Does that mean that VLC 3.0.0 will now be approved, since there now are no playlists to preserve?

  Nope, that's the point: 3.0.0 will migrate playlists from the old stable version, but not from this beta version, because of a bug in this specific version. And they don't want us to update it without this issue fixed.

    I'm curious, why was the beta version pushed to the app store?
    • jbk 9y ago
      Good point. Because Amazon requested it, because it was solving a major issue with playback of their new device at the time.

        This seems kind of moot, but is it possible to drop this type of playlist feature from VLC 3.0 and remove it from scope? If the feature has a blocking bug you could maybe just drop that feature entirely.

        Maybe stupid question, but why not rename beta to VLC Beta, and release 3.0 as VLC?

    3.0.0 will migrate playlists from the old stable version, but not from this beta version, because of a bug in this specific version When you say "this specific version" as containing a bug are you referring to "this beta version" or "3.0.0"?

    Well, now their VLC is gone altogether, AFAIK. I guess they can't use their incompatible playlists even if they were willing to keep 2.1.1, because 2.1.1 is gone from the store and all devices too.
