Belated thank you to the VLC team for the 3.6.x release(s) that finally fixed the issue that skipped some tracks, double-played others, and inevitably crashed.

Oh, I see the option you're talking about now. I didn't notice it before. I never interacted with it. It's been time stretching audio the years I've used VLC for iOS until this morning, which was when the update installed, so something in the update flipped it for me. Thanks for the update.

After updating to 3.3.7, time stretching was no longer applied when changing playback speed, resulting in a "chipmunk effect" when increasing speed. I tried various things like quitting and restarting the app, rebooting, and trying different files and formats (MP3, AAC, Opus), but what end...

This happens when file names have characters in them that are beyond the base 127 ASCII character set. They're usually accented characters, like ó.

iTunes dumped the Apps functionality a few versions ago. Now there's a specific "File Sharing" sidebar option when in the device context.

Updated to iOS 11; issue persists. This was a clean install via Restore. Backup was applied.

FYI, you described the same issue I did but for me it occurs regardless of Bluetooth. Also for me, accelerating audio triggers it, although I've come to realize it'll also happen at normal speed, just at a lower failure rate. https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=140230&sid=48b538a...

Out of curiosity, were you able to reproduce the behavior? If not, I solicit suggestions to mitigate the effects. Reinstalling & rebooting has happened multiple times. I cannot jailbreak the device due to versioning. Trying to restore from backup resulted in wasted time and heartbreak. I don't k...

Well, I think the longest file I ever listened to was in the 12-16 hour range, but in this case it really doesn't matter. It's every file, at least with the set I'm using. To replicate a common scenario, I demuxed the audio from "A slight misunderstanding" from your YouTube channel: https:...

Turns out it's still carried on the server: http://get.videolan.org/vlc-iOS/2.8.1/vlc-ios-2.8.1.ipa

If you happen to want 2.7.8 instead: https://get.videolan.org/vlc-iOS/2.7.8/ ... -2.7.8.ipa

My general use case is listening to long audio-only files, mostly AAC in MP4 containers, at accelerated speed, but this issue seems to manifest regardless of size. As of the latest update, in order to get sound, I had to change my default from 200% back to 100%. I tried everything in between with th...

After testing 2.7.1: Constant crashes, especially toward the end of tracks: FIXED. Position is no longer saved: FIXED. Seeking is broken: FIXED . Tested with MP3, AAC, and Opus. Files often instantly fade out and play only after cancelling and restarting several times: FIXED . File title text overla...

A crucial piece of information that I forgot to mention when filing the report: my default playback speed is 200%. This is obviously outside the normal use case but I neglected to mention it because, to me, it's the default. In fact, this feature is basically the reason I use VLC in the first place.

Appreciate the reply, Felix. Regarding seeking behavior, I will test further against 2.7.1 when it is released. I want to say that the format doesn't matter, but I can't say with 100% confidence right now. Regarding jtapping's issue, I used to get an audio skip when locking, but that went away a few...

This report is against iPhone 4S, iOS 9.0.2. My typical use case is playing back audio only files in Opus, AAC, and MP3 formats. As far as I can tell, none of the issues are file-related. Bugs listed in order of severity: Constant crashes, especially toward the end of tracks. Crashes are of rather s...
