Возможности проигрывателя

VLC для Андроид скачать может каждый пользователь. Плеер распространяется бесплатно и не требует оформления подписки для полноценного использования. Система способна воспроизвести большинство мультимедийных файлов. Разработчики отслеживают появление ошибок и дорабатывают их в кротчайшие сроки.

В настоящее время система поддерживает  все известные форматы, в том числе MKV, MP4, MOV, Ogg, Flac, ACC. После установки пользователь получает два виджета в классической и темной теме для управления музыкой с рабочего стола.

Как прикрепить виджет:

1. Снимаем блокировку экрана.
2. Нажимаем на свободную область дисплея и удерживаем 2-3 секунды.
3. Кликаем по появившейся кнопке «Виджеты».
4. Листаем список до блока с VLC.
5. Выбираем любой из предложенных вариантов оформления.
6. Перетаскиваем виджет на рабочий стол.

После проведенной операции на рабочем пространстве появится иконка VLC и клавиши для перехода к другой композиции, запуска файла или паузы. Регулировка громкости осуществляется с помощью встроенных кнопок на боковой стороне устройства.

Программа обладает следующим функционалом:

• автоматическое сканирование внутренней памяти;
• составление списков воспроизведения;
• просмотр видео и прослушивание музыки;
• настройка уровня яркости изображения, выбор формата экрана;
• встроенный режим заполнения экрана;
• разделение файлов по композициям, жанрам, альбомам;
• настраиваемые уровни звука и предустановленные шаблоны;
• возможность просмотра Android TV путем ввода кода сетевого потока;
• автоматическое воспроизведение видео с последнего момента просмотра;
• получение обновлений через интернет и инсталляция в фоновом режиме.

Первое включение

После установки плеер автоматически создает ярлык для запуска на рабочем столе устройства. При первом включении плеер выполнит сканирование внутренней памяти, а также установленного накопителя на предмет видео- и аудио-файлов.

Для начала воспроизведения нужно кликнуть по файлу или тапнуть по кнопке запуска, расположенной в правом нижнем углу. Медиаплеер самостоятельно определит формат видео и запустит его через несколько секунд. При переходе в полноэкранный режим пользователю доступны органы управления, а также функции с помощью жестов. При необходимости можно установить таймер отключения показа или блокировку дисплея с продолжением воспроизведения.

Полезные функции

Приложение самостоятельно определяет региональные настройки устройства и инсталлируется на русском языке. Управление интуитивно понятно и не вызывает сложностей у большинства пользователей.

Среди основного функционала выделяется:

• поиск;
• продолжение воспроизведения одним касанием;
• обновление списка;
• режим «Уснуть через».

Все опции встроены в систему по умолчанию и не требуют дополнительного скачивания.

Для поиска файлов:

1. Запускаем плеер.
2. Кликаем по иконке с лупой в верхней части экрана.
3. Вбиваем точное или примерное название файла.

Система автоматически сопоставляет запрос с названием и выводит подходящие результаты на экран в виде списка или папки. Опция существенно сокращает время поиска и избавляет пользователя от прокрутки большого количества файлов.

Для продолжения воспроизведения последнего файла не требуется искать его в общем списке и кликать по рамке. При запуске приложения пользователь попадает на главный экран библиотеки. В правом нижнем углу появляется клавиша оранжевого цвета. При нажатии плеер автоматически запускает последнее видео или музыку с того момента, на котором было остановлено воспроизведение.

При добавлении новых файлов требуется выполнить сканирование внутренней памяти. Обработка занимает несколько секунд, изменения вносятся в существующий список.

Для запуска сканирования:

1. Включаем плеер.
2. Переходим во вкладку аудио или видео.
3. Проводим по списку вниз до появления значка сканирования.

После обработки плеер добавит файлы в общую библиотеку.

Как пользоваться режимом «Уснуть через»:

1. Запускаем VLC плеер.
2. Кликаем по файлу для начала воспроизведения.
3. Нажимаем на кнопку с тремя точками для перехода в настройки.
4. Кликаем по иконке будильника.
5. Задаем время и подтверждаем действие.

Плеер автоматически завершит работу через заданное время.

Пользователи мобильных устройств с системой Android часто используют VLC медиаплеер в качестве основного, заменяя им встроенное приложение. К плюсам относят бесплатное распространение, высокое быстродействие, отсутствие рекламы и воспроизведение большинства форматов. Зависания случаются только на слабых устройствах и полностью исчезают при настройке аппаратного ускорения.

About VLC for Android

VLC For Android publicly started with a beta project and now, they have launched a full-fledged app that is supported wholly by the VideoLAN team. They claim it to be the best open source video and music player that is fast and user-friendly. It already has over 100 million downloads in the Play Store. This port for Android can play any video and audio stored on your phone, tablet or any other device powered by Android. Apart from local storage, it can also access network streams, network shares, and DVD ISOs.

The video player is packed with features that allow it to play every known format. You can easily play popular formats like MKV, MP4, MOV, AVI, and Ogg. Even the lesser known formats are handled smoothly by the player. The audio player has everything it needs to be branded a great music player—equalizer, filters and a complete database to manage your MP3 files. Other dashing features that need to be mentioned are Chromecast support, playlists, the audio control widget, auto-rotation, support for audio headsets and cover art, adjustment of aspect-ratio and gestures for brightness, seeking and volume adjustments.

