VLC for WP 8.1 bugs
Sorry if something (or everyting) is wrong with category, type or entire report itself: first time on this site.
VLC for Windows Phone beta, currently at v1.0.7.0. All files I've tried to run I've placed on Kingston MicroSD 64Gb UHS-I.
-
App does not recognise files in Video folder on SDCard, It does show some of them on VLC home tab in "top videos", but on Videos tab there's nothing. Have to go to SDCard and pick them myself;
-
.m4v that was designed for AppleTV\iPad\iPhone that I was converting myself or downloaded from web are not working at all, player does not even get the full runtime or preview of such files. Also, phone gets really hot in the area of SoC and SDCard. So, I tried repacking them to .mp4 with AAC 6ch audio (was DTS 6ch), here's MediaInfo of result:

Still does not work, result is the same. However, 720p .mp4 downloaded from YouTube with SaveFrom.Net are working just fine.
- .mkv's are opening, but they are lagging beyond watchable, stutter, there's glitches and artifacts. If there is subtitles, they do not clear for new ones to appear, so in 5 minutes on a space, where they should be there is just a grey mess of letters. External\internal subtitles in both .srt or .ass are not working, I've selectng them manually -- nothing. Here's mediainfo of file I've tried:

- Music! What is working quite good is music. It does find automatically files on SDcard and adds them to Music tab, it does recognise the covers, but I still don't get, why covers are of such poor quality, did it resize them? I've uploaded .mp4's with 700x700 folder.jpg in both tags and as a file in folder with album, but when song is playing the cover are of poor quality, with jpeg artifacts and such. Single files with folder.jpg embeded in them (but no file besides them) are displaying without cover at all.
