This is already "solved" in 3.0.17. We can't solve something that's already solved, and we can't go back in time to change old releases either. ??? Did you not read my posting above? How can the problem be solved when one of your developers confirmed to me the day before yesterday on 12.1...

I will move this discussion in the general section as it's relevant for all VLC's ports. https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=151929 https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=153592 https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=152080 https://forum.videolan.org/viewtop...

This is already supported in VLC 3.0.17 onward, though it is obviously preferable to use URL encoding for backward compatibility. ------------------------------ This is once again probably an encoding issue on your part. I once again tried with a generated m3u file from VLC with a path looking like...

Sorry for the late answer, I've been quite busy these last days. To be honest, it's not the part I know the most / I work on. I will move this discussion in the general section as it's relevant for all VLC's ports. Thanks for your effort, I'll deal with this topic a bit more intensively myself! The...

These characters need to be escaped. BTW, the second one doesn't open on VLC desktop either. Aza, I suppose the question is, do these characters really need to be escaped? According to Wikipedia there's no formal format spec for M3U; it's just a de facto format with ASCII encoding specified for M3U...

Just to understand better: VLC reads a file structure that looks like this: ../Folder/Folder (3)/Artist-folder [Disc 2]/01 Title [UK].mp3 And then saves it internally as follows: ../Folder/Folder%20(3)/Artist-folder%20%5BDisc%202%5D/01%20Title%20%5BUK%5D.mp3 Have I understood that correctly? And if ...

This is once again probably an encoding issue on your part. I once again tried with a generated m3u file from VLC with a path looking like yours and here is what I got: Generated by VLC desktop, working: #EXTM3U #EXTINF:45,With brackets in folder ../Folder/Folder%20(3)/Artist-folder%20%5BDisc%202%5...

Here is why I ask for a file: I created a .m3u file with VLC desktop with the following folder / files: - toto/without.mp3 - [toto]/With bracket in folder.mp3 - [toto]/[With brackets in file name].mp3 Generated playist: https://pastebin.com/n4MiQJQH So I am not able to reproduce. Thank you for your...

Have now tried the following: had m3u file created by vanilla music under lineage 9 with relative paths, and copied to usb stick.... same datasets created under Windows, then .txt converted to .m3u and copied to usb-stick... same datasets created under Linux, then .txt converted to .m3u and copied t...

I will therefore test myself, if I have time, whether that makes a difference!

But I think not, my lists are partly created by Android itself or Vanilla Music or with my Linux computer, that makes no difference!

If it's an encoding issue and I create the file with another editor that uses a different charset, I may not be able to reproduce the issue. That's why I ask for your exact file. You can share it with the sharing service you prefer (Google Drive, Dropbox...). Okay, thanks for the explanation, but I...

It's probably an encoding issue. That's why I need a sample file to verify that. Please excuse my inexperience, but I can of course now create a text file on my Linux computer, save some of these lines "../320kbs NEU/LP`s (nach Interpreten)/David Bowie/Legacy [Disc 2]/01 Under Pressure.mp3&quo...

Can it be that VLC, in m3u files, can not correctly recognize/assign the relative paths by entries with "[" "]"?

Could you please share this .m3u file? Thank you for your interest! That's just a lot of different lists with entries like [UK] as I said! Nothing spectacular, except maybe that I use relative paths because of compatibility of lists in different devices..... Normal textfiles saved with .m3u instead...

The fd:// issue is a known one and is an Android limitation, although I agree with Spike that VLC's behavior is not ideal and it really ought to do a better job instead of confusing users unnecessarily with cryptic filenames. After various re-saving of the data and re-reading, I now have the proble...

Additional possibly important INFO to solve the problem !!!: Another device just tested and it affects playlists of some complete CDs again! (Samsung Tablet / OfficialLineage 11) If you let VCL play the music from a file explorer, it will play it back without any problems, but instead of the title /...

First of all, thank you for your quick answers! I have several devices in use ... one thing in common is that the official version is installed on all Lineage. For reasons of space, the music data are mainly on SD cards which have been specially formatted by Android and now also belong to the intern...

Hello folks, It seems like VLC (Android) has a problem with the characters "[" or "]" in the file structure or the track name ... for example album "[2009]"! Is this a bug or is there a solution? I don't necessarily want to recreate my entire database and eliminate thes...
