It's really nice to see that happening, but every time I raised the subject with the Gnome team to see how we could run VLC in it, it's a no-go. Indeed, for a complete media player, I need: - access to files not directly opened by

I concur. I just wish they did a version with 16GB of RAM.

This seems cool. How portable is the actual filter code? It seems to use Accelerate framework.

We should be very careful about fixing those kind of things, this is one of the biggest complaints against Windows, when you cannot shut down your machine, or boot wait a long time to boot it up, because it did the Windows Upgrade dance. Wh

We _already_ do that in the play store description, of course. That does not prevent the emails.

That too.

But, we're not an activity! That's the issue! We're a background service to play audio. And adding a new permission is the opposite of what we want.

We're already doing this. It's not enough. See our source code.

I wish it was that easy in all cases. For VLC on Android, we need the READ_PHONE_STATE permission, in order to stop the music when a phone call is coming in. We just use it to make pause on incoming call. (VLC on Android is also an audio pl

I think I fixed the "some protected videos" last week. If not, please share me a YT link.

Why a new extension? Doesn't mp4 have enough extensions? .aac, .mp4, .m4a, .m4b, .mp4v, .m4p, .m4v, .mpeg4 so far. And now .gifv? I don't get it.

Of course. But plugins are now in separated processes and plugins shouldn't autoplay (a contrario from flash).

Please report bugs :)

I agree very much, which is why I did not push too much the VLC web plugin. Yet I don't know how to solve this problem, in any another way. On the other hand, Popcorntime and other soft are getting installed by users, so maybe if plugi

> The drawback was that the source data needed to be a web friendly seekable format; you couldn't play an arbitrary video file. Maybe I should revive the VLC web plugin and the torrent input plugin :)

So, this is a server side solution?

Ahah, maybe :) However, the SBC codec library is LGPL, not GPL-only. Notice COPYING.LIB along the COPYING! Just the main sbcdec and sbcenc are pure GPL, and they are not very long files, so it's likely they rewrote those parts.

So, it seems that the complaints ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8024654 ) and ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8025561 ) have been partially heard. It fixes the Pkg-Config complaint, the Werror on

What I don't get and frustrates me, as a developer, is the impossibility to use SVG in Android. We need to handle a lot of PNGs, in result. Android is re-compiling/re-optimizing for ART, so why not re-export the SVG in PNG format,

This state of Gtk sad, but I'm really glad we (VLC) moved to Qt, a few years ago (2006), before many applications did the switch, and when it was an unpopular move. Before that time, we were using WxWidgets and had many issues, notably
