VLC 3.5.0 breaks m3u streaming - again

Postby Ruthenium » 16 Feb 2024 17:43

This continues to be an annoying problem. There needs to be a way to roll back versions on my iPhone where I can still have a usable version of the software.

The m3u stream under open network stream no longer plays. It still plays at the prior version of 3.4.9. This happened a few versions ago and was fixed.

I tried multiple m3u files now stored locally on device as well as opened from the internet through the Open Network Stream dialog (like when listening to a radio station). All of them are working correctly.

Please provide me with a sample that does not work for you. You are welcome to PM if needed/desired.

I should have tried deleting and reinstalling the app first. Once I did that it now works on iPhone. iPad had no problem with the update without deleting.
