The VideoLAN Forums

I think the issue is due to a setting.

For now as a workaround, disabling `Optimise item names for display` in settings under `Media Library` should do the trick.

I tried that but it didn't have any effect.

Can confirm same behaviour here. Some video files have randomly disappeared and there are no titles for the remaining files. They are now called "hdtv".

(reinstalling VLC and uploading new files has no effect)
