Thanks a lot, Felix (and others) for maintaining this great app. I am using it all the time to watch movies in MKV format on my TV from a network drive on my PC and it generally works very well. However, I am really missing some “media center” feel/features in the app, to see more than just the file...

After a bit of testing I can confirm that v3.3.5 (build 429) indeed seems to fix both the anonymous login and video playback issues I experienced with previous builds. Thank you, fkuehne.

@CoNSpiracy001: please try again with today's build 427. I have now tested build 427. I can now log in again to the SMB shared network folder without using a username/password (just by clicking login), without the app crashing. However, this only works for me when I select the computer name (SMB) (...

@fkuehne: Logging in to the SMB network folder I am now able to play video again. That is, most video... I have many mkv files and while many of them now play just fine there are also many of them which do not. Some of the problematic videos will “chop up” (play some milliseconds and then freeze and...

I can reproduce the Windows 10 21H2 crash. It works with Windows XP, samba/Linux and macOS shares, but indeed crashes with Windows 10 on anonymous logins. We will work on that as soon as possible. Indeed, the shared folder I am trying play video from via SMB in the VLC AppleTV app is on a PC runnin...

Exactly the same here. Both the AppleTV and the iPhone/iPad versions in build 426 crash when trying to log in to a network folder via SMB (anonymous login)…

I have always just logged in as guest / anonymous login, and have been able to see the files and play the video shared with all on my PC. This still works fine in the iPad version of VLC but not in the AppleTV versions starting with v3.3.1 (I can still log in and see the files, but playback does not...

I experience the same behavior as described by @bkh and @yoshiyike on my Apple TV 4K. The playback of files via SMB or NFS with version 3.3.0 and 3.3.1 is completely broken. Quite a bummer, as it was working flawlessly before… Exactly the same here. The problem started with v3.3.0 and it is the sam...
