If I understand, vlc use album name AND album artist to see if tracks should be displayed as one album or as differents albums. Am I right? Partially, it uses the Artist, AlbumArtist, Number of CDs, release date and album title. Then it's mostly a matter of which file gets analyzed first, I think t...

Thanks for sharing the files! The issue is that all tracks are tagged with an Album Artist identical to the Artist tag. For compilations we support these cases: - No Album Artist (in which case we do what we can to figure out that it's actually a compilation and not multiple albums from multiple art...

Having the tracks would definitely help (if you'd prefer you can upload them somewhere and send me a link through email to chouquette at videolan.org) If not the tracks, at least a dump of their ID3 tags If all the tracks for the same album are in the same folder, most likely they are tagged with in...

Oh and since the classification might depend on the file hierarchy, could you tell us how your files are stored? Are all the tracks in the same folders?

Hi,

Could you share the faulty samples? There are many things that could explain the behavior but it's just speculative without the actual files & tags

Indeed if the file has the same name, we will consider it to be the same media. We already check the file size/modification date and will refresh the file if it was modified on disk, but so far we don't discard progress and other user provided information when a change is detected. I'm really not su...

Hi,

This is already possible in the library listing on phones, but apparently not on TV. I'll forward the request to the Android team

Hi,

Could you provide your VLC logs? Tens of thousands of media is expected to have a non negligeable cost of analysis, but definitely not in the range of hours

There's definitely a performance issue when ordering media, this is tracked at https://code.videolan.org/videolan/medi ... issues/385

I can't guaranty that it's what causing your issue though

Hi, I can't reproduce on my phone, however it seems to be quite slow to apply the sort. Could you send us your database and give us a little more details about your phone/android version? For the database, you can dump it to the root of your phone in the advanced settings, then you should be able to...

As pointed out by dav1d developers, the dav1d module will not be used on Windows XP. The crashing module is the libaom one.
It was introduced in VLC 3.0.5 but AFAICS it never worked on XP

Created https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/25746 to track this issue

Created an issue to track this: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/25745 It's a bit unclear if this is a recent regression for windows XP or if it hasn't worked in a long time, any clarification from the OP would be appreciated :) Don't hesitate to try with an old 3.0.x versions, you ca...

Hi,

It's being implemented, but I can't make any promises regarding a release date

Hi,

Indeed you are correct, this was a problem on our end, and it's fixed now

You'll need to remove the previous installation one last time the next time you install a nightly build, but it should be the last one

Hi, The reason for this is that we can't know (for now at least) if all the embedded covers are the same or if they are different, which would cause all those covers to be copied to our thumbnail folder. We use to favor embedded cover but the disk usage was raising way too fast. Instead we now favor...

Hi,
I suppose your tracks are grouped in a specific folder per album?

I'm not sure what the right approach is. For now what we do is we consider the video has been played up to the end if the playback reaches: - The last 5% percent of the playback if it's less than 1hours long - The last 4% if it's between 1 and 2 hours - And so on until it's more than 4 hours, in whi...

That would be possible, however before doing so I'm interested in knowing how long your media is. Maybe we could add a bit more granularity to the way we detect the end of a media.

Thanks for checking! I've been able to reproduce on my side as well, the issue is tracked there: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc- ... ssues/1461

Hi,

Could you check with a desktop version if those thumbnails are displayed? This will help us to pinpoint where the issue is

I can't reproduce with the same file names on my phone, I reached out privately with the OP to gather more info/logs

Hi, Just to confirm, you're grouping by name and not by folders right? Ideally, could you dump your database and send it to us? Go to settings -> advanced -> Dump media database, you'll find a vlc_media.db file at the root of your main storage. If you can send send it to xxx@videolan.org that would ...

Hi, First let's check that it's indeed duplicate entries and not that the files are duplicated on your phone: In the track listing, use the "more" button (located on the right of the track) to go to the track information panel. There you'll see the path to your file. Compare the location o...

2: Yeah but I suspect the issue is dependent on the file name, which is why I asked for the file name of a media that exhibit the issue

A full upload is fine by me, thanks

I'm using a yubikey for 2FA, which seems to work for your requirements, and I suppose any OTP application should work
