[vlc-devel] libvlc stuttering issue on android

[Thomas Guillem]

Hello Nick, 

This issue should be fixed in VLC 4.0 since we switched to the new output clock (no more audio ressampling or silence to adjust the av sync delay).

Unfortunately, there is not vlc-android build with VLC 4.0 yet. You could build one but there are some build issues.

Then playback proceeds in a normal way. This issue affects the performance in a very unpleasant way: for a user, switching between TV channels it looks like constant stammers.
