can't retrieve audio cd information

Postby callmejoe » 10 Dec 2020 06:15

having a hard time figuring out how to get cd track and album information. i tried updating the CDDB server to freedb.videolan.org, but that doesn't seem to work.

vlc version 3.0.11.1

Just tried the same. Though it didn't work until I... switched it off and switched it on again. (closed VLC then restarted it.)
