The VLC interface for Mac is lightweight, fast, and simple with a single window for everything. Simple interface and easy basic functionality Users can also use VLC to convert files and, in addition to all the formats and physical media it will play, many streaming protocols are supported. It can also play audio CDs, DVDs, and BluRay discs, ignoring region codes.īecause the software plays almost anything, VLC is a great alternative to iTunes, RealPlayer, and Quicktime. VLC plays most codecs with no codec packs required, including MPEG-2, MPEG-4/Xvid, H.264, MKV, WebM, WMV, and MP3. Click that and a message says 'this app can record audio using the microphone while the app is in use.' This is just an example app and permission.VLC Media Player can play video or music files in just about any format from MPEG to FLV, MKV, and RMBV files. The first permission in the list is microphone and just below that shows record audio. Now click the three dot menu in the top right and go to the all permission screen. For VLC, microphone, network, notifications, and sensors are shown under not allowed. Here, no permissions allowed is shown under allowed permissions. Click that and you're now on the app permissions screen.

On the App info screen under permissions the text shows no permissions granted. VLC and every app I check seems to have contradictory permissions between these two lists. There is one thread started on Reddit that was shut down without an answer or redirect. Are the permissions shown on the all permissions screen for the app just those possible and the ones on the app permissions screen the ones the app is actually allowed to use? Seems like this must be the case but I can't find any documentation or discussion about this.
