  • (If possible) Application standard output when the issue happens:
flatpak run eu.ithz.umftpd

Description

  1. Steps to reproduce the issue: Add the ftp credentials to VLC for android
  2. Unexpected behavior: The root folder opens and I can see all the folders, but unable to open any folder. Also once this happens the ftp server is "broken".
  3. Expected behavior: Should work fine just like VLC for Apple TV. The same FTP credentials work great on VLC for Apple TV

I am attaching log with python errors. Possibly because VLC for android tries to open folders in the background it causes your python code to crash? vlc-android.txt
