I have updated to VLC 3.4.0 (580) and can not playback Videos neither locally stored on the iPhone Pro 12 or via SMB from the Fritzbox attached NAS anymore. After deinstallation and new installation, they show up with black screen with sound. Minimizing by tipping the X and then re-enlarging the nar...

Thank you for the prompt bugfixes with today’s update. Upnp with Fritzbox works now. That eases the usage of VLC in a lot of cases.

1. Accessing a FRITZ!Mediaserver (UPnP) does not work for me. In the iOS version it shows up but when trying to browse the content I just get the message "Control&ObjectID=0". Reinstalling the app did not help (I allowed it to access my network when iOS asked) and on tvOS the UPnP-Ser...

Thank you very much, looking forward to that fix.
Please don‘t forget about the huge market share that AVM has at least in Germany with Fritzboxes, if not in central western Europe, while implementing new features.

Hi Team, got today’s update 3.3.0 (418) and the replaced Upnp-Library doesn‘t seem to work with AVM Fritzbox (7490) with current firmware. It shows up the Fritzbox Upnp in the list but if I choose it, there‘s a page showing up „Control&ObjectID=0“ with no further options. I already saw some more...

Is there anybody out there who has similar problems or could test it? Since I have these issues on two setups, I wouldn‘t think that I‘m alone with this. And AVM Fritzboxes are most likely the most sold routers at least in Germany. Thanks for help.

Hi Team, I face problems again with VLC connecting to two different Fritz Box Routers (7490 and 7590) attached HDDs, this time on two different FireTV sticks (Full-HD and 4K), all devices running on actual firm- and software. VLC does not show up any files at all but the internal demonstration files...

This Thread has been opened now almost one year back and been confirmed by multiple users. Is there a chance that it will be fixed? At least a reply that it‘s been acknowledged would be nice.
Thank you!

I think this didn‘t happen on last year‘s versions but I am not sure. VLC 1.3.4: Dolby Digital sound get‘s converted to PCM obviously on FireTv https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=147553

FireOS 5.2.7.1 (current version as of today) FireTV-Stick second generation (Full-HD-Version) attached with HDMI to a HDMI 1.3a Denon AVR VLC 3.1.4 VLC Rev. 71296e9ea VLC: 94bc8e707 (2019-05-02) VLC does not play FLAC audio files but restarts itself. Stored FLACs on an AVM Fritzbox AV-Server attache...

Yep, I can confirm the problem. Dolby Digital get‘s converted to PCM Bitstream according to the sound input status of my Denon AVR. I tried different source materials from which I know, e. g. my Raspberry Pi with Kodi plays correctly. The files are stored on AVM Fritzbox AV-Server attached HDD. This...

Thank you very much!
It‘s sad that there wasn‘t anymore support by AVM but some links...

You both are not alone. I linked this thread at
https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=144060
Let‘s hope that they find the time to fix it finally soon.

It seems as if there were other users affected already more than one year ago. I found this thread https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=144060 which obviously did not ever get any reply. It would be great to see that fixed soon. I‘d appreciate and suggest a collaboration with the developers of...

@Felix: If this is a bug in VLC for iOS, I wonder if this appears in connection with other manufacturers of UPnP-/NAS Servers, aside from AVM Fritzboxes. In the meantime I face problems with accessing the same libraries with VLC on the FireTV-Stick. I wonder if this is related or not - then I‘d open...

I referred to AVM’s support team (manufacturer of the FritzBoxes). After several days of analysis in second and third level they replied that the error is located in the client. The Fritzboxes always deliver 50 items per request to prevent overloads in networks or clients. They declare this method a...

Saw todays’ VLC for iOS update but it seems as if this bug did not get fixed?
Changelog isn‘t telling too much.

That would be great. Thanks a lot.

I’d guess they are UPnP, since I am not an expert. The Fritzbox with the NAS drive is set to run as Media Server, stating that the playing device must support Standard UPnP. And when I use VLC (connecting with UPnP) on the FireTV stick, I have full access to all approx 200 files and directories in t...

Hi There, First a big ‘Thank You’ to all the contributors of VLC. Actually I have an issue with the current iOS version of VLC Version: 3.1.7 (322) on two different iPhones in combination with NAS functions of the at least in Germany very popular AVM Fritzboxes 7490 and 7590. I have more than 50 obj...
