Android Everywhere!

" summary

VLC demonstrates a single Android codebase running on mobile, TV, Android Auto, Chromebooks, casting, desktop mode and foldables by reusing Android media session and media browser for playback. The team built a custom Android Auto remote backend and their own DMC casting implementation (rather than Google’s SDK), and implemented Android TV navigation, picture‑in‑picture, windowed Chrome OS support and foldable layouts, with most features requiring only small changes though cross‑platform analytics are lacking.
