    Solved! VLC on Android TV, Folder and File display

    I ended up going back to 3.1.7 to get folders and files to show together. I tried 3.2.3 first, but had the same issue where folders only were listed A-Z, and then the files restarted the alphabet over again with another set of A-Z. I've set Google to not auto update apps for now. So for now...

    Solved! VLC on Android TV, Folder and File display

    That video shows version 3.2.3, where you can see around 3:06 that folders are files are mixed together. That's no longer the case with 3.2.7. I'm going to wait and see what the next upgrade will be like before I downgrade. I did find an old version that is before the sorting changes. I...

    Solved! VLC on Android TV, Folder and File display

    No. When you click on "Group videos by name", the only thing that pops up is the area to change to number of characters used to sort as I said above. If you're seeing that option anywhere, please let me know where. It's not in any setting that I can see.

    That option is "Group videos by name" and the only thing you can change there is "Number of characters used to group by name". The default is set to 6, but there's nothing else in that setting that you can change. So it really changes nothing about the folder/file groupings.

    Solved! VLC on Android TV, Folder and File display

    I let VLC update recently to 3.2.7 on my Sony 43X720E, but the new version lists folders and files in a very annoying way. First the folders are listed under each letter. Then the alphabet starts again listing all the single files only. So for instance all the movies starting with A are no...

    Sony or Samsung 43" 4k TV?

    That explains it then, I hope you never get hit with the ads. I'm tempted to pick up the Samsung and try it, as long as I can return it should blocking the ads not be possible through the router. If I get the Sony, I'll want to get the additional 4 year warranty, and I really hate doing...

    Sony or Samsung 43" 4k TV?

    If you Google "ads on Samsung TVs", you'll see posts by unhappy people after $3000 for a TV, get it home and get hit with ads (and then return the TV). The ads only come up while in the SmartHub, do you ever use the smart features? You must be connected to the internet since you said it has...

    Sony or Samsung 43" 4k TV?

    I was leaning towards the Samsung (especially since a 40" Sony developed bubbles or burn in all over screen within 2 years), but then I had read about the ads in the app section. Seeing ads on a TV that I paid for would just irritate me to no end every time I saw them though, in spite of a...

    Sony or Samsung 43" 4k TV?

    I need to replace a horribly bad screen for my bedroom TV, and it's down to the Sony KD43X720E or the Samsung UN43NU7100FXZA, but I have a few questions. I know the Samsung should have the much better looking screen, better contrast, but very poor viewing angles and ads. Do you really need...

    Are these bubbles delamination?

    We've got other TVs and haven't seen this happen yet. Not to mention my computer monitors which are on a lot more and last for years and years without any problems. Are certain TVs more prone to this than others? I always thought Sony was a quality brand, but maybe it's time to switch. I...

    Are these bubbles delamination?

    This is a 40" Sony Bravia KDL40W600B that I bought the very end of December 2015. For the last 6 months, maybe longer, these bubbles just appeared and are really distracting when watching TV and just seem to keep getting worse. They aren't so visible on the blackest parts of the screen, and skin...
