release notes
VLC on Android 1.6 is a major update to VLC
We've worked a lot to improve the internal decoding speed and the interface speed, and at the same time, prepare for Android 6.0.
The number of permissions needed were reduced, especially for KitKat (4.4) and more recent.
We've accelerated the video playback speed, for 4K support.
The interface was cleaned and speed up, with more Material look.
And a few new features, like USB auto-detection, better audio/video sync or better chapters support.

VLC now supports the background playback for video. Audio Delay control is also activated.
There is a new look in the audio player, in the side bar, a new Album View, an improved search behavior, more Lollipop effects, a simplified the video player controller and a new file browser.
On the backend, we fixed hardware acceleration for TS files, we support audio scrobblers, fixed SD cards browsing, added better logging and updated codecs.
