Agreed it's not the VLC version. I have the same version (VLC 3.0.13) on an android phone and on an android tv box. On the phone, I can choose between normal or tv interface. On the TV box the switch in settings simply isn't there and it forces the TV interface option with no way to select the norma...

Hi Unidan, For myself , the icons look really 'clunky' on the TV that I'm using and don't fit on the display properly. A list (as per the normal interface) is perfect, but I cannot enable it because the settings toggle is suppressed. VLC thinks it knows better than me, but it doesn't! Re-enabling th...

Hi Unidan, I have to disagree. The correct fix is to allow the user to choose the interface that best suits. There are so many variations of use - screen size, screen resolution, screen/viewer distance, plus the use to which the display is put (music or video), that the best chooser of which interfa...

Not yet. I've been monitoring this thread for a few months now, and no progress so far. It can't be that difficult to do, as it is currently switching something off that we know to be there.

I use the 'normal' interface and that's all fine! On my TV box, it forces it to TV interface despite there being a keyboard a...

I'm still in the queue for a solution to this, and it's been 2 months. Happy to wait for my turn. Just waiting for a fix, toggle setting, or workaround.

Hi Dekans, and thanks for the reply! I can see why that might cause VLC to default to the TV-style interface, but surely it wouldn't completely disable the alternative? After all, I wouldn't want to enable the regular interface if I had no way of controlling it. You're right that it's running on a T...

Hi to everyone. First post, so please be gentle! I like the 'standard' VLC interface, but can't get on with the TV version of the interface. (I'm using it on a fairly small TV) My Samsung S7 phone does NOT use the TV interface. I can go into Preferences/Interface' and there is the option to select o...
