Under the network tab when downloading from a media server there are issues regarding the reliability of videos downloading as well as some files become hidden after downloading. Still has bugs and needs Picture in PictureĪlthough the app has been my go to for years it still has issues plaguing it from the redesign. For instance, If I want swiping up to jump forward 1 min instead of increasing volume

Instead of just turning them on and off, be able to assign what gestures do. it would be nice to have more configurable playback controls with gestures. It feels like a good use-case to cache what was watched so that you can rewatch one quickly if you wanted by pressing back once or multiples times to go back multiple videos. when playing media back in shuffle mode, pressing back used to (a few versions ago) take you to the last video you watched but it now just goes to the video before it when sorted by file name. Feels like password protect is leaving a small loophole in its privacy. If you try open open up the app again, password is requested but audio content is still playing. For example minimizing the app locks it, but content keeps playing in the background. if you have password lock on for opening VLC, it feels like content should pause or stop playing if it’s locked. It used to take between 10-20seconds to start a video file on a network drive and scrubbing/skipping forward or backward had noticeable latency - now that’s all gone, everything is near instantaneous! Scrubbing is amazing to find a specific point in a video quickly! Great update and work!

The feature is still there!Īwesome new interface, but best is the speed improvements while playing video from accessing the network. We will take a look at that Face ID problem.įor playback speed, see the triple dot button during playback. Please bring the icon back to the viewing screen! Thanks! Under the new UX/UI design, I would have to stop the video then access the playback speed under settings to adjust.

It is very disappointing because I use this feature a lot in adjusting the playback speed between 2x and 4x on the fly while screening the videos. When the VLC player for iPadOS was updated, I was surprised to see the playback speed control icon (my favourite feature) removed from the viewing screen and buried in the submenu within the settings. I have been using VLC player for a very long time and love its flexibility in customising the hot keys to my suit. FaceID works if you relaunch the app after closing it. I would appreciate if you could fix the bug that causes the FaceID to appear inconsistently when I want to unlock the VLC app.
