VLC android scans for media unconditionally for 4 hours before giving option to exclude folders
Hi,
I'm running the latest google play store version of VLC (3.0.11) on Android 7.1 (LineageOS nightly) and I cannot force VLC to show me the "Media library folders" menu in the preferences until AFTER it has finished scanning my entire phone for media. I have a 200GB SD card full of music and this process takes over 4 hours to do... only when the scan is finished can I go into the menu and uncheck everything and then I have to wait another half an hour for VLC to clear its inventory of media again...
I emphatically DO NOT WANT vlc to scan my phone for media, ever, under any circumstances. I cannot prevent it and the process takes ages. Force closing the app just causes it to run the scan again immediately when it is relaunched.
Please give me the option to prevent this.
