Missing features on 3.2.0

Postby forest07 » 20 Sep 2019 04:50

-Please bring back sorting manually. It only works in playlist.

-Sort setting is not saved once you close~open the app. Reverts to default (Alphanumerically)

-Automatic playlist not working for files with S0XE0X tag. Example: Suits S01E01, Suits S02E02 = Suits S01 folder
Smart handling of music albums and TV shows

VLC for iOS 2.1 added smart handling of music albums and TV shows. Based upon meta tags and pattern matched file names, VLC for iOS will automatically detect TV shows and music albums. Switching the library mode in the sidebar menu will reveal dynamic collections for either category. "All Files" switches back to the default mode listing all files available on your iOS device within the VLC context.

How are TV shows detected by VLC for iOS?—at present, based upon the file name. The following schemes are supported in current releases: "Show.Name.S01E01.Optional.Episode.Name" or "Show.Name.0x00.Optional.Episode.Name". Show Name will become optional in version 2.2.1. Detection for more schemes will be part of future releases.


Thanks, VLC! :)

I can't even find that library mode option, or a sidebar menu. I have a menu in the bottom which has "video" which just shows literally all the videos I have on my iPad, and then Audio/Playlists/Network/Settings. There's nothing in the settings to turn on, or switch to this Library mode option.

I would just very much like it if I had the same smart sorting as the previous version had. Having 100+ videos not being sorted into libraries is quite annoying.

I looked in the wiki, and the VLC icon used to bring down that menu called "sidebar", but that icon is no longer present in the app on 3.2.0. It is replaced by the up/down arrow which just has sorting order by Alphanumerical, duration, insertion date, release date, file size. Nothing else.

I am using iOS 10.3.3 if that matters.

Also

Folders are much more convenient if you need to delete the entire group of videos than playlists.

Subtitle files .srt not automatically deleted unlike prev versions.

Do we know if this feature was official removed or is it a bug?

The .srt file not deleting in v3.2, please bring that feature back. You can't delete them in iOS, the files are hidden, you can only do so in iTunes->File Sharing.
