The VideoLAN Forums

Using VLC version 3.2.6 on iPadOS version 13.3.1 - using the function to Open Network Stream - I did not have Private Playback turned on. VLC remembered the streams I opened. And there appears to be no way to delete or erase or forget them. If I turn Private Playback on, new ones are not remembered. But the old ones won't go away. I am now up to 33 saved names.

Any ideas?

Thanks

You can always return to a fresh installation by uninstalling and reinstalling, but in the app you can't remove the video from the recent streams list once it's added there.
So, if no one else is supposed to know, or you just don't want to clutter the list with it, you need to make sure the "Private Playback" option is enabled:

When you exit the video, you'll see it listed in recent streams at the bottom of the previous screen.
If you don't want the video to be saved in the "recently watched" list because it's about a surprise gift perhaps, tap the "Private Playback" toggle to disable this saving behavior:

Thanks. If you've done it yourself (I don't want to in case it goes awry) so it works for sure, then good that someone actually tries and don't just takes other's words for it not being possible (I just trusted the article - my bad).
