The problem with the subtitles reverting to "disabled" after pausing for long enough to start the screensaver on my Android TV has been solved now (since 7th or 8th February). Great!

The problems appear to have been fixed – they stopped two or three days ago, in the version released on 1st February, if I'm not mistaken. (I update VLC every day.) I can enter the LAN share (computer) and its subfolders from the first try. When a video is paused and the screensaver turns on, and I ...

My Android TV broke in early December 2024 and was only fixed in early January 2025 – new motherboard. This meant reinstalling everything, including VLC for Android. I was using the nightlies before as well, so I continued with them. And since 9th January, every single version has suffered from the ...

VLC 3.5.4 did mention that it had made several enhancements regarding remote access. Your Nightly would be 3.6.0 Beta 2, which would have those enhancements. So my best guess is that you found a bug (or at least sub-optimal user interface) and it has been fixed. I'm not sure it has been fixed. VLC ...

I had to completely uninstall VLC, then reinstall it (the most recent nightly version). When I launched it and went to Local Network, it asked me to enter my LAN computer's username and password and I was able to brrowse my computer again. The question is why didn't VLC ask me to re-enter my credent...

VLC 3.5.4 for Android TV. I've been watching films from my LAN for a year and a half now, almost no issues. But all of a sudden, just as we were watching an episode, it cut off a few minutes before the end. I tried several times to play it – I could start the file from the beginning but fast-forward...

Thanks! I wasn't aware the two are interdependent.

I can contribute but probably not before the summer. I hope the source text can be imported into a CAT tool.

Hello, I am using VLC on Android TV and one inconvenience I encounter frequently is that when the video has subtitles built-in, the subtitles for my language (Bulgarian) are never diplayed automatically. I always need to manually select them. This is because in Settings > Subtitles > Preferred subti...

Sorry for the delay replying. I just tested this again – opened the 4K video, added the subtitles, and they did show. I've no idea why they didn't show the previous half a dozen attempts. Link to video demonstration: https://youtu.be/eu2TVW4pnP8 PS. The second time I opened the film (5 minutes later...

For the 4K issue, did you change the aspect ratio? To verify, long tap the ratio icon: the icon before the last in the controls at the bottom. Then verify that "Best fit" is checked. About the other issues: 1. What protocol is used? SMB, UPnP? 2. What does it display? It's probably a file...

It seems that if the video file is 4K, subtitles won't display. I add the subtitles the usual way – select the icon bottom left, go to the Audio/Subtitles submenu, select the triangle to open the add subtitles menu, add them and... nothing. Tried two formats: SRT and SUB, multiple times, including a...
