What ever happened to VLC beta? - General Questions and Answers

Back in late 2011, VideoLAN had a beta signup for VLC on android, but now all their VLC for android page says is that it's under development.
Nothing more seems to have been said regarding that. In the past changelogs for VLC, there have been minor android mentions, so what's the deal?

ESPN3 with G-Tab

Just thought I'd share
w-w-w.youtube.com/watch?v=D9BjC5NeQog
(Still can't publish outside links)...don't trust the link, I completely understand. Go to YouTube search: G Tablet ESPN
Should be the first hit.
Running:
VeganTab 5.1 Beta
DolphinHD Browser
Adobe Flash Player 10.1.120.5
Didn't work on the stock browser nor Opera, I don't know why. Although I also didn't spend a whole lot of time trouble shooting the other two browsers.
I think that's it.
Thanks to everyone here who made the G-Tab a useful device.

I've been enjoying games on ESPN3.com using the Skyfire browser. Love it. GO CUSE!!!!
ESPN3 has been working fine here since the December 24 update, and is still OK with the 3389 update. FWIW the live feeds at RT (Russia Today) (rt.com and rt.com/usa) also work very well; I was watching their coverage of the airport bombing about 15 minutes after it occurred (CNBC broke the news very quickly). And for those who believe Rush (rushlimbaugh.com) is right, my subscription to his live video feed and past programs also plays well on this stock gTablet. The broadcast audio feeds on radio.com also are good.

No Flash Player more fore Android

Last year, Adobe announced that it is going to stop the development of mobile Flash Player for Android. Adding further nails in that coffin, Adobe has now announced that Flash Player won't be supported in Android 4.1. A prime example of this is the new Nexus 7 tablet, that ships without Flash support.
Furthermore, Adobe has announced that it will cease new Flash Player downloads from the Google Play Store, starting August 15. This means you will no longer see the Flash Player in the Play Store if it is not already installed on your device. Devices that already have the Flash Player installed will continue to receive minor updates and bug fixes post August 15.
Since the Flash Player is not supported in Android 4.1, Adobe is urging users to uninstall it before updating to Android 4.1, as it will not work properly. Also, any future updates to the Flash Player will not work under Android 4.1.
So it seems the era of Flash on Android has come to an end. What was once touted as a key selling point for Android devices is now being killed by its own maker. It doesn't help that Google too wants to distance itself from this archaic technology, as seen by the lack of Flash support in Chrome for Android even under Android 4.0.
It goes without saying that Apple has been instrumental in bringing this change. Sooner or later everyone was going to realize that the emperor was wearing no clothes. It's just that Apple was the first to point this out. Hopefully, the web developers will now finally wake up and adopt more modern technologies such as HTML5 for creating web content.
This has been already mention in the Android section.
We all know about that

Is MX Player subject to today's new subtitle parsing vulnerability?

http://blog.checkpoint.com/2017/05/23/hacked-in-translation/
Seeing as how VLC, Kodi and Popcorn Time are vulnerable I figured that they are probably using the same libraries and there was a fair chance that MX Player is similarly affected. Please let us know and if so the expected timeline for a fix.

Video Players | Security breach report
Hi guys,
I don't want to alarm anyone and I'm new on this forum.
I'm not a developer of any kind but I've recently came across an article that's affecting many of the video players used in android.
Is MX player at risk and are there any measures taken to address this situation?
Thanks in advance for your assistance
Give the details of the report.
I am assuming that you're talking about the one with able to remote access victim's computer with specially prepared movie subtitles? Is that the one?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply since it's my first thread ,I cannot quote any external sources to provide more information.
The one that you're describing is exactly the one.
Thank you
Unfortunately, it was not disclosed publicly hot to exploit the issue is but I don't believe there was any indication of an Android app being affected (it requires VNC server so presumably not).
MX Player developers will need to address this one, I imagine once there are more details
My bad, actually it's already covered in https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/mx-player-subject-to-todays-subtitle-t3611258/ - MX Player is safe
Thanks for the ref post that confirm the issue covered
Regards
