Help us test VLC for Android and report bugs

So ls did not like -h for some reason. ls showed the files, but adding -l meant nothing showed up. cat did not seem to want to read the files (similar error "Function not implemented" to VLC).

Code: Select all

u0_a57@jfltexx:/storage/sdcard1/Music/Clean Bandit/New Eyes (Deluxe Version) $ ls 01 - Mozart's House (feat. Love Ssega).ogg 02 - Extraordinary (feat. Sharna Bass).ogg 03 - Dust Clears (feat. Noonie Bao).ogg 04 - Rather Be (feat. Jess Glynne).ogg 05 - A+E (feat. Kandaka Moore & Nikki Cislyn).ogg 06 - Come Over (feat. Stylo G).ogg 07 - Cologne (feat. Nikki Cislyn & Javeon).ogg 08 - Telephone Banking (feat. Love Ssega).ogg 09 - Up Again (feat. Rae Morris).ogg 10 - Heart On Fire (feat. Elisabeth Troy).ogg 11 - New Eyes (feat. Lizzo).ogg 12 - Birch (feat. Eliza Shaddad).ogg 13 - Outro Movement III.ogg 14 - Rihanna (feat. Noonie Bao).ogg 15 - UK Shanty (feat. Eliza Shaddad).ogg 16 - Nightingale (feat. Nikki Cislyn).ogg 17 - Nightingale (Gorgon City Remix).ogg 18 - Rather Be (feat. Jess Glynne) [The Magician Remix].ogg u0_a57@jfltexx:/storage/sdcard1/Music/Clean Bandit/New Eyes (Deluxe Version) $ ls -l u0_a57@jfltexx:/storage/sdcard1/Music/Clean Bandit/New Eyes (Deluxe Version) $ cat 04\ -\ Rather\ Be\ \(feat.\ Jess\ Glynne\).ogg /system/bin/sh: cat: 04 - Rather Be (feat. Jess Glynne).ogg: Function not implemented

It's interesting that cat cannot read the files either. This suggests that perhaps the system libc doesn't like whatever structure (presumably a symlink) 04\ -\ Rather\ Be\ \(feat.\ Jess\ Glynne\).ogg actually is?

[cbaines]

Ah, so looking at mount is revealing:

Code: Select all

/dev/block/vold/179:33 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 ext4 rw,dirsync,context=u:object_r:sdcard_external:s0,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/fuse /storage/sdcard1 fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0

So its not actually a ext4 filesystem that VLC, or anything is interacting with, its fuse wrapping ext4.

[edwardw]

You can try adding /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1/ as a custom path in preferences and access it via directory view, but I don't know if it will work for sure.

[cbaines]

Seems like there is some pretty weird permissions stuff going on with /mnt/media_rw. The file browser and terminal can go there, but only when running as root. I have tried symlinking to a directory on the sdcard, but that didn't seem to work.

[edwardw]

OK. I guess /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1/ is protected.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

We have a fix for the LG G3.

[edwardw]

Not sure if it's the right fix. It seems like the C library doesn't like symlinks even when accessed through the userland mountpoint.

Hello,
I have huge problems with VLC on Motorola Moto G 4G/LTE with Android 4.4.2. I'm using VLC mainly as audio player but I can't play audio files without crackling or heavy distortions. I've tried every version since 1.2.0, both output methods (native track output and OpenGL ES) and I'm not using any dsp effects. The audio is coded with AAC (44.1 kHz,192-256kBit) and there is crackling and with Opus codec (48kHz,192-256kBit) and there are heavy distortions (all output methods). Other audio player apps working right but I would be very glad if I could use VLC.

[edwardw]

Have you tried another audio output in preferences?

[nium]

Yes, I've tried native track output and OpenGL ES, I think in case of opus playback, audio is resampled (ugly) for both output methods, and from the listening experience I would say for opus that crackling is no problem. I had installed the nightly build of VLC 1.3.0 but nothing changed.

[nium]

Ok, I prepared a little test. output method as set in preferences was native track

This is normal. Look at Android Play Store.

Or this:

I guess that doesn’t look good for a music player! Check out Google Play Music for ref

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Of course it's not centered on Google Play Store:
