all video files supported in VLC, including MKV and DVD ISOs,
all audio files supported in VLC, including FLAC and other weird audio formats,
subtitles files, from SRT to SSA and with auto-detection, when possible,
a media database like on Android and iOS to select the right medias, and resume playback,
playback of streams, local and on the internet, include adaptive streaming like HLS or DASH,
we also support playlists, accelerated playback, audio equalizer, audio/video synchronization and hardware accelerated video/audio decoding.
You won't find the familiar "cast" button that you see in many apps in this VLC build. Instead, the "Tools" menu has a new option called "Render Output"—this screen is for playing media on something other than the computer screen in front of you. It will detect and display Chromecasts on your local network, and the detection process seems to work great. You just pick the device you want to use and hit "OK."
Get Nightlies from here.
VLC on Android 2.0.0
2.0 introduces a large number of features, notably network disk browsing (Windows shares, UPnP, NFS, FTP, SFTP...), favorite folders and URLs, video playlists, popup video, new permissions support, subtitles download, rewritten notifications and control, and a rewritten history.
The Android TV and Android versions were merged, so that every device can optionally get the updated Android TV interface.
Finally, it should be faster to decode and playback all video types.
