SFTP failed in Android VLC

Postby Shiki » 21 Jul 2022 21:14

I tried cx file manager and kodi for sftp and the results are satisfying, anyway, sftp doesn't work at all in VLC Android ( Actually I heard there's the same problem in iOS)

After I tried to connect the sftp server, VLC gaved back no response but an empty folder.

Could you please share some logs? Reproduce the issue and then go to: Settings > Advanced > Debug logs. Then share the logs with the sharing service you prefer (Google Drive, Dropbox, pastebin...).

To help you, we need messages, to completely understand what your problems is.

From windows command line or linux or macos terminal, launch vlc with options -vv and --logfile=file

  • Windows example: vlc.exe -vv --logfile=c:\vlclog.txt
  • Linux example: vlc -vv --logfile=vlclog.txt, or vlc -vv 2>&1 > logfile.txt
Then paste the full resulting log here between [​code]and[​/code] (or use Pastebin.com if it's too long)

Also don't forget to name your Operating System and provide the VLC media player version.
