New to VLC 2.3.0 for iOS, and it's mostly great, but I have a couple issues relative to using it with my NAS drive (from my iPad Mini 7.1.1):
1. With a program called File Explorer I can find my videos and direct them to play in VLC, but if I try to find them from VLC itself, selecting the NAS (Local Network>UPNP>NAS) I see the structure differently:
As built:
\\NAS\Public\Documents
\\NAS\Public\Music
\\NAS\Public\Photos
\\NAS\Public\Videos
\\NAS\Public\Videos\Movies
\\NAS\Public\Videos\Television
But from VLC Local Network I see instead:
Browse Folders
Music
Pictures (sic)
Video
Video\All Video
Video\All Video\"vids at level \\NAS\Public\Videos above"
Video\Folders
Video\Folders\Videos\"vids at level \\NAS\Public\Videos above"
Nowhere can I find either my Movies and my Television folders. Can someone suggest why? FWIW the NAS is FAT32-format.
Another oddity (clue?) is that the NAS appears without requiring a logon of any sort from VLC, which troubles me. I guess the NAS, which "broadcasts" via WiFi, once connected to a device via the WiFi password doesn't need/want any more credentials...? Looks like it.
2. The docs suggest external subtitles are supported, but my identically-named *.srt files don't appear onscreen, nor can I find any way to select them as e.g. with the PC version.
Thanks for any feedback.
