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:
- Снимаем блокировку экрана.
- Нажимаем на свободную область дисплея и удерживаем 2-3 секунды.
- Кликаем по появившейся кнопке «Виджеты».
- Листаем список до блока с VLC.
- Выбираем любой из предложенных вариантов оформления.
- 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:
- Запускаем плеер.
- Кликаем по иконке с лупой в верхней части экрана.
- 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:
- Включаем плеер.
- Переходим во вкладку аудио или видео.
- Проводим по списку вниз до появления значка сканирования.
После обработки плеер добавит файлы в общую библиотеку.
Как пользоваться режимом «Уснуть через»:
- Запускаем VLC плеер.
- Кликаем по файлу для начала воспроизведения.
- Нажимаем на кнопку с тремя точками для перехода в настройки.
- Кликаем по иконке будильника.
- 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.
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.

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?
Что такое VLC плеер
VLC Media Player – это бесплатное приложение со встроенными кодеками и широким функционалом. Проигрыватель выпускается в виде мобильной и компьютерной версии и подходит для большинства устройств.
Благодаря современной кодировке и поддержке большого количества кодеков плеер не нагружает систему во время работы и занимает минимальное количество места на внутреннем накопителе.
Плеер, установленный на устройство с операционной системой Андроид, понимает потоковое вещание. Таким образом, пользователю доступен просмотр собственной IP-камеры, радиовещания или телепередач.
Системные требования при установке на смартфон
Установить проигрыватель можно на планшетные компьютеры и смартфоны с системой Андроид. Плеер автоматически определяет мощность оборудования и выставляет показатели разрешения экрана.
Для корректной работы устройство должно соответствовать показателям:
- система Android со сборкой от 4.2 и выше;
- количество оперативной памяти – от 512 мегабайт;
- объем внутренней памяти – от 200 мегабайт.
При инсталляции проигрыватель занимает около 20 мегабайт, однако после загрузки дополнительных модулей система значительно расширяется. При обновлении плеер продолжает работу в обычном режиме. Информацию об успешном внесении изменений пользователь получает в строке с уведомлениями.
Владельцы смартфонов со слабыми характеристиками нередко отмечают зависания плеера в процессе работы. Во избежание данной проблемы следует отключить функцию аппаратного ускорения.
Для выполнения настройки:
- Запускаем ВЛС Плеер на устройстве.
- Переходим в меню с помощью нажатия на клавишу в виде трех полосок.
- Нажимаем на строчку «Настройки».
- Листаем страницу до пункта «Аппаратное ускорение».
- Переходим в настройку.
- Выбираем режим «Отключено».
Где скачать
Скачать VLC Плеер на Андроид можно несколькими способами. Самым безопасным является посещение встроенного магазина Play Маркет. Встроенная система гарантирует защиту от вирусов и автоматически предлагает последнюю версию проигрывателя.
VLC apk – файл доступен на официальном сайте разработчика, торренте или страничках с софтом. Перед скачиванием следует убедиться в безопасности ресурса и выполнить проверку с помощью антивируса.
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.

Installation
There are many ways to install VLC on Android. This may be because you have a non-ARMv7 or x86 processor or do not wish to use the Play Store for whatever reason.
From the Play Store (recommended)
The normal way, for ARMv7 (and above) and x86 processors only. Don’t know your processor? Don’t worry, if you can download it, you have a compatible ARMv7 or an x86 processor.
From VideoLAN
If you can’t download from the Play Store or just want to install the VLC .apk by yourself, follow these steps:
- Go to Android Settings → Security → Device Administration → Enable ‘Unknown Sources’
- Choose your processor architecture (ARMv7 or Intel x86) and grab the .apk file.
- Click on the .apk you just downloaded and install it.
Don’t really know your processor architecture? Try both… it’s not very clever, but it’s harmless.
None of the two work? It is possible that you have an older processor with the ARMv6 architecture. The solution for now is to install a Nightly Build release. See below.
You want want to know the future of VLC for Android?

- Go to Android Settings → Security → Device Administration → Enable ‘Unknown Sources’
- Choose your processor architecture (ARMv7, ARMv8, x86…) Don’t really know your processor architecture? Try both… it’s not very clever, but it’s harmless
- Download the chosen .apk on your device
- Click on the .apk you just download and install it.
Install a Nightly Build
You fear nothing and want our very last works on VLC ? Or you have an ARMv6 Processor and want VLC? Follow these steps:
- Go to Android Settings → Security → Device Administration → Enable ‘Unknown Sources’
- Choose your processor architecture (ARMv7, ARMv8, x86…)
- Grab the latest .apk
- Click on the .apk you just download and install it.
You may experience some weird issues but generally, it works fine. If not, please try an older nightly release, and contact us.
Using VLC in Android
When you launch the app, it will scan for all the media files on your phone/tablet and display it on the main screen. The app has evolved over time and the latest version is different than how it started out.
The main screen right now looks like a file manager. The interface displays folders like Download and Internal memory. These are sorted into categories like Favorites, Stores and Local Network. Tap on these folders like Internal Memory to access sub-folders. We can use it just like a file browser to access media files.
On the top-right, you will just see Options . The options will change according to the page that you are on. As an example, the top options for the video player and audio player is different. On the bottom of the app, you will see Video, Audio, Browse, Playlists and More .
Playing media files is easy. Just tap on the files displayed in the player (under video or audio found at the bottom). You can also directly open a media file from any other file manager. You will have the option of opening it with VLC for Android. You can set it so that those media files are always opened with VLC. There won’t be any issue with the file format and you will be able to play anything under the sky.

Then hit on Download subtitles. It will do the job automatically (if there exists a subtitle for that video).
