When using VLC 3.5.0 through Android Auto (Android 12, 2021 Toyota Prius) it it not possible to fast forward holding down the steering wheel next or back buttons. It does not work with the head unit either. Holding down the button advances two tracks or skips back two tracks depending on the button.

The aim is indeed to have the same behavior between the app and its auto counterpart. I started a discussion about it here: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android/-/issues/2048 Thanks for the link. I don't like "Play from here" as discussed in that issue. It's inconsistent with de...

I am not sure what the correct fix should be in that case. It seems a bit off to start a whole list by taping an item VLC's behavior on the phone's screen is perfect. It's perfect because it keeps the behavior users are familiar with from other ubiquitous playback devices (iPods, CD players, etc.) ...

For some reason when I browse my library by artist and drill down through artist->album->song and choose a song to play, I get two different behaviors depending on whether I'm using VLC on my phone's screen or if I'm using it through Android Auto on my car's screen. On my phone's screen when the tra...

It also works correctly if the files are named with an .opus extension, but it does not work if they're named with an .ogg extension.

It's something to do with the Opus/Ogg format. When I try with MP3 it works as expected.

It doesn't seem to work on my device. For example, here's Pink Floyd's The Wall is displayed: Here is a screenshot from Foobar2k showing the metadata: Note how the tracks from disc 1 and disc 2 are intermingled. How are you getting that "Disc 1" heading? I have around 30 multi-disc albums ...

It does not work that way on Android 7.1.3. When I sort by filename it still lists them as I describe, even though they're named as I have shown.

I don't need to edit the metadata with VLC as it is all there and correct already, including disc number.

I tried creating subfolders (e.g., Disc 1, Disc 2, etc.), but that caused VLC to list them as separate albums.

I have an album comprised of 5 discs. The metadata for each track contains the disc number, the track number, and the total number of discs. The files are also named with the disc number, the track number, and the track title. For example, the tracks are named like this: 1.01 Track 1 Title.ogg 1.02 ...
