I would like to learn more about The VLC Media Player and solve some problems I have been encountering with the various versions of it.
Any help from VLC experts,hobbyist or knowledgeable people in general will be greatly appreciated.
Question #1
The first problem Im having is with the VLC Player on my Windows XP laptop.
When I try to stream(or copy) youtube videos on the VLC Player ,a thumbnail of the youtube video briefly appears at the bottom left corner of the vlc player then an error message appears and the video won't stream (This also happens when i try to copy the video).
Is there something wrong or does this VLC feature simply not work anymore?
Question #2
The next problem I have is with the VLC Android app I have on my new samsung android 7 phone.
When I go into the directory's to brows and play videos from the folders on my 128gb sd card a problem occurs seemingly most of the time, when I press the back arrow of the samsung phone to navigate out of the many folders I have to get to other folders on the sd card, the screen of the vlc android player turns white and one of only ways out of this is to close out of the vlc player and go back forward in to the directories to get back in to the folders in my sd card.
This ruins the browsing and navigation experience because more often than not I cant navigate backwards through my folders without the stupid screen turning white and staying like that until i close out the VLC app and then come back in forward ,WTF!!!.
Note:this appears to be a newer version of VLC Android with some new looks and features.
P.S.
(on my other older samsung smartphone which is an android 6 smartphone I don't have this problem, I can browser and navigate forwards and backwards through my sd card folders in the directories without it ever turning white. Also the vlc player on my amazon fire tablet works fine as well.)
