The latest version of vlc player for ipad repeats songs stored locally when playing despite my setting to "Do not repeat". If I am listening to music in the background and using a browser it will repeat the song currently playing forever. Obviously another bug.

Hello,

We are currently investigating this issue, thank you for the feedback!

For me it does not repeat every song infinitely, but it does that with about half of them. When it is doing that, when I click to go to the next song it also stays on the same song again, but after the second click it moves on. The repeating makes the app almost unusable for me.

Starting in 3.4.2 or 3.4.3 I also started having a problem where I click on a song and about half the time there’s no sound. If I click around on different songs I can get it to sound, then it is OK until the next time I try to move away from the current place in the playlist. This problem was annoying, but it wasn’t critical until the app started sticking on the same song without intervention. Version 3.4.4 still has this same problem. I’m on 14.6 on an iPhone 8.

Regards.

I am experiencing this exact same issue on my iPhone 14 (iOS 16.5).

I am also having the same issue on my iPhone 12 Pro (iOS 16.5). When I start an album, it will play 1-2 songs fine then it will begin endlessly repeating a song. I have to hit the next song button twice to go to the next track. It will play that song fine and go to the next song, which it will then endlessly repeat.

The app was working fine last week while I was on a trip, so it is a recent event.

Also repeats videos on my iPhone 14 ProMax. Not everyone, but most of them.

Hello,

Sorry about that. This problem was fixed by version 3.4.5 last night.

Please update

Listened to an album on the drive into work today on version 3.4.5 and did not experience the repeat songs issue, appears to have been fixed! Thanks!

It still has the problem which started in 3.4.2 where a song sometimes makes no sound until I click around on different songs a few times. But the more important repeating problem introduced in 3.4.4 is fixed.
