  • Videos playing in File Manager instead of VLC?

This may be more of a general Android question:

Whenever I select a video and choose open with VLC it plays within the File Manager app instead of opening in VLC separately. How do I stop this happening?

At the moment it plays all videos in the File Manager app so if I minimize the app the videos stops and it does not remember the position I was at.

Also I tried to find where the default ‘Play Video’ setting is in the Apps section. It does not appear to be there?

Thank you

    GI1 Use the VLC's file browsing feature instead forwarding them to another app by file manager. That way you will not be leaving the player. I remember from the time I used it that the option to remember the position is in the settings and should be toggled on to be utilized. To prevent hiccups when resuming playback you can set the app battery use to unrestricted.
