Player UI super slow
Device Samsung Tab S T805. Android 6 Marshmallow.
Touching the screen to bring up the player controls results in a 5-10 second delay until they appear. If I hadn't found the setting to keep controls displayed until the user taps, then I wouldn't be able to use the player at all. I installed VLC years ago and couldn't use it. Now after all my favorite players MX/BS are falling behind, I gave VLC another chance only to discover that this problem still remains. Luckily I found the setting to disable the control timeout, giving the app the time it needs to display the controls (which is an eternity).
This player is fantastic but the UI is worse than some of the first android beta versions
It's embarassing when watching something with someone and explaining, "oh the device is fine, it's just a buggy app".
Thanks for looking into this. If you could have an option to disable all the animations, it could help. Also I suspect the problem occurs because you exit "Immersive" display mode (hidden status/nav bars) when displaying the controls. That operation takes a few seconds on some operating system but your APP testers seem to have missed that. Maybe there's a workaround?
Thanks /Mike
