>To make up ground, VLC is now rolling out version 2.0 on Android. According to VideoLAN Organization, the latest version of the media player offers network disk browsing, video playlists, and revamped UI elements. Another major change is the option to merge Android TV and Android versions. In simple words, you can use the Android TV interface on your phones and tablets. The team has also improved the TV interface, both in terms of aesthetics and performance.
>Here’s the official changelog:
>Introduces a large number of features, notably network disk browsing (Windows shares, UPnP, NFS, FTP, SFTP…), favorite folders and URLs, video playlists, rewritten notifications and control and a rewritten history.
>It is also a merge of Fire TV and Fire versions, so that every device can optionally get the Fire TV interface. The TV interface has been improved quite a bit too.
>Finally, it should be faster to decode and playback all video types.

Did you ever think that VLC would become the best video player AND music player on Android?
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/videolabs/vlc/vlc-2-0-0-release/
>>54921855
Can it play media from HTTP / HTTPS?
>>54922310
Oh my god it can, finally. Thanks anon.
>>54922310
yes
>>54921855
I still by and large prefer folder based music players like Clean Music
>>54923139
VLC is optionally folder-based
>>54923179
Part of the reason I like folder based is their light weight, and as good as VLC is, it's anything but "light weight"
why isnt it on the play store?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.vlc&hl=en
>>54923335
Screw that, why isn't it on their official site?

apkmirror is probably a botnet
>>54923386
Is this site even trustable? I ain't falling for no ching chong pajeet trick
>>54923303
Yeah. That extra MB on your internal partition is killer.
>>54923413
My internal partition is 400MBs, so yeah it kinda is. But when I was talking about light weight, I meant the speed of the app itself

>>54923432
When the module is not active it is. Not active.
Does vlc move to sd card and support gapless playback and adjustable crossfade timing?
>>54923401
>>54923409
>they don't know apkmirror is one of the few trustworthy apk upload sites
Do you idiots even read Android news?
>>54923470

>>54921855
>best video player AND music player on Android
Not at all, since from what I've seen they're all pretty trash. Music players especially, they're pretty much all the same thing reskinned, vlc included. Can't even edit the most basic metadata, even window's explorer can do that.
>>54923479
Don't give a shit if you are this stupid and uninformed about trustworthy sites. Don't bother using it then.
>>54923470
>trusting a sourceforge tier website and it's paid shills

>>54923580

>>54923601
>Version 1.9.0
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.videolan.vlc
Looks like F-droid is behind. Again.
>>54923608
>>54923625
>i can't wait for a few hours until it gets checked so i'll download it from the sourceforge of apks
you deserve to get shot
>>54923652
>the sourceforge of apks
What does this even mean? Doesn't everybody know apkmirror is legit?
>>54923652
>hours
>checked
For what?
>>54923652
>a few hours
I dont think you realize how slow F-droid is to update their repos.
>>54923652
This supposed 2.0 version came out 3 days ago what is taking so long? I see no mention of it on the VLC site... Just give me some fucking checksums and ill use apkmirror
>>54923847
none for you
Does it play anime well or does it shit out?
>>54921855
Can it play 480p animu ?
>>54921855
Can it play 4k or VR porn?
It's already on XDA labs.
botnet
Is it better than MX Player yet?
>>54928523
Speaking of MX, anyone ever managed to get the "download subs directly from opensubtitles" service to work on the latest version? I think it's broken.
can it play .m3u files?
It's a nice option to have but kodi does what I need. I use addons instead of saving videos on my phone.
>>54929909
I love Kodi on PC, but my experience on Android is not as good.
