Comment

  • Still operational & useful, but this last update took away the ability to fast forward, turn up/down the brightness and volume with finger or knuckle (important when cooking and sticky fingers). Please restore at your next update. Thank you. Cannot play as audio only at night for bed (resting screen) anymore. Need to manually load app after audio plays to find and then hunt for the slide bar to fast forward. Why?

  • the recent version upgrades has totally ruin this app especilly for the smart TV users. I have been using it on my TV for many long time in 2022 enjoyed movies via mibox along with 5.1 surrounds. Now neither it supports 5.1 (with MKV/AC3) and often Sound gets out of sync. browsing on LAN (at Windows) is no more working. And I am afraid 4-6 months back people have been reporting all of this on VLC fourms as well but until now nothing has been done. I wish somehow I can find the old version!!!

  • Was working great until it didn't. No longer connecting to my computer and though the folders sometimes appear, they are all empty. Have tried a million things with both my computer and phone to fix but nothing has worked and I've exhausted my internet searches. Bummer as this was the only app I was happy with because there were no ads and it played directly from my own music library.

  • Terrible. PC version is second to none, despite the poor UI. Unfortunately this versions UI is like being back in the 90's. Edit... I'm updating my previous comment having tried to use it again and unfortunately it's worse than I thought the first time. I'm embarrassed to say this as someone who as worked in IT for a long time but you rarely come across an app interface as poorly thought out as this

  • VLC has been a very good app for me so far, the only problem was the lack of subtitle options and even if subtitles were provided, there has always been a problem trying to download them. I tried updating the app thinking it could solve the subtitle problem, only for it to get worse. The app wasn't respond anymore; it kept closing whenever I tried to open it. I had to clear my cache and data before it began responding again. No change at all, the subtitle problem also remains the same....pls fix

  • I've been using VLC for years on various platforms, unfortunately on my Samsung S7 the sound quality playing music is poor with distortions, popping and crackling sounds that happen sporadically. I've tried changing headphones and mobile phone to a Samsung S9+, exactly the same issues again when using VLC android. I've switched over to another android mp3 and audio player and the problems are non existent! So, speculatively it appears to be a software compatability issue, not a hardware one.
