For everyone wondering about the new official beta on the market, I emailed the devs and got this repy:

"Hello,

We do not have access to American devices, and they are often not the same as the international ones, especially with different CPU/GPU.

As we will have a LOT of crashes already with the European phones, USA will wait a bit, but not long :)

best"

I may be wrong, but I think it disrespectful that there is so much posting in this thread about the official version available on the Market. adridu59 has been working on this for a while and I, for one, appreciate that even if it doesn't work perfectly. It is a beta and I can wait for adridu59 to improve or perfect his. If and when the official version comes out, that will be nice, but until then, I'm sticking with this.

Installed it from Google Play, as far as I understand - this is Neon ver., beta 0.0.1.

CPU is ARMv7, S3.
[Android Apps and Games] Mardon:
So you can try official nightly or jenklins build maybe one of them work for u
[Android Apps and Games] Ulverinho:
Perhaps, or maybe this feature just won't work in beta.

Anyway, thanks :good:

The VLC team blocked USA and Canada from the market version. This doesn't necessarily mean your device won't work. On Twitter they said they are blocking North American access for now because it has a lot of modified devices (carrier modifications) which the VLC team doesn't have access to in order to test. They hope to remove the restriction once bugs are cut down some on the more generic devices.

For now you can use the builds from this thread or the nightlies posted; n VLC's own site.

Try the version in the op (if it works on the gs3?) as it's a lot better than any of the official versions.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
I did and you were right, it does work better, but that toast frame is still there.:cool:

I will, I've used the versions here on my Vibrant but was not sure it would work with the processor on my S3. Can only force close, and I already know there is no toast frame.:silly::silly:
[Android Apps and Games] spunker88:
They are both offiical VLC builds compiled from source. For a while VLC was providing only the source for android so it had to be compiled by someone else. Now that VLC is providing nightly apks you are better off downloading from them as they are more up to date. Mostly stability fixes have been added in the nightlies, it doesn't force close as much as it used to.
[Android Apps and Games] nmrcy:
thanks man, its working like a charm :good:
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
Finally got around to trying the one from the OP. Won't open. I'll have to stick with the nightly build and tolerate that annoying toast frame that tells you it's a beta every time.
[Android Apps and Games] adridu59:
Nightlies are far more recent and updated code than whats in the OP.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
Yeah, I figured it would be something like that, but I remember on my Vibrant with your version there was not that annoying toast frame, so I had to try.:silly:

Are there plans for the implementation of m3u-support? It would be nice to have several playlists (e.g. with music tracks at the sd-card and/or online radio stations), which can fast selected within the directories or with links at the home screen. Correct me if I'm wrong, but until now we have only one (last) playlist and radio stations have to be loaded with their URL. Thats not very comfortable.

Second question: Is there a changelog or the like available (e.g. github activity)? Its very cool that we get a new compiled nightly every day. But without an information about the daily changes/improvements there is little reason to install or test newer builds.
[Android Apps and Games] ohnonot:
why would they want to do that?

it's most probably the other way around.

i second that. in fact i'd be glad to have any media player that is able to load .m3u and .pls files.

so far only xiiaLive is doing that (i've tried dozens). any insights? suggestions? i'm not totally happy with xiia.

also i don't understand why. it's such an easy thing on my (linux) computer, even the oldest media players support it. i must be missing something.

i was hoping vlc could be the one to bind them all...
[Android Apps and Games] x53:
MX Player can play m3u files (pls files not tested). But it shows an error message after the first start because it's meant for video files. However after rubber-stamp the error message it works flawless. At the other hand it's a video player so audio playback comfort is low and battery usage higher. So no true m3u player, but you can put a link to your favorite m3u files on your home screen and after 2 touches you hear it. At the other hand I miss skip with volume keys.

With other words m3u support under Android is still a tragedy, no one supports simple local playback but clouds everywhere.
[Android Apps and Games] ohnonot:
how do you rubber-stamp an error message? never heard that expression before.

i could not find mx player as a download here on xda - and i don't use gapps/playstore.

however it sounds like it could bring my poor little galaxy mini to its knees.

i'm using winamp rigth now, which has shoutcast support (so no playlists, but it's easy to find my beloved soma.fm), so at least all my music comes from 1 app now (although i have always hated winamps design).

sice this thread is about vlc, i'll just say it again, i'd love to see it work. vlc has been my companion across operating systems for years...

First of all great job! I think everyone is really excited to finally get VLC on android.

Just tried it on my Desire HD with IceColdSandwich 4.0.3 AOKP build.

These were my results:

.3gp (pixelated, not watchable)

.avi (perfect)

.flv (perfect)

.mp4 (pixelated, not watchable)

.webm (stuttering audio)

.mkv (1080 no way, 720 might just work but still not watchable)

.mpg/.mpeg (plays perfectly through file manager but won't show up from inside the app)

*Tried with overclocking the cpu since my ROM allows it and got slightly better performance but not as to change the final verdict on the above.

I think all the issues are hardware related, these observations are simply my experience, every device I'm sure will have different results.

For people having trouble finding the compatible .apk to download, here are 5 wikipedia lists for each processor family.

Snapdragon: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)#Current_and_future_specifications

Exynos: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exynos#List_of_historical_Samsung_SoC_and_current_Exynos_SoC

Tegra: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra#Tegra_2_series

OMAP3: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMAP#OMAP_3

OMAP4: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMAP#OMAP_4

The manufacturers and models are on the far right...

Recommendation for Snapdragon S1 is (partially) wrong.

I grabbed the 0226 version and it seems to run fine on my N1 which uses the OG Snapdragon. I tested mp3 ac3 mp4 h.264. I know I've successfully ran stuff with NEON instructions in the past and wikipedia thinks it's similar to the A8 and uses the ARMv7 instruction set.

Maybe the confusion is some people call the later MSM7xxx chips Snapdragons even though only the 7x30 chips have the same cpu core. The rest (including the 7227 that was rather popular) may have the Snapdragon gpu, but still use the old ARM11 core.

[Android Apps and Games] adwinp:
adridu, I guess you visit the vlc forums once a while

here's my feedback (share it with the vlc team)

1: BUG: scanning stops on corrupt files (0-byte media files)

2: scanning is WAY too slow

- especially on variable bitrate files

- slower on aac compared to mp3 files

- still slower on big collections (I have > 1500 audio clips on my sdcard & it took forever to scan)

- scanning video files & their thumbnail generation is VERY slow

Which leads me to the following question:

Why doesn't VLC use the android built-in mediaserver? It's very fast & removes the need for the slow & buggy scanning on vlc's side.

- you can't use VLC after each restart of the program (planned, or otherwise crash), since scanning is automatic & it won't let you use it until the collection has been refreshed

- scanning can't be disabled or enabled in backgroud mode

3: video playback stops whenever background scanning resumes

4: video doesn't automatically skip to software rendering if hardware rendering is selected in options & vlc finds a video it's can't run in hardware mode

- this makes having a mixed video collection (some in hardware, others in software) a nightmare

- thumbnail generation always crashes when dealing with such a collection

5: vlc randomly crashes on video clips (I haven't had the time to get & analyse a logcat though)

6: overlay (video info during its playback) gets rendered BEHIND the video, not on top of it.

Testing has been done on a HTC Desire HD/ICS, OC to 1.5GHz

VLC: cortex a8/neon

No issues with hardware/software rendering with other players (mx video player)
