Android 8 has doze but it's not a problem for VLC:

Android 8 Doze: apps can be blacklisted so that they don't get killed, API: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42651399/3422837

Huawei adds a very aggressive background app killer, this means that apps like VLC and WhatsApp don't work in background. I have a low end Huawei device for testing purposes (hint hint), there is a setting to whitelist apps from huawei's appkiller but they get killed anyway.
