Missing CUE files support on iOS

I've tested playing CUE files on Windows and Android, but failed when using VLC on iOS.
It seems that VLC on iOS doesn't support CUE files. Could it be included in further development plans?

I don't believe we ever tested that and it wasn't requested in a while. I don't have any sample files to test with, tbh.

Well, here's an example. A CUE file use the following format to mark a audio file, in order to reference multiple audio tracks.

Code: Select all

REM GENRE Electronica REM DATE 1998 PERFORMER "Faithless" TITLE "Live in Berlin" FILE "Faithless - Live in Berlin.mp3" MP3 TRACK 01 AUDIO TITLE "Reverence" PERFORMER "Faithless" INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 02 AUDIO TITLE "She's My Baby" PERFORMER "Faithless" INDEX 01 06:42:00
(from fileformat)
It is linked to an MP3 file with multiple tracks. VLC on Windows and Android can read it and automatically form a playlist. Hope this feature will be useful on iOS.
