I regularly receive voicemail attachments as MP3's on emails. If I click the attachment Android asks what I want to do, if I select VLC to play I get 'Playback error - VLC encountered an error with this media. Please try refreshing the media library <ok>'. As an example the path showing at the top of the screen is content://com.android.email.attachmentprovider/3/1161/RAW.
If I save the email to my download folder it will play if I go into the folder and select the file then choose VLC to open (but it does miss the first 2 seconds of playback which isn't great).
If I go into VLC first and select the download folder and choose the file this way it plays in full.
Is there a way of getting VLC to playback the whole file without any missing seconds straight from pressing the email attachment without having to download the file?
Thanks
