Discovery of VLC servers in the network is a hit and miss. It can not list directories with many files. It just shows those directories as empty. First I thought app had accidentally deleted all files in the directory, but no, it just can not list the files. The threshold seems to be around 20 files or so. This means if you many movies or tv shows under the same directory (normal situation), this app is useless.
