I have also started having this issue in the last 2 days.

There’s a fix coming?

The update is live (Friday 2nd June) and my issue is finally fixed! Thank you!

Great news! I’ll look out for it soon.

Hi,

Ah ok! So the fix for my issue should be out by the weekend?

What was the show stopping bug? Just wondering if we should avoid the next update if it pops up today in case Apple missed it)?

So, any update on when 3.4.4 version will be released?

Aaah ok I see!

Awesome, thank you! Do you know when 3.4.4 will be released?

Hi,

Thank you for getting back to me and that’s great that you are now aware of the issue.

Can I ask why the fix isn’t being implemented until version 3.4.4 rather than (I presume?) the next release or 3.4.3?

Thanks

Hi, I have just updated today to your new 3.4.2 version of VLC and I am still experiencing the strange behaviour that within iOS you HAVE to have VLC open and running in the background for a file to open. The integration with the “Open in VLC” button and Share Sheet options within the native Files i...

Just to note, your 3.4.2 update released today (18th May) still doesn’t fix my issue explained in my last post above.

Hi, I’m still experiencing the strange behaviour that within iOS you HAVE to have VLC open and running in the background for a file to open. The integration with the “Open in VLC” button and Share Sheet options within the native Files is still broken. When you tap on these options all that happens i...

Yes, I’m still getting issues with 3.4.1 too but mainly when trying to open files from within the Files app…just getting nothing opening.

I think it’s to do with a combination of the new VLC updates and Apple’s own 16.4.1(a) update, as I’m still finding the integration between the Files apps “Open in VLC” and the Share Sheet option within Files to be broken, even after this new 3.4.1 update!

@fkuehne Thank you for getting back to me and for pushing the update so quickly. There is still one issue. Most issues are fixed but unfortunately VLC’s integration with Apple’s Files app is still broken? As I said before, basically both the ‘Open In VLC’ button and selecting VLC from the share shee...

Hi @fkuehne

Thanks for the link! So does the fix “ · Fix crash when exporting media to other apps” help with the issue I was having when clicking the “Open in VLC” button within the Files app or is that another issue?

Have the other bugs mentioned in other threads here by myself and others also been fixed with this update?

@fkuehne

Will the fix mention submitted on a recent post also help these issues?

Awesome! Does this fix repair all the other issues users have been posting about? The closing videos issues, the weird “Open In VLC” button quirk etc?

I’m also wondering the ETA on an update…there seems to be more and more issues posted on here every day sadly.

VLC is, and has always been, my favourite iOS media player so I’d really like to stick with it!

Are none of the developers online to reply at the weekends?

I also noticed this the other day.

Quite annoying and thought it was just a new “feature” of the new version…

I’m getting the same audio only problem when hooking up Apple devices to monitors/TVs too. Fix coming?

Yes, definitely seems to be some issues with Apple and VLC at the moment….is anything being fixed or done about these bugs?

Another issue! Although I can now finally get video files to open with audio on the internal iPad screen, monitor support is broken! In the past, if I connected to an external monitor using my iPad, I would get the message on my iPad saying “This video is playing on the TV” and both the video AND au...

Mine too! I’ve found a workaround, which is on my other thread: Basically, my files will now load, but ONLY if I first have the VLC app up and running in the background, then they will open perfectly. Caveat to that though is that they will now ONLY play on my internal iPad screen. If I hook up to a...

@fkuehne Update: I managed to get MKV files working again but NOT as I normally do. So, basically both the ‘Open In VLC’ button and selecting VLC from the share sheet options in the 16.4.1(a) iOS/iPadOS Preview window results in the behaviour I previously mentioned: VLC opens, but nothing opens or p...
