VLC doesn't detect media inside Android/media folder

Hi all,

I have 2 phones - Oneplus Nord CE and Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro. The former runs on Android 11 and latter on Android 10. Recently my VLC updated and on CE, it asked for some special file access permissions due to Android 11. Now the issue is the VLC on CE doesn't detect the media files inside the Android/media folder (which also contains the WhatsApp media folder), while in 7 Pro it does. I have given all permissions and included all the directories in settings of VLC in CE. Is this a intended feature or a bug?

Thanks in advance
