Android - SMB share - hidden directories (i.e. starting with a decimal) not Displaying even with "show all" and "show hidden files" turned on

In a farily recent previous version of VLC Android (not sure which version), hidden directories would display when the flags "show all" and "show hidden files" were selected.

I very recently updated VLC to the latest Google Play had to offer. For another issue, I then downloaded the latest beta version. I was trying to look for those hidden directories again and was not able to find them. I have confirmed they are still there. These directories are accessed through samba (smb) on my LAN at home. I am able to see other files and directories without any issues on this network server.
