VLC media player - Errors

There is no such file path as shown below
/home/bumpy//MUSIC/Classical Music/....
Actual Dolphin path:

/Home /Music /Classical Music


VLC media player - file list interpretation


Dolphin – Classical Music – Actual file list

Why the difference?
How can I correct this?

PROBLEM #2

Have downloaded the lihattv.bin file in the correct ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/sd/

Xdg

How it is working at here...

The KDE and the VLC are using the XDG specifications /1, 2/.

The VLC is reading the Videos/Music/Pictures path information from the ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs:





The user-dirs.dirs is a text file.


The KDE has a gui to edit the Videos/Music/Pictures paths - KDE System Settings > Accont Details > Paths...



What to look

Check that your Videos/Music/Pictures paths are correct from the gui or directly from the text file.

Just looking the Music path:

grep XDG_MUSIC_DIR ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

as an example at here:

:~$ grep XDG_MUSIC_DIR ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Audio"
