VLC for Android updated (1.3.2) with background video playback support and updated interface

The VLC media player is a cross platform multimedia player with support for several video formats. VLC for Android has been updated to version 1.3.2 which brings multiple visual improvements, as well as some tweaks to the playback engine.

The main addition to the update is the ability to play videos in the background. This is very useful if you want to take care of another task on your device, with the audio running in the background.

Previously, VLC for Android would stop video playback when the user pressed the back or the home button, just like many other video players available for Android. This feature is not turned on by default, and should be enabled by heading over to Settings > Interface > Play videos in background.

The update also introduces a new interface for the audio player, a new Album View, more animations, a new file browser, as well as an improved search functionality. The update also fixes an issue with hardware acceleration for TS video files, updates codecs, and fixes SD card browsing.

You can download the update directly on your Android device through the Google Play Store or by using the following link:
