Re: 3.0.12 Edited tags/metadata are not saved

I am running v3.0.20 and have (basically) the same issue. I was trying to add the cover image to a series of videos — the image that displays in a media player before playing the video and the icon which displays in file manager before opening the file. However, I ran into a few difficulties: ]1) If...

Converting video cuts first 10 s of video (audio unaffected)

I needed to downsize a 20 minute 700 Mb video to under 300 Mb and decided to use VLC. It worked fine, except that the first 10 seconds of video was replaced by a black screen - after that the video was fine, but I am missing the first 10 seconds (audio was fine from the start). I tried various diffe...

Re: Media library folder selection on sdcard is dropped

I checked my install, it shows: last updated November 3, 2022 — not sure that version that is. I didn't sign-up for Beta (so far), so I am wondering if there is a new public release pending that might fix the folder dropping issues...

Re: Multiple media sources cannot be played

Actually, I cleared cache (possibly also data) and, since then, the problem has disappeared. I recall that, before I cleared cache, that every time I did a forced stop, then re-launch — that it would ask me if I wanted to resume playing a track (I forget what track) — and that this was a track that ...

Re: Media library folder selection on sdcard is dropped

@Skantes — @Aza asked me to do this a year ago, but nothing was revealed, maybe you should cross-check with them. https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=158902#p523845 Actually, I think it would be necessary to do a real-time trace to trap this bug. It seems possible to select a media l...

Re: Media library folder selection on sdcard is dropped

I am beginning to suspect that the probelm may lie with a media file, possibly some artifact of the file name. Well, this is a potential hypotheis. Anyway, I renamed my music folder from "Music" to "Music one" — then created a parallel folder "Music two" — and I am movi...

Re: Media library folder selection on sdcard is dropped

I too unchecked this;
Do you mean:
  • Settings > Media library > Auto rescan (?)
In my install, this is unchecked — I believe that is as it has always been.

Re: Media library folder selection on sdcard is dropped

Checking: More > Settings > Interface > I see the option: Show missing medias Show distant medias even if they are not present. Incidentally, "medias" is discouraged since "media" is already plural — plural of "medium." So, what exactly is "distant medias" — w...

Re: Media library folder selection on sdcard is dropped

What, exactly, do you mean by: title ellipsize Do you mean a song title, something like: "It’s Not Over… The Hits So Far" If tbe bug is triggered by, say, an ellipsis character (…) being added to a media file name, that may suggest that the indexing algorithm trips up if it sees an extende...

Re: Media library folder selection on sdcard is dropped

This bug has existed, at least, since January 2022. The strange thing is that it only seems to affect SD card memory, not internal memory, and, it does not occur for all folders. For example, I have separate folders for audio books, videos and music, per: * [SD card] > Media > Audio books * [SD card...

Re: Media library folder cannot be selected

This issue has not been resolved. Last year I did a work-around by moving (actually copying) my media files from the the SD card in my mobile phone to internal memory. Hower, more recently, I was running out of internal memory, so had to delete my media library in internal memory - then the issue re...

Multiple media sources cannot be played

I periodically see this error message pop-up unexpectedly when I launch VLC on Android (Samsung S20 FE 5G) and try to play media. Sometimes when I try to play an album or track, I see an error pop-up: "multiple media sources cannot be played" - I am not the only one to experience this, per...

Re: Media library folder selection on sdcard is dropped

You are not alone. I reported this issue almost exactly a YEAR AGO (January 2022). While I could not browse albums with cover flow, I was able to navigate and play media using the browse function - a little tedious, but it worked. However, I found a work-around by copying my media library from my SD...

Aza,

I sent the media database dumps directly to you via private message (via WeSendIt).

Media library folder cannot be selected

Recently I found that one of my media library folders had become de-selected. Actually, I have two, one for music and a parallel folder for audio books, both on a SIM card in my Android mobile phone in the directory structure: > storage > [SIM card] > Media > Audio books (6 subfolders) > storage > [...
