Media library folder selection on sdcard is dropped

[Skantes]

Hi, we have worked on a fix, that is currently in 3.5.4 Beta 2, could you try it, and tell us if the new version solves your issue please ?

I want to help test but the newest filename in nightly/armv7 (2023-01-29) still identifies as Beta 1. My one phone that has this bug has a Nightly installed; it will complicate everything to install both orange and green VLC. If you can get the fix into a Nightly, I'll take it and report.

Nightlies should also have the fix after the 24th

I have 2023-01-29 and the main bug hasn't appeared.

To continue the test, I uninstalled, reinstalled, and went to my folder of 30 subfolders on SD card. It remains true that, if a selected folder is scrolled off the screen during discovery, scrolling back shows it as unselected. This is more than a display error, as VLC didn't find all my music. Also, the auto-discovery option enabled itself. Workaround is to select only folders visible on screen and don't scroll until discovery is complete, then scroll and check additional folders; now the file count is correct.

I checked my install, it shows: last updated November 3, 2022 — not sure that version that is. I didn't sign-up for Beta (so far), so I am wondering if there is a new public release pending that might fix the folder dropping issues...

Nightlies are in https://artifacts.videolan.org/vlc-andr ... tly-armv7/

Or a sibling folder for your device's processor.

Android 13, vlc beta 2 (last nights version) not collecting all folder contents on automatic discovery from microsd ram. Folder titles and working contents on 20% of folders, the rest, the folder title only.

I don't understand your meaning @GeneralKarl, are you speaking about the folder subtitle that shows the folder's content (ie number of subfolders, and number of media) ? And which view in the app are you speaking about ?

Currently running 3.5.4 Beta 2, cleared the database, reset the app, and tried again. Everything now works as expected, my library menus are populated and no issues with playback.

Great, thank you for testing
