> Hello!
> 
> First of all I want to say how awesome it is that VLC finally made its way
> into android. But that was achieved far from perfect. Here I list all the
> issues I've had so far with the app.
> 
> 1) I use a slide-out phone with full qwerty-keyboard (an Sony Ericsson
> Xperia Pro with the latest update of Android 4) and every time I either
> slide the keyboard out or in, the app re-sets itself and the video starts
> from the beginning. And that is very, very annoying.
> 
> 2) I can't forward or rewind the film. The timeline-indicator does not move.
> 
> 3) related to the issues of 2), the player lacks ability to restore
> previous sessions i.e. if I quit at 44:05, I also want to automaticly
> continue from the same point next time I switch the movie on. This also
> lacks from the computer version, but due to higher processing and
> mouse-input, that it not as big of an issue imho.
> 
> 4) The sweeping-sensitivity of this app is very poor. I compare to, what I
> think is your main rival; BS Player for android: BS Player has almost
> everything VLC should have. The only thing VLC currently does better than
> BS Player, is having a larger amount of codecs (being able to open more
> formats) and much shorter loading time: both shorter app-loading, and file
> loading speed. This is kinda sad, as VLC is the king of media players on
> desktop devices.
> 
> So this is what I would like VLC to have (in addition to the issues already
> mentioned):
> 
> - more stable software. Fix the previously mentioned issues!
> - More options for color management, software calibration and optimation.
> - Auto search for subtitles (goes for Computer-version too)
> - Audio/subtitle sync options
> - Pitch zoom
> - Better touch-sensitivity
> - Hardware acceleration
> 
> Please check out the BS Player-app to see what I mean by my comparison. I
> don't want to have two different media players on my phone, when I could
> have one VLC.
