Hey everyone,

I have been using VLC for a while and just tried streaming some videos over my local network, but I am running into an issue. I have set up a media server & can browse folders through the Local Network section in VLC but not all of my videos show up. When I go to All Videos it says the directory is empty. when I manually browse through the folders they are all visible but the folders appear empty too.

I have double checked the video formats and they should all be supported by VLC. Has anyone else experienced something like this? Could this be a permissions issue or maybe a VLC setting I am overlooking??

As well, I found these resources when doing research on this; https://www.vlc-forum.de/thread/5176-udprpa-developer-stream-senden/ & If anyone have Any tips or advice on how to fix this would be really appreciated I am running VLC on Fire TV, if that helps with context.

Thank you…….

Hello TheCGNer VLC might be having trouble indexing your media files so you can try this-

Ensure VLC has proper access to your network & media server folders.
Go to VLC is settings and try refreshing the media library under the network settings.
While it should not be a format issue, double check that VLC supports all the video formats in those folders.
Ensure your network shares are configured correctly & any firewalls aren't blocking access to the media.
