Classificações e resenhas

O app é excelente, sem sombra de dúvidas é o melhor player de vídeos para Android. Porém, recentemente baixei um vídeo em 4K no formato mp4 e fui reproduzir no meu PC. E funcionou tudo Ok 100%. Mas, quando fui reproduzir o mesmo vídeo no Android, só ficou a tela preta e o áudio do vídeo sendo reproduzido. O que poderá ser este problema? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Em geral, a interface é muito bem organizada. Os recursos mais atrativos são a reprodução de músicas em plano de fundo, com controles na tela de bloqueio e na área de notificação, tema escuro e suporte a reprodução de streams de rede. Uma pena que tenha desempenho inferior a de outros, como o MPV, em vídeos pesados, e a aceleração de hardware deixa a desejar, já que ainda não é suportada em muitos formatos de vídeo.

Funciona muito bem nas funções comuns, além de muitos recursos, porém notei que quando é para acessar arquivos de um servidor de mídia na rede, o VLC não memoriza o usuário e senha mesmo com "Salvar senha" marcado. Tanto que tem que digitar várias vezes para acessar qualquer arquivo ou pasta. Só esse o único problema. Outra é que poderia ter a opção para ignorar o ".nomedia" e listar todos os arquivos compatíveis independente de onde estejam.
