The VideoLAN Forums

Hi all.
When I use VLC on an Android phone, I also see the music tracks on the SD and I can choose to play an entire folder (see "Screenshot VLC.jpg": https://1drv.ms/i/s!Asw5LZM9Klkkjptr7jx ... g?e=4gyYcy)
When I use it via Android Auto, I can only see the albums or authors, and I cannot access the folders directly (see "Photo 1 VLC on Android Auto.jpg": https://1drv.ms/i/s!Asw5LZM9Klkkjpts7MI ... w?e=wG1Qkm). Even if I choose "Tracks", I only see a small part of my music (see "Photo 2 VLC on Android Auto.jpg": https://1drv.ms/i/s!Asw5LZM9KlkkjpttqL0 ... g?e=YZyqRK).
I hope you can read the photos taken of my car screen, because it was lit by the sun!...)

This is done on purpose because navigating through the file system is longer and harder than in the library. Android Auto is meant to be used quickly and easily to avoid distraction on the road. That's why VLC only exposes the library here.

I understood, thanks.