To top it all up, it’s not only a free app but it’s also free of any advertisement. It doesn’t even display a tiny ad. Other popular universal media players that we know of show ads but this one is a megastar. Their team of passionate volunteers is there to keep it ad-free and they publish the source code out to the public. What more can we ask for?

Установка

Уже отмечалось – данный проигрыватель для IPTV поддерживается всеми известными платформами. Но для каждой свой процесс закачки, поэтому все их требуется рассмотреть отдельно.

Телевизор

На сегодняшний день доступны ТВ-приемники с большим выбором прошивок под IPTV, и на каждую существует свой подход к установке VLC плеера.

LG

Как установить плеер VLC на телевизоры LG NetcastOS можно прочитать в разделе Android TV, способ для которого описан ниже.

Что касается новых моделей на платформе WebOS, то в магазине приложений Content Store он отсутствует. Смотреть видео в VLC на таком телевизоре LG можно только через другое устройство, используя технологию дублирования. Пример использования на другом приложении в теме ниже.

Как транслировать видео с Youtube на телевизор.

Samsung

Установить проигрыватель VLC на телевизор Самсунг TizenOS или OrsayTV можно в магазине приложений Samsung Apps:

• открыть Smart Hub (центральная кнопка у пульта);
• перейти в сервис виджетов;
• через поиск найти по названию и открыть его;
• на следующей странице нажать «Установка».

После закачки телевизор перезагрузится и только что установленный плеер можно найти на панели Смарт Хаб.

Компьютеры и ноутбуки

Установка VLC проигрывателя для ПК с OS Windows 7/8/10 и macOS доступна на официальном сайте разработчика – https://www.videolan.org/vlc. По завершению в памяти компьютера сохранится инсталлятор.

Если место записи неизвестно, тогда можно в браузере зайти в загруженные файлы и выбрать команду для открытия папки размещения (например, в браузере Google Chrome это «Показать в папке»).

Внимание! После загрузки НЕ запускать инсталлятор. В процессе установки потребуется выполнить некоторые действия, о которых будет сообщено ниже.

ТВ приставки

В отличие от телевизоров, у Smart ресиверов установлены другие типы прошивок. Следовательно, и закачка любых приложений происходит иначе.

Apple TV

Плеер VLC доступен для всех приставок на платформе tvOS, начиная с 4-го поколения. На более ранние версии устройств можно организовать дублирование экрана со своего гаджета.

Установить его на Apple TV можно в AppStore — https://apps.apple.com/ru/app/vlc-for-mobile/id650377962. Эту же программу (VLC for Mobile) можно установить на телефоны iPhone и iPad.

Универсальные платформы

Ниже рассматривается способ установки VLC и настройки IPTV на операционные системы, которыми оснащаются несколько типов устройств.

Android

Но этой платформе работают почти все Smart приставки, смартфоны, а также бюджетные телевизоры. У некоторых телевизоров (LG, Philips) может быть оригинальный интерфейс и даже фирменный магазин виджетов – но прошивка одна, Android TV.

Как установить VLC на Андроид устройства – порядок действий:

• убедиться в работе интернета для онлайн загрузок;
• открыть приложение Google Play и войти в Google-аккаунт;
• в поисковой строке ввести название и в результатах перейти на страницу приложения;
• нажать на «Установить».

Когда нажатая кнопка сменится на «Открыть», плеер будет установлен и его можно найти в списке приложений.

Стоит отметить, что между платформами Android и Android TV технической разницы нет, и вторая упоминается лишь в качестве определения устройства (для Смарт ТВ). В Плей Маркете только один плеер для любого оборудования.

Linux

Эта операционная система присутствует на компьютерах, некоторых телевизорах, а также современных ТВ приставках. Независимо от используемого устройства придется использовать WEB-браузер, т.к. скачать плеер можно только на официальном сайте — https://www.videolan.org/vlc/.

Стоит отметить, что есть вариант проигрывателя для различных версий ОС на основе GNU-ядра (Mint, Ubuntu и др.).

The Audio Player Interface

The audio player interface is as simple as it gets. Tap on the Audio button on the bottom of the main interface. It will switch to the audio player. Open up an MP3 file and you will know how easy it is to navigate through it using the player. The basic controls of playing/pausing and previous and next tracks are right there in the bottom. Choose to repeat the entire playlist, the current playing track or disable repeating using the bottom right option.

On the top of the audio player, you will find options related to casting, searching and more options. Under more options, you can Resume playback, Sort by Name, Display in list or Display in grid, Show all artists, and Refresh. Then, you will find the tabbed menu under which you can sort and display by Artists, Albums, Tracks, and Genres. MP3 files should have the ID3 tags set up to display correctly under these tabbed lists.

