Playlists can't be played

Description

Since Google Play updated VLC my Playlists created with VLC are neither shown in the corresponding tab, nor can I play them when selecting them in the directory browser.

Expected behavior

It should show playlists like in the previous versions.

Actual behavior

Playlists can't be played nor displayed or opened in any way. The XSPF playlists are not gone, which would have made my heart stop for a moment, they still reside within the app-related directories.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to "Playlists"
  2. See no XSPF playlists created with previous versions
  3. Cry.

Example of one of the XSPF files:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">
<title>2019-01-14</title>
<trackList>
<track><location>file:///storage/emulated/0/Music/[...]</location></track>
</trackList>
</playlist>
