Found another trick I'd not known of until now. Import the MP4 via VLC File Sharing in iTunes. In the FIles app I see the MP4 in the VLC folder. Tap it there and it plays in VLC - but still not shown on the Video page. Trick: Go into settings and toggle Disable automatic media grouping. Back to the ...

This sounds very similar to a problem I encountered in Windows/iTunes. Try this - KILL VLC on the iPad (bring up the list of running apps, find VLC, swipe up to terminate. Add video(s) using the method you described above. Start VLC. When I use this approach, all the files in the VLC File Sharing fo...

Wait - solved the Media Library problem too! There's another thread here I've participated in regarding uploading MULTIPLE media files to VLC and having it only recognize SOME or a RANDOM selection of the ones that were uploaded. Several had different solutions. The one that worked for me was to KIL...

This is now solved for me - see the thread mentioned above.

Update. I did a system restore to factory (which forced 16.1 on me) and then restored from backup. No change. The ONE thing I SHOULD have tried FIRST was just to uninstall/re-install VLC. Doing that on THIS iPad now lets the >| button jump to the NEXT video instead of jumping ahead 10 seconds. So th...

I may need to factory reset this iPad. When I look in the Files app, it says 3 items are in the VLC folder, but looking inside the folder it's empty except for a file that says upload files here. The iPad otherwise works ok but this behavior is very strange because I used to have allot of MP4's in t...

Pressing the next button. I only play MP4 videos. On my iPad, double-tap on the right side of the screen jumps forward a few seconds. The >| BUTTON does the SAME thing. 3.3.10 (440) I've retained an older version of VLC on my other iPad since it still allows jumping to the next video. The UI changed...

Update - I guess iPad and iPhone app are different internally. Play next video on tap of the control works on iPhone, but only jumps forward a few seconds on iPad.

weird, play next video works on iPhone, but on iPad it just jumps forward a few seconds.

With the current version this should not be reproducible - since play next button was removed.

FYI - the problem I was having above is resolved by a workaround in another thread - https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... 81#p527294

@XHLX - thanks for that tip !!! Been trying to get this working again for the past TWO years. The "important step" was exactly what I needed to do in order for me to be able to upload ALLOT of media via iTunes File Sharing with VLC. Until now, I had to upload them ONE-AT-A-TIME before they...

Forever I've been able to >>| to jump to the next item when streaming from my DLNA server. Now I can only skip ahead by 10 seconds. Was the play next option removed or am I just doing something wrong?

I updated to 14.4 a few days ago, everything worked normal for most of the week. Then just today I get the new prompt to allow VLC network access. I grant but no DLNA servers are shown. Reset all network settings, no help. Don't have a VPN. I guess uninstall/re-install is next. ...and reinstall didn...

FWIW, 3.2.11 made no difference. Maybe it's a different problem, adding to playlist vs. just adding to the app video list. Added the same 22, and although this time ALL thumbnails were instantly created, only 13 of the 22 files added appear in VLC. For this test I removed 3.1.9 then installed 3.2.11...

Further, it seems to not be a 'new' problem. That is - missing files when adding multiple at once. I'd been upgrading regularly and the app has been working fine so had no reason to expect anything was wrong. Having recently setup a new iPad, that's when all this came to light. In summary, VLC is so...

Here's an update. I've been experimenting with different recent versions of VLC. While trying to identify potential MP4's that VLC does not show after they are added I found that if I just remove that file and add it ALONE, it works. I also re-uploaded using the replace method and that worked too. S...

Sadly, I can confirm 3.2.10 does not fix my problem. I also removed and re-installed VLC. I added 5 MP4's, only 3 appear in VLC. If I go to the Files app, I see all five. Tapping either of the 2 missing from VLC from within the Files app opens the video and plays it in VLC. As I mentioned above 3.2....

Looking forward to this fix. It 'sounds' like it might fix my problem. Not added files in a long time, but just got a new iPad and filling it up. Adding files works as usual but a seemingly random sampling of them are not displayed in VLC. Using File Manager I can see that are on the device. I'm not...
