After all these days, it happened again today around 5 pm. I reached home around 10 pm, connected Android Studio. Could not see anything related to VLC during that timeline. But the phone is almost out of storage and is throwing logs of hundreds of lines per minute with many error messages. After so...

Unfortunately now I am unable to reproduce this behaviour. However I have setup USB debugging on the phone, updated Android Studio and successfully connected the phone and can see the log live. Will wait for the aberrant behaviour to reappear and then will collect the log and update here.

OK. I am not a developer hence might not succeed. But I will try to see if I can get anything useful. I have Android Studio installed in my laptop for some long forgotten dream.

I will also check if this behaviour is seen with Sony Music.

I will test it out. I do use Sony's default Music app occasionally, but do not recall encountering this.

How do I produce a clean log? I mean one which has all details.

The issue of ghost play continues to trouble me to date. I have changed my mobile to Xperia XZ1 with Android 9.0 stock unrooted. This happens even if I force stop VLC, reboot the phone etc.

Thank you. I am going to live on the edge henceforth hopefully with good feedback.

I have been trying the Nightlies for sometime now to get a feel of what is coming and also help with any feedback/bug reports. But each time I can install only if I remove the previous version. A new APK always fails installation. Is this intended behaviour or any error on my part? Sony Xperia XZ1 A...

Since the latest update, VLC has been showing a sort of lazy scrolling/seeking behaviour that is in between the old seek behaviour and that of fast seek. The seek does not feel instant and feels like there is a small gap in releasing the finger and displaying the content. Is it only me or is it a ne...

I am using an Android 9 Sony Xperia XZ1. VLC does not auto-load subtitles from SD card in situation like this. Same file name, same directory, SRT file.

Device is different but symptom is same.

Mainly in 3.2.x series (I am not sure exactly where) VLC has started to forcibly come to the foreground even when it is supposed to be in background. For eg. I would be watching a movie. I am summoned by a manager. I will press the home button, lock the phone and go and attend to the matter. If I tr...

Happy to report that my issue with VLC showing blank screen and forgetting playback location has been fixed in 3.1.4.

The builds seem to be working now. Hope APKs will appear too.

Thank you. I will wait for it to succeed.

I have been trying out the nightlies to see if some issues I am facing are fixed there. But since Apr 11 there has been no new APK on the servers while other OS have the latest.

Has it been moved elsewhere? I could not find any nightly release on Google Play Store like in the case of Firefox.

Another small issue After playing one video almost to the end and then you suddenly open another video (of similar length) at times, the playback of new video starts from the position old video was in. This can result in unexpected spoilers. I have not been able to reproduce the issue. Could you te...

Another small issue

After playing one video almost to the end and then you suddenly open another video (of similar length) at times, the playback of new video starts from the position old video was in. This can result in unexpected spoilers.

I am having the same issues.

VLC 3.1.2
Huawei Mate 9
Android 9

OK. So this is not something isolated to my device or the Xperia line alone.

Can you please check in VLC > Menu > History and see if the titles of media played is displayed correctly?

While coming back to VLC from a screen lock state, a totally blank (black) screen is displayed. Bottom navigation icons are displayed and can be used to exit VLC. No media control buttons of VLC are displayed even after repeated tapping of screen. Rapid switching between apps without locking the sc...

How do I determine that? There is difference between how the titles appear if launched from MiXplorer vs. Sony Album. And both of them end up showing wrong title. This started happening after 3.x releases I think. When initially the file is played, correct title is shown. Once VLC goes into backgrou...

After either the 3.0.13 update or a few dot updates earlier, VLC has begun to show strange combination of characters instead of the actual file name while playing the video at the top overlay. If played from MiXplorer it shows combination of characters ending with the actual .mp4 extension while pla...

For precise seeking, deactivate "fast seek" option in settings → video

Thank you. I will try this out.

Any idea about the ghost videos playing?

I have not noticed the sound thing because I almost always watch videos on mute and with subtitles.

With the later updates, my problem has improved by say 40% but it is still definitely there.

I did some more testing about the seek difficulty. When I touch the screen and swipe right to seek forward, an onscreen display shows the target position but the actual play (as shown in the player control slider and picture on screen) starts much before (probably even before what was visible on the...
