VLC media player

When searching in VLC, the search will not show all files that have the search terms in the filename. I haven’t found any common thing between these, but the media folder does have over 500 files in various subfolders in Files app. I have turned the automatically generated virtual folders off, because they were extremely random. I have dozens of files that have the same identifier word at the start, but those aren’t grouped into a folder. Instead, VLC groups random parts of words together into 3-10 file folders. When you turn the random folders off, VLC lists the whole actual subfolder structure in one long list of files. Finding specific files is a pain. Couple that with the hit and miss iPadOS Files search feature and it means there is no working search on iPadOS for media files.

Can play downloaded music without iTunes sync. Nice.

Listen your music without youtube nor itunes. It just works. I'm happy.

Really great tool! No advertisement or any bs. I mainly use VLC as an audio player. Every time if I pause & play the audio — it skips (mutes) a few seconds, very annoying. It could be due to fade-in/fade-out or buffering but please fix or offer an option to disable this behavior.

The app can't find videos on my ipad, it has a scan option in settings, but it can't find anything nor it allows to open local folders.

Only connects to one chromecast, which is not the desired one. Other ones are not visible.

While latest update said “fixed silence on repeat” it was nor done actually. When I open video I already saw there is no sound.

My media library disappeared with this version. The VLC directory info reports multiple items taking multiple gb of space, but VLC shows the folder as empty.

It seems that resuming the playback of audio files is somewhat unreliable after updating to ios 17

3.4.5 problem where the ipad native top nav bar stays open during fullscreen viewing. No measures such as refreshing the view have got rid of the top bar.
