VLC media player is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player that plays most multimedia files as well as discs, devices, and network streaming protocols.

This is a BETA version of the port of VLC media player to the Android™ platform. It plays both audio and video.

It is intended for everyone, but this version is not perfectly stable.It is still a beta, so it might kill your kitten or destroy your house, but it should be mostly fine now.Use it at your own risk. Have fun! :)

NOTA BENE–––––––––––This version is for devices with an ARMv7 CPU or a x86 CPU. ARMv6 devices will be supported in a future release.

Features––––––––––VLC for Android™ plays most local video and audio files, as well as network streams (including adaptive streaming), DVD ISOs, like the desktop version of VLC.VLC for Android has a media library for audio and video files, and allows to browse folders directly.

Really miss this version, I like it for being a smaller size than the other version. Not by much, but it makes a big difference on phones that have limited free space\memory. Perhaps a VLC Lite version would be welcomed.

Best media player despite the menu lag. The new versions don't compare. Search "vlc 0.9.10 apk download" to still use the beta. You must disable automatic app updates or it will update itself to be the new version.
