Does VLC's iOS app not support old school *.S3M, *.XM, *.FAR, *.669, *.MTM, & *.IT music file formats?

*.MOD works. Windows' VLC had no problems with all of those formats. I am trying to play them in my old iPhone 6+ (iOS v12.4.7).

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering. :)

Yes, we don't have those file extensions enabled so they shouldn't even show in the app albeit synchronized. Do you really have media in those formats?

Can you do a ticket on code.videolan.org on the media library project to ask the extensions to be added?

Ah. I do have those music medias as shown in http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/files/music/music.html. I'm old school! https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-ios/-/issues/860 for my issue "by your command". ;)

You're welcome, Felix paul kuehne! Hopefully, you can use VLC's computer codes to easily add into your iOS (and tvOS?) app(s)! Good luck. Please kindly let me know if you need anything else. :)

What about .midi? Because Windows 11 has a soundfonts and iOS didn’t even support soundfonts and .midi.
