't see it, or if this VLC version really has no menu button? I do remember seeing some menu button on earlier, unstabler versions... but neither in the Android 3.2 task bar on the bottom nor in the VLC top bar there's a menu icon. Weird...
[Android Apps and Games] adridu59:
No that's not weird, its because I built it against ICS API and doing so breaks menu button.

I tried to target GB API but it gave me errors and I didn't want to spend the whole day on it.
