VLC for Android 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.
