VLC, no media files found

[nikhil_kaimal]

Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
Model Name: ROG Phone 5
Firmware Version: RKQ1.201022.002.WW_Phone-18.0840.2106.86
Rooted or not: Not rooted
Frequency of Occurrence: Each time VLC app opens
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app): VLC 3.3.4
This issue occurs each time I open the VLC app. Then when I click on 'GO TO MEDIALIBRARY PREFERENCES' and select Internal Memory, it shows all the videos. But once you temporarily leave and open it again i.e. switch apps or restart it, it again shows 'No media files found'.
I tried disabling Auto rescan in settings, and in that case the media files persist between switching apps and restarting VLC. However, in that case no new media files are shown. Only existing ones. And if you have deleted, they still show.

Same issue on KMPlayer v31.08.120
Works without issues on MX Player v1.39.8

Ok I have now downloaded the beta version (3.4.0 Beta 6) and the issue is not there in this version, so it seems like an issue with VLC only !

Hello,
There is a lot of change with Android 11 on storage and rights, internal, external, file types, file location ...... not complete list
Do not put your multimedia files on the root, in an application, as the Rog does not have an SDCard, thank you Asus :(, use the default directories or (external with OTG but it is not patique)
If the application cannot find the files and they are well placed and the permissions are correct, the developer has certainly not done enough compatibility test with Android 11.
Contact the developer and / or Change application.
