There are only few settings in vlc which can be opened by hitting option button on android phone and choosing preferences. The lock feature should fully disable all on-screen controls except the lock button itself. The lock feature is also not efficient as when you hit on the lock icon located in the bottom-left side on the playing video, it would prevent the video from rotating to landscape or portrait mode but it is still sensitive to touch and on-screen controls fly up on the screen if the video is accidentally touched.
Instead, you can use the bottom-right control to fit the video centrally or horizontally or vertically or change its aspect ratio. You can change volume by sliding your finger upwards or downwards on the playing video but pinch to zoom feature is not there as in mx player. When watching any video, there are few onscreen controls like play/pause, next, previous, lock, fit(aspect ratio). One thing where vlc does great is the Search feature, As soon as you start typing in search box, it displays you the list of matching files in realtime so we give 5/5 points for the search feature. In the landscape mode, we see more easy navigation icons like Video, Audio, Search, Network Streaming, Directories but just look at the screenshot below and you’ll notice that ‘o’ ending of the word Video and Audio is not visible (Another bug – sign of bad design) whereas in the portrait mode, only two tabs are available with Video and Audio word rightfully displayed. Another annoying thing is that whenever you launch VLC, a dialog box pops up notifying about how buggy and unstable vlc could be since it is a beta version. Hence it has two major Tabs marked Video and Audio. It is video player as well as audio player for android phone.
This building library feature is somewhat buggy because many a time when I launch vlc on my Samsung Galaxy S2 android mobile, it shows no media files for a second which surprises me but then soon it populates the list of all files. It scans again and again after subsequent usage. When you install VLC and launch it the first time, it scans all directories to generate media library and video thumbnails and it takes good amount of time doing so but wait, this is not just one-time process. There are no confusing buttons but at the same time, UI is not rich. VLC Player Interface, UI and Functionality : VLC Player Interface, UI and Functionality :.
