I have vlc for android 3.6.3 installed on a SEI Robotics - TVision HUB v2 which runs Google TV. It has remote access 0.1.0 available. I use remote access from my laptop to control it and am seeing inconsistent operation. I have a number of internet radio streams saved and switch among them over the ...

Looks like you're trying to access an external SD card. What is your Android version ? Did you allow File Access permission to VLC ? https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=162689 For your logs you can use a third party site like Pastebin.com or on Justpaste.it . It is a TVision HUB run...

An m3u playlist that I have been able to load and play in the past is no longer loading! This worked for the past four months but stopped working a few days ago. There are no problems with the files pointed to in the playlist as you can see from the following: SEI700TM:/storage/FA29-7738/Music $ cat...

Has the medialibrary team created an issue for this? Do they need any additional information from me to recreate it and develop a fix?

Dave

Does the behavior I am seeing give the medialibrary team what they need to track this down and correct it? If not, tell me what else I can do.

Dave

Someone from the medialibrary team is looking into it. In the meantime, could you please tell me what happens if you try to launch the playlist from the in-app browser? If it fails the same way, could you please share some logs again? Launching from the browser does load the entire playlist. Behavi...

Ok! If all the tracks are not shown here, it's a medialibrary issue then. Could you list the files in /storage/FA29-7738/Music/Beethoven/Symp_1/ ? Can debugging be enabled for the medialibrary module? If the problem is there I would expect a debug log to show what is causing it to return only the f...

Also, to be clear, there is only one Beethoven.m3u on the system: SEI700TM:/storage/FA29-7738 $ find ../emulated/0/Music/ -name 'Beethoven.m3u' SEI700TM:/storage/FA29-7738 $ find . -name 'Beethoven.m3u' ./Music/Beethoven.m3u SEI700TM:/storage/FA29-7738 $ So there is no possibility of a file of the s...

The image should be above, don't know why it isn't showing. Here is a link:

Dave

I don't get it. The logs doesn't show any playback other than the first track, nor any error. How do you start your playlist: could you tell me exactly where you go in the app and on what you click? The error occurs during the processing to load the m3u file. As you can see from my post on 23 April...

Did the latest logs I finally figured out how to copy/paste and make available shed any light on this? This whole issue is a puzzle, as my post on 23 April at 20:23 shows that each line of the m3u file in question references an accessible file. Why only the first line is being loaded into the playli...

OK, I did the following: 1) Start Logging 2) Clear log 3) goto playlists and load one playlist 4) back up and load the Beethoven playlist (only the first file shows up to be played) 5) started playback 6) copied log to clipboard Here is the log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nwrdb3mkaod80am/2023-05-23_v...

I have tried multiple times to create the requested logcat and none of them have created a file in the storage root directory. Given this either the file is being created elsewhere or is not being created at all. At this point I suspect it is not being created for some reason. Look at the following ...

I don't know why hitting that "DUMP LOGCAT LOG" button does not create the file you want where you say it should be created. I don't know if it is simply not being created due to some sort of permission problem or if it is being created elsewhere in my file system. I should note that I DO ...

You probably didn't tap the "Dump" button

I did hit it. After I did so the shading shifted from the "START LOGGING" button to the "DUMP LOGCAT LOG" button.

Could something be different in this particular system?

Dave

No, it should be at the root of your internal memory. Something like /storage/emulated/0/vlc_logcat_[XXX].log Perhaps it should be, but it isn't there. I also confirmed I can write a file there.

It will be on the device on which VLC is installed, at— /Android/data/org.videolan.vlc.debug/files Unfortunately that does not appear to be the case here. Here is what I get with adb: SEI700TM:/storage/emulated/0/Android/data $ ls ls: .: Permission denied 1|SEI700TM:/storage/emulated/0/Android/data...

1. Start logging 2. reproduce the issue (wait after the first track) 3. Dump logcat 4. Share the generated file Followed steps 1-3, but don't see the generated file anywhere using the Wireless File Manager. Where specifically should it be. It is definitely NOT in the root as shown in the linked thr...

Sorry I missed your logs. There is no playback logs in it. You should share the logs generated by the application. Reproduce the issue and then go to: Settings > Advanced > Debug logs. To retrieve the logs on Android TV, you should follow this: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=15...
