VLC Media Player feature requests

This is a list of feature requests I have for VLC Media Player to keep it as the best media player.

Album art

  1. There should be an option to remove album art/set it to the default image again

Interface

  1. There should be an optional set of options to emulate the mobile VLC interface. The 2 versions are almost entirely different products, so there is a lot to go over here:

  • A dark mode/light mode toggle + a daylight/night toggle

  • An option to enable/disable parsing media

  • An album view for all your albums

  • Changable size of albums
  • Sorting options (A-Z, Z-A, quantity+, quantity-, etc.)
  • Choose what shows up
  • An artists tab
  • Sorting options

  • A tracks tab

  • A Genres tab

  • Sorting options (A-Z, Z-A, quantity+, quantity-, etc.)
  • A history tab

Until then, I might have to use an Android virtual machine for VLC at times, when I get the resources.

Genre

  1. There should be an option to have comma separated values for Genres, as when I put multiple genres (example: pop, rock) it groups pop, rock as its own entry, rather than pop and rock being separate entries. It gets really out of hand when you have hundreds of different genres, and each file is different

Image support

VLC poorly supports image viewing. Since an image is a type of media, images should be playable in VLC, including:

    • PNG
    • JPG
    • JPEG
    • GIF
    • SVG
    • BMP
    • TIF
    • TIFF
    • JFIF
    • JIF
    • ICO
    • WIM
    • WebP
    • PSD
    • WMF
    • PNS
    • QT
    • APNG
    • DIB
    • JP2
    • Other

and more. This is the lowest entry on my list, as it may be a problem for VLC to replace image viewers.
