Does VLC for Apple TV 4K (tvOS) now supports Media Grouping?

Postby mancerrss » 10 Feb 2021 08:35

Hi there.

I just wanna ask, does VLC for tvOS 14, Apple TV 4K now supports Media Grouping, as how it was on the VLC for iOS 14 (I just learned about this recent support)?

If not currently, is it planned in the future? What is the timeline for this?

It is frustrating to browse my Cached Media library on VLC for Apple TV app, as it doesn't list all the items alphabetically, and instead very weirdly randomly (same file name like subtitles doesn't even show side by side to the video file). Ideally, I wanna Group them in folders, and even with nested folders like on Network Storage.

VLC for tvOS is weirdly, badly designed as well, as the top Headline text is pinned to the top, and you can efficiently browse the files below as it's masked and cut off.

We don’t have plans to bring media grouping to tvOS soon due to a lack of contributors on this port. Sorry.
