I dont have a computer, so VLC on android is all I have seen of VLC.
My love affair with the app (vlc) has been strained many times, but when I was trying out MT Manager I accidently discovered the media players in it (fully expecting my default players to play upon file selection) and noticed that there were no droppouts in what I had suspected was just a 'bad copy'.
I double checked, and the dropouts reappear when played with VLC.
Also, Fossify Gallery wont play one video after another and VLC is fickle to make it do so.
Funny enough, it's a simple toggle switch (in video player mode) setting on MT Manager.
I had a version of MTK Manager on an old phone before, but it wont work on my newer devices. So I looked for an updated version and found MT Manager, and it seems to be the same thing.
I guess that there are not as many 'features', but in reality I use hardly any of the extra junk that VLC offers.
The EQ is not useful due to the Audio Effects apps that most (even cheap) devices have, and 90% of the other crap also seems superfluous.
Not to mention the clunky file browser you are stuck with
And I cannot stress enough how tired I was waiting for VLC to constantly load my media.
Holy hell, if I changed from VLC to another app and back again it was another 2-3 minute wait for my film selection to begin playing, watching an ugly orange cone spinning around. VLC has the memory of a goldfish evidently.
Both Fossify Gallery and MT Manager will start a selection immediately, and dont seem to need hardly any time to get their $#!+ together and start.
VLC acts like it needs some Ritalin or something.
Usually I will hang on to an app that I used for a while, in case I decide to go back to it, but I have had problems with VLC before so I uninstalled that thing like a broken toilet- with about as much care.
I've seen quite enough orange cones out on the road and have no interest to see them on my phone.
