VLC Beta (NEON version)


Description
VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player that plays most multimedia files as well as discs, devices, and network streaming protocols.
This is a BETA version of the port to the Android™ platform. It is intended for power users and hackers. This version is NOT stable and is slower than the final version.
It might kill your kitten, destroy your house and start the mayan apocalypse.
Use it at your own risk. Have Fun! :)
