The VideoLAN Forums

On Android TV, VLC no longer plays every file in a directory shared over LAN.

I don't remember if you had to long-press a file, and then choose Play All like on VLC for Android, or if VLC on Android TV just always played all files, but it doesn't work anymore.

Please fix.

My mistake: just select a file in a folder and hit ok or whatever your "do it" button is on your remote, and VLC automatically loads the whole folder into a playlist. This is the opposite behavior compared to the standard VLC for Android app, where just starting a file only loads that file and none of the rest, and you need to long-press to select Play All to load all files in a folder.

I must have forgotten.
