VLC is the best video player I have ever seen thank you 💕

Repeat function is now broken in a way that renders the app useless for albums. Repeat off stops playback after a single track at any point in a playlist and repeat all is now the same as repeat one. Edit: 3.6.5 has released, and the problem has not been fixed. Edit 2: correction - this has been fixed but is an option that is inexplicably hidden in display settings, which is hidden inside a menu that isn't settings. Don't know why that's a cheat code, but VLC is 5/5 again

Images of certain videos prior to playing do not correlate with the actual video being played.

This is as close to being the perfect media player as I've been able to find. Clean, unintrusive, and plays pretty much every format going. My only gripes are that there's a slight gap between audio tracks, which is really jarring especially when listening to an album, and that the mobile version doesn't yet seem to have the ability to play Bluray ISOs, which would really come in handy for my home media server. And where did the equalizer go?

The user appreciates the app but suggests adding a “Don’t play alone” checkbox to prevent music playback from stopping during actions like recording or video playback. They also report an issue where MP3 files placed in a specific folder; especially where it put together with the video, sometimes don’t appear, and the video player lacks support for custom secondary audio tracks. They hope these features will be considered in a future update.

Update took away Skip buttons. Why??? Please put Skip buttons back. Now I can't skip videos with one touch. Now I have to back out of a video, then go down the line and find what I want then click on it and that's a pain to do when it's a long TV series cuz I then have to back track and retract a lot.

Scrolling through the videos tab sometimes causes me to switch to the playlists tab which has nothing in it since all my videos are grouped by folder already. It would be nice if we could do away with the playlists tab and also having an easier to grab scroll bar instead of having to touch the absolute edge of the screen and it not being successful half of the time would be great, thanks

I had the app for years and I was very satisfied with it but after a recent update it won't play my wav audios that previously was playing with no issues. I only downloaded it specifically to play wav files so I don't need the app anymore... I'm disappointed Update: It plays wav now, but it keeps stopping playing when I switch to other apps even tho I have my settings set to continue playing no matter what. They fix one thing and something else appears... I hope they fix everything soon...

Had to uninstall as vlc would randomly start playing music on my phone with no interaction from me. Shame as I used to like this app
