Well, I'm not really care. VLC simply not good enough to play what I want properly long ago. Not sure now. I try to use VLC for android recently, it has same problem with some media same like the desktop version but I like a bit for android version because compare to other android m player, VLC no ads with it Free To Use. Now I use SMPlayer (MPV), K-Lite (MPC) for my PC meanwhile my phone/android base hardware use MX Player (MPV).
MX Player is the best on Android device and read nearly everything ... On PC VLC still rock because with some few search on the net it can play BR and BR iso and also record streaming (but shhh it's both not allowed) but it is still crappy with real DVD reading.

Not used Vlc since i switched to MPC-HC x64 several years ago.....it has an auto shut down function which is handy for me as i have Tinnitus and have a film running in the background when im trying to get to sleep, i find windows sleep function does not always work unlike mpc which will shutdown my pc when the film is finished....8 times out of 10 ive fallen to sleep within the first 10 minutes, some times it takes 2 films.

Shame that free MX Player is plague with ads. Basically a profit making tool.
