I recently got a new phone (Samsung Galaxy S21) and I reinstalled VLC media player to listen to music. After giving it the required permissions and letting it access my music folder, it just closed.

When I reopened the app it closed after about a half second. I've tried advice I found online (clearing the cache and data, restarting my phone, etc). But the furthest I've been able to get is by uninstalling VLC, reinstalling it, letting it crash, clearing its data, and reopening it again. This will let me listen to music for about 20 seconds while it loads all of my files, but then it will crash again after getting to 60% parsing of the files.

I've​ also noticed that after crashing it loses all permissions except notifications but even after giving it permissions again it will still crash.

If anyone has a fix for this or can recommend alternative audio file players for android it would be much appreciated.

EDIT: I have (hopefully) found the issue to my problem. I tried giving access to all of my files one at a time to check if any specific album was causing the crash, it turns out that one specific file would crash VLC when it was scanned. The album was just a bunch of flac songs so I don't know why it caused the crash but after banning the files from being scanned VLC seems to work fine right now.

First of all, I went to Settings>Apps>Default and tried sitting it there. There are a ton of ones to chose from. (.voc, .tp, .ram).

Whenever I toggle off and then toggle back on fullscreen, the screen shrinks and does not go back to it's original size. it's been like this ever since i switched to the x64 version of VLC. Does anyone know what the problem is and what the fix is?

I'm on the latest version (VLC 3.0.23 x64)
