VLC does not play the media file I select from the .m3u playlist search results
VLC Android does not play the media file I select from the .m3u playlist search results (after using specific criteria using the "media search" function). This is a bug in the search media functionality.
Description
I am watching IPTV using VLC Android. Whenever I select a media file from .m3u playlist search results after typing the criteria using the "search media" function on top right, VLC plays the incorrect media file (not the one I selected). I have tested this on two different Android devices, using latest version of VLC and in both cases I can confirm this bug is present. NOTE: when you don't type anything in the search media function, but instead just select a random media from the list in search media, then it does play the correct media play.
Expected behavior
VLC plays the media file I select from the search media results (after entering specific search criteria)
Actual behavior
VLC plays a random media file from the playlist.
Steps to reproduce
- Open random media from .m3u video playlist
- Touch the screen and select the top right icon to search media
- Now you should see the full playlist and you can search the playlist
- Use a random search criteria (the file must exist)
- Select the video from the list after using the criteria
- You will notice that VLC plays the wrong media file
