This will be changed in VLC 4.0. You will be able to sort the media library and the playlist by filename.

The Play Store and current Play Services, on the existing devices, sure. Anything else, including OS security updates (the security they talk about is Play Protect, not updates), or new major versions of Android (Q) for existing devices, or

Absolutely not. We said our updater using HTTP is secure, since the updates are cryptographically signed, like APT. The first download is HTTPS-all-the-way since a long time: search engines get you the HTTPS version of videolan.org that red

After porting VLC on so many platforms, to be honest, working on Android applications is not too bad. Notably compared to other mobile platforms. The tools and IDE are quite good (they need a lot of RAM though), the deployment is easy, the

> largely irrelevant outside of media benchmarks. I disagree. SIMD can be used in numerous cases, and not only in games/video. And to the end user, it does not matter which part of the CPU/GPU is used.

by jbk 8y ago
This is 100% correct. But the article does not speak only about perf/watt, but absolute perf too.
314.
by jbk 8y ago
From what we are seeing with the AV1 video decoder dav1d, where we wrote a lot of assembly by hand, the A12X can do 40 fps when a desktop can go beyond 120fps. (4cores) So, it is getting closer than ever before, but we're still quite f

Is there a matte display option this time?

by jbk 8y ago
Of course not. The response is GPG-signed.

by jbk 8y ago
Absolutely not: the installer blocks downgrade attacks.
318.
by jbk 8y ago
This attack-to-not-latest exists, but it's very rare, since 99% of the security issue we have are in all versions of VLC, because of old code (2000s) in VLC and libavcodec. It could happen, sure, but that is very far from the "OMG

The commenter is incorrect.

by jbk 8y ago
We do block downgrade attacks in the installer. What you can do is freeze the update, but HTTPS will not change that.
322.
by jbk 8y ago
Because the update is secured with GPG, not with the HTTP part.
