On: VLC 2.2.0 multi-releases

I think it's a bit much to hold them accountable for poorly edited articles on venture beat. A hostile user experience is a world without open video players.

The Play Store page could just start with "This software is currently in private beta, and only installable by our testers." How is anybody who arrives at that page supposed to figure it out?

As for poorly edited, here is the press release: http://www.videolan.org/press/vlc-2.2.0.html

It says the Android version is released today. Note no mention that Android is in beta, limited to testers only or anything similar.

I have no issue with VLC and like it well. They have done a great new release, which is welcome. They even went to the trouble of writing a long press release, getting quotes, and apparently talking to people at venture beat.

But then prevent installation of the android version without any clue as to why, undermining that previous effort.

It's a temporary issue and we're having issues to fix it. But we're working on it :)
