Dear Forum.

Using Xbox One X (november 2018 update) with VLC UWP (installed 29.12.2018).
When user download's M3U file, system offeres "open" options, but even with VLC installed, Xbox does not seem to associate the file to it.

Would it be possible to use m3u files in VLC?

Thank you.

Hi,

See this https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-winrt/issues/277

Hello there. May VLC UWP get an update for m3u/m3u8 support? It seems that it is a discontinued app, but are there any chances for this feature? I have a device with Windows in S mode, this edition of the OS does not support exe/com software. You can only download applications from Microsoft Store.

It is possible to switch to regular Windows version, but frankly, I do not think that a low-end device would perform better on a regular Windows with much more processes, that is why I keep S mode. Most Microsoft Surface Go devices use S mode, I think there is a better optimisation with that edition.

I also prefer VLC UWP's UI rather than a desktop version, looks quite modern and scale (text size, buttons) is better here. I do hope that it would be possible to implement m3u/m3u8 support, thanks in advance!

I'm not even sure the Store version of VLC is still under developpement at all. It's better to use the Desktop version of VLC which has more features and should run fine even on low-end devices.
