Notes et avis

Je reste fidèle à VLC, je trouve que c'est le top mais... Je suis obligé d'enlever une étoile. Il y a une chose particulièrement énervante avec cette application : Elle ne se ferme jamais. Quand je force l'arrêt, VLC se relance automatiquement au bout d'un moment. Pareil, dès que j'entre dans un véhicule, même après avoir forcé l'arrêt de l'application, à partir du moment où mon téléphone se connecte à l'autoradio la musique est relancé. C'est très agaçant.

1 an maintenant que j'utilise cette application malgré ses bugs de coupures de musique, rien a changé, dommage que 0* n'existe pas. " Utilisateur depuis 2 ans, jamais eu aucun soucis, de très loin la meilleure appli. Seulement il y a du y avoir une MAJ a l'origine de ce soucis, mais depuis quelques semaines, la lecture s'arrête tout simplement pour la musique, pareil pour la vidéo. Achaque fois obligé de désinstaller et re installer l'application pour que ça remarche. Appli inutilisable "

Un des meilleurs et gratuit. Cinq points faibles, les sous-titres de films (gros décalage), la lecture aléatoire (qui ne l'est pas vraiment), la sélection d'un moment dans un film qui fait planter l'appli et l'appli qui ne se termine pas quand on lui demande (obliger d'aller l'arrêter via Android), décodage remote/local qui plante de temps en temps. Sinon c'est la seule appli que je connaisse qui permet de lire depuis un NAS en smb et projeter sur chromecast.
