Play next audio not working

Postby goku » 17 Jan 2022 07:05

skipping to next song not working in vlc audio player please fix it. Only one song is added to queue when playing a song from song tab. All the songs in song tab should be added to queue when playing a song. why is the developers making the app weird.

I will need more context:
- What is the VLC for Android version you are using? What is your device model and version?
- What do you mean by "song tab"? Could you share a screenshot?

If you tap on a song under TRACKS, it makes a play queue of only that song. This is intentional and not "weird." You can get more songs in the play queue by using the options in the song's three-dots menu. To play an entire folder, select Browse, navigate to the folder, tap the folder icon at the left, and tap the play symbol at the top.

Well it is weird because no music player in android have this limitation. When you play a song from the track tab, all the songs should be added to a queue, that's how it should work.
It works in the video tab if you play a video all videos existing videos in the list are automatically added into a playlist, why is it missing for music?
Don't you think it's a weird limitation?

Now yesterday, I tapped a song from a list and did get the entire album, which was not what I wanted. I suspect there is some nuance inside VLC that neither of us understands. If it's intentional, I welcome a lesson.

In the tracks tab: you can tap the overflow button (3 dots) of a track and tap "Play all". This is exactly what you want.

About the album screen, yes it's on purpose. I has been asked a lot to consider that if the user is in the album screen, they want to play the album. They can play it all with the floating button or starting with a track by taping on a track.

If that's what triggers that behavior, that makes perfect sense! Thanks for the explanation.

Can you give an option to make play all as default just like in video tab.

This is not the default behavior of the video tabs.

Such an option has never been asked before. We want to avoid adding more settings unless it's really asked a lot. Sorry.
