A VLC folder favourite is different from adding its contents to a playlist
A favourite provides quick browsing access. Adding a folder to a playlist includes media selection, with subfolders included in the documented Android browse action.
A VLC casting conversion setting does not improve the original source
VLC for Android has casting conversion choices and a separate audio passthrough control. Record which path is active before comparing phone and television playback.
Check the VLC Android remote access version before pairing a browser
VideoLAN documents remote access from VLC for Android 3.6, with a device supplied URL and one time password. Confirm that local context before treating a page as the intended remote.
Compare VLC hardware acceleration modes with the same permitted sample
VLC Android documents automatic, disabled, decoding and full acceleration choices. A meaningful comparison changes one mode while keeping the media and observation task stable.

VLC Android documents an option to skip frames during decoding. An intentional local processing choice is different from proving that media packets were lost in transit.
