The VideoLAN Forums

I was hoping that someone could help me.

I am using vlc on nvidia shield. I have connected to my local network via my Plex media server.

It works fine but when I play any movie and stop it and go back into vlc the movie name has changed to file. Mp4.

I don't understand why this is happening and how to prevent it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I expect this is the problem: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=156326
And is a known issue tracked here: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc- ... ssues/1434

No ETA for fix which is surprising as it is a showstopper given that one-by-one, once played file names change to a string of text/numbers. For the time being I've moved on to Nova Video Player (app install on TV).

Thanks for this!
