VideoLAN, the company behind popular cross-platform media player VLC, is none too pleased with Huawei at the moment.
According to VideoLAN, new Huawei devices are killing all background apps except the smartphone maker’s own proprietary software, a policy VideoLAN calls “ridiculous.”
If true, this would certainly be problematic for an app like VLC – like many audio playback apps, it relies on background functionality to play sound when another app (such as a web browser) is in focus.
