VLC problem opening big m3u files

Postby erotavlas » 23 Jun 2020 17:39

Hi,
I installed the latest version of VLC on both windows and GNU/linux and it has problem about opening big m3u files (10 MBytes). MPV works well with the same file on both OS.

If I open a big m3u files that contains several thousands of channel, VLC gets stuck and I have to manually close it.
