Play tracking disabled using VLC due to no valid external player selected - JingAr87 - 2024-01-07
Hi, ive been having this issue since multiple jellyfin android versions ago where if I chose VLC as the external player, play tracking would be disabled as notified by a toast notification upon returning from VLC back to the app. I've tried selecting VLC specifically in the client settings but to no avail. How can I fix this?

Any particular reason you are using external VLC instead of libVLC or exo?

I have the same problem. ExoPlayer doesn't work with some types of Dolby Vision, so I want to use VLC. It used to work, and now it doesn't. I'm getting the same error message.

Having the same problem. I want to use external VLC because it works while I'm on a call, I can still watch videos. MX Player does work correctly, but VLC doesn't.
