When I open provided link on computer browser , showing failed to load index.html

VLC version 3.6.0 beta 2 , downloaded from https://f-droid.org (Same happened on Playstore version)

Android 12 , OneUI 4.1 , google play services active.

Browser infomations:

Firefox 127.0(32-bit) private window on window 10 pc (same happened on Librewolf 131.0.3-1on ArchLinux)

In the remote access settings page, you get a "Server status" item. When you click on it, what does it say? Is the server in error?

BTW, we just published a new beta 3 version that fixes crashes with this feature. Could you please try it and see if it fixes your issue?

Hi , when I click on " server status " it doesn't show no error message.

After updated to beta 3, It seems fixed. Thanks to VLC team (◕‿◕)♡

Glad to read it!

Same problem here (F-Droid version), but Beta 3 doesn't solve the problem for me.
I've already deleted the app data and set everything up again, but that doesn't change anything...

Could you please share some logs? Reproduce the issue and then go to: Settings > Advanced > Debug logs. Then share the logs with the sharing service you prefer (Google Drive, Dropbox, pastebin...).

[DocSniper]

Thanks for replying and here the log:

[Aza]

Sorry for the delay. There is nothing useful in the logs, except one that shows that the server seems to run. What error do you get in your web browser?

[DocSniper]

Thanks for taking a look.

I get the same error message that the OP had already described: "Failed to load index.html"

Here is another log, maybe there is more in it: https://privatebin.net/?f7474dacf56ee7c ... EFXtdDhTzR

[Aza]

Unfortunately, there not really more info. I added more logs for the next beta.

In the meantime, could you please share a screenshot of the screen that opens when you tap the notification?

Those IPs are weird. Are you using a VPN or any software that interfere with your network?

[DocSniper]

Weird? I prefer using 10.10.10.x/24 rather than 192.168.0.x/24.
So the .103 is my phone's IP, all good.
The 10.182.69.241 is from a device called rmnet, which seems to be related to mobile data. See: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel ... _rmnet.txt
But no matter which of the two addresses I use, I get the error: "Failed to load index.html"

[Aza]

Weird as in not common. But I doubt it's the issue.

If you have curl installed somewhere, could you please try

Code: Select all

curl -L http://10.10.10.103:8080

and copy/paste the result?

[DocSniper]

No problem, since I have Arch Linux on most devices, I also have curl.

The output of curl is exactly like in the browser:

Failed to load index.html

The header is:

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: index.html
Content-Length: 0

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 25
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Edit:

I've now also tested the F-Droid version on a tablet. Same error here.
The rmnet device isn't available here because it doesn't have a SIM card slot and so only one IP.

I found the issue. The important info in your message is in fact that your build comes from F-Droid. As they are building the app themselves, they just don't generate the client code and do not embed it in the app.

We will discuss about it internally to find a solution.

[Aza]

BTW, I created an issue here: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc- ... ssues/3113

[DocSniper]

OK great and thanks for your help.