Options for Audio Player

When an audio is playing, you will find an options menu on the top-right. Under that, you can set the following options-

• Sleep timer: Shut off the player after a certain time.
• Playback speed: Play the MP3 in between 0.25x to 4x speed.
• Jump to time: Jump to a specific time in an audio file. Useful if you access audio books via VLC.
• Equalizer: Access equalizer to spice up your audio playback.
• A-B repeat: Repeat a section of an audio continuously.
• Save playlist: Save the current playlist into a new or existing list.

Options for a Single Audio (not playlist audio)

• Append: Append it to the end of the playlist.
• Information: File length and size.
• Insert next: Play the track next.
• Add to Playlist: Add it to a new or existing list.
• Set as ringtone: Set it as your device’s call tone.
• Delete: Delete the file from storage.
• Share: Share the file with an external application.

Options for a Single Audio in the playlist

• Information: Display file length and size.
• Add to Playlist: Add to a new or existing playlist.
• Set as ringtone: Set it as your phone’s ringtone.
• Remove: Remove it from the playlist (not the device)

The VLC media player has come a long way from being an MKV player on your PC to VLC for Android smartphones. The best thing about this android video player is that it is totally free. Also, it is an open-source cross-platform multimedia player that plays most multimedia files and network streaming protocols.

Features VLC media player:

The VLC media player is free of cost, without ads and in-app purchases. Also, its source code is available for free. You can easily download and add subtitles to your movies. The app also offers Gesture control which enables its user to adjust volume and brightness with gestures.

Starting with the video playback, users can easily lock the menu when viewing a movie or a video on VLC. This gives you a perfect viewing experience without any distractions from the menu. Add subtitles easily with the touch of a button. Not only this you can download subtitles directly from the VLC menu while watching the video.

Set a sleep timer and VLC will automatically take care of your device in case you fall asleep. This will also show a pop-up and will remind you to take some rest. Change the playback speed easily, increase or decrease it according to your liking. Users can easily fast forward with the jump button.

To enhance the audio quality you can tweak the equalizer and set it according to your video genre. The latest update also supports the background play mode. just play a video and minimize it while you browse something else on your phone. Or you can simply pop up a floating video and enjoy the picture in picture mode.

Formats and Cross-Platform Support:

VLC for Android plays most local videos and audio files, as well as network streams (including adaptive streaming), DVD ISOs, like the desktop version of VLC. It also supports disk shares. Using the VLC Player for android you can play video formats such as Mkv, mp4, MOV, Avi, Ogg, FLAC, ts, m2ts, WV, aac, etc. Codecs are available without any further downloading. With the VLC media library for both audio and video files, the user can search through folders directly.

All of this is supported by a built-in media library that browses your device folders and collects and sorts all your audio and video files into a single place for easy access and listening. You can use the VLC media player for android as an audio player on the go. It has support for multi-track audio and subtitles.

But like all other apps, it does require access to your own phone and SD card storage in order to browse and access files. But it is still a good app for entertainment purposes. For more information about VLC for android visit videolan.org.

Considerations:

• VLC, unlike MX Player, does not show directories that contain video only. Users think that adding this feature will make VLC a better app.
• Users complain that Casting Icon often fails to appear.
• The recent updates have excluded the Quick Buttons for the locked screens.
• Video stops midway when orientation is changed. The problem started with the new update.

Android version of the popular media player for Android

VLC for Android is a version of the popular media player, for mobile devices running the Google operating system.

Work in progress

This version of VLC for Android is still in development stages and, as a message warns when you launch the app, it is not stable and can cause problems if you don’t know what you’re doing with it. I’ve experienced glitches on several occasions and, in one instance, it froze our Motorola Xoom completely in testing, though the ride on a Nexus 10 seems much smoother.

When it’s working, VLC for Android makes for a good alternative to the stock Android media player. It handles a decent range of file formats (audio, video, and streaming media), and has the same minimalist interface as the desktop version (in black or white). It also supports subtitle files and offers hardware acceleration automatically (though this can be disabled).

Smooth controls

The video player window in VLC for Android is well designed, playing video at full screen resolution (or at a ratio of your choosing), with gesture-based controls for changing volume and brightness settings. You can scrobble through videos simply by sliding your finger across the screen.

Video-wise, VLC for Android supports a range of formats and playback of these is generally very smooth. However, full HD video is not officially supported, and we found watching certain 1080p movies to be impossible due to lag, or simply getting a black screen.

VLC for Android performs better when handling audio files, with simple player controls and a widget that gives you basic controls from your home screen.

I hope that when we see the first stable release of VLC for Android, the app will be loaded with support for Chromecast. Until then, if you’re looking to cast from your device to your TV, I’d recommend RealPlayer Cloud or Plex.

A promising start

There’s no question that VLC for Android is very rough around the edges, and you’ll likely encounter problems if you want to play HD video. However, as an early build, it shows signs of emulating the success of the desktop version of VLC.

This release fixes crashes, lockscreen widget, AVI, MP4 playback and bluetooth control.The 0.9.x series is a major release with hardware decoding and a new interface available in dark or white colors. It integrates DVD ISO and menu support, an equalizer, playlist management, WiDi screens support and updated SD cards detection.Hardware acceleration is now enabled by default on Android 4.3 upwards and has better subtitles support. Software decoding has been accelerated too.
