VLC on iPad - Stopping Playback Controls disappearing

Postby flingel » 11 Jul 2018 18:36

Hi, I'm using VLC on iPad to play back MP3s. All works fine but as would be probably desired most of the time, the playback controls disappear after a few seconds. For what I'm currently doing, I want to pause / restart play a lot but each time I have to tap the screen to get the controls back before I can do that and it slows things down a lot. Is there any way that the controls can be made to permanently stay on screen? I cannot find anything in settings.

Sadly we currently don't have a way to have the controls permanently on the screen.
As a workaround, with the setting "tap to play/pause" activated, it will only take a two finger tap to play/pause the media.

Hope it helps!

I have done that but if I do the 2 finger tap it brings the controls back up but throws me 10 / 20 seconds forward and carrys on playing. Is there another setting I need to change?

Ah got it - 2 fingers together, not one after the other!

Many thanks. 😊
