Re: VLC 3.0.0 - Manually set Java location for Blu-Ray menus?

I know but he may be busy and it is faster to try directly; forward slashes never need to be escaped, instead for backslashes depend from the context so forward slashes are always safer.

Re: Huawei: Your device is not compatible with this (VLC) version

I do not want to enter in the discussion but one can install any app that is on Play Store with Yalp Store app, you can also download apps for device you don't have. One can also ditch the stock ROM and install a custom one (like LineageOS) ;) PS: I think a good way to counter attack is change the a...

Re: VLC 3.0.0 - Manually set Java location for Blu-Ray menus?

I haven't tried but I think forward slashes and absolute path should always work on Windows in any case.

Re: Displaying time recorded

Youtube convert the video so it lose all extra data, you need to upload it as file ( for example on: http://www.embedupload.com/ ) and then post the link.

Re: Displaying time recorded

You should post a sample video file (possibly small).

Otherwise how can the problem be fixed?

Re: Displaying time recorded

To do anything you should at least provide a sample file :)

Are the time informations stored in a separate file or they are stored inside the video file?

Re: App does not show a M4A file if a MP4 file has the same name

I think this is the intended behavior.

Because they can be external audio tracks of a video, example:
video.avi
video-english.mp3
video-italian.mp3
videoANYTEXT.mp3

And since they are classified as external audio tracks they doesn't appear as separate files.

Re: Playlist m3u wrong encoding / chars

The option can apply to both urls and local paths, enabled by default (both local path and url are encoded) to respect the standard but can be disabled (bot urls and local paths not encoded) for compatibility with broken devices.

Re: Subtitles not working in VLC 3.0.3 that work under VLC 2.2.8?

All my .SRT files are external but VLC 3+ does not display them, while VLC 2.2.8 on the same computer will display them with no issues.
You should post the exact full path and filename of both the video file and the subtitle files to check why they aren't auto-loaded.

Re: Section for VLC Lua modules

I don't question that there is a use case for Lua modules to help build other Lua scripts.
I just don't think they belong on addons, which is a site for end users.
If I tell to an end user that my Lua SD require a Lua module where should I point the end user to download it?
