You're the guy behind VLC for Android? Amazing job, it really is an essential app I couldn't live without! The only problem is years pass and I still can't find how to turn a directory into a playlist without hand-checking every single file in it (for me this usually means hundreds).

On the folder, in the directory view, click on the play button and then save the playlist
Cool! Thanks a lot! This is it! However there still is a problem. In the past I used to just play entire directories (switched to using playlists then) but after an update (about half a year ago or earlier) and ever since it stopped playing some big directories (with many hundreds of files in them). Before that it was just enqueuing the files, then sort of hanging for some dozens seconds and working. Now the name of the directory just appears in the playing queue and nothing happens, it doesn't get expanded into the files list. But who knows, perhaps I just have to wait longer...
