Missing permissions dialog after first start of the app

Description

After installation of the app it asks which files should be accessed by it. If you choose standard and type on next you will be redirected on the app info page without any information what to do there. The app should ask for permission to read the media directories. If android does not allow reading only the media directory and requires vlc to read all data then no such option should be displayed to the user.

Expected behavior

The app should prompt for the users permission to access files.

Actual behavior

The app redirects to the app informations page.

Steps to reproduce

  1. clean install
  2. choose standard files as the option in the middle and click next
