Version: 3.0.20
Found another bug: sometimes VLC doesn't output any sound, I open the same movie or stream in another player and it's ok... 🙄

Version: 3.0.20
Number of problems I've had with VLC the last 20 years I couldn't easily fix: 0.
A more flexible video player might not exist.

Version: 3.0.19
I quite can't believe it, but I must say that v3.0.19 really seems to have finally fixed every bug brought by v3.0, many years ago! :-o Compared to v2.2.8, it eats less cpu and the subtitles are way bigger (sometimes overflowing out of the screen), but the subtitles menu works (which was not the case in v2.2.8). So hurray! VLC has come back! :-D I give it back one more star.

Version: 3.0.18
VLC v3 looks like a desperate case... The first mp4 I've tested on v3.0.18 has the audio slightly delayed, while it reads perfectly on VLC 2.2.8 and IINA (the current best alternative to VLC in many points). Strange enough, the .ts format has no issue (while, if you read my former reviews, it was precisely that format that had issues in the first v3 versions...) Hoping everything gets fixed someday. ;-)

Version: 3.0.16
What do we complain about? It only took 3 years and nearly 4 months for v3 to be on a par with v2.2.8... ;-) v3.0.16 seems to have finally ironed out all the brand new bugs of v3.0.0. Well, I've already had a very strange bug where VLC seemed to suddenly try opening every system file it could find! :-o But except for that, after a few days trial, I can say all works ok! — not that I've found anything better in v3 compared to v2.2.8, but at least it works. :-)
