VLC locked with password since 2.7.0

[Camaradon]

The night before it updated I could watch the files I put on VLC without a password.
The day after update to 2.7.0 I needed to enter a password in order to acces my files I put on VLC. Funny thing is I never set a password for VLC. I tried multiple possible passwords but it didn't work.
Is there anyone with the same problem or does someone know a solution for this?
As long as this isen't fixed I can't acces VLC


Kind regards
Camaradon

I am experiencing the same problem. It is definitely the update. I could resolve the error by loading an older backup. As soon as you update the error will reoccur. Please help!

This problem affects a small number of users and will be resolved in 2.7.1, which we will submit for review once Apple is back from the holidays (Dec 29). The actual release date is out of our hands.

Regrettably, there doesn't seem to be a work-around for people affected by this problem, as reinstalling the app does not seem to help (for non-understood reasons).

Even the latest update from today does not resolve the error. I tried deleting and reinstalling several times - no effect!

We are re-investigating the issue at the moment and can't reproduce it on any of our devices.

To make sure that we fix it correctly, it would be awesome if some of you could test a beta to check if it's gone or not.

If you are interested, please PM me your email address and I'll send you an invitation. All you need is an iOS device running iOS 8 or later as well as Apple's free TestFlight app available from the App Store.
