Therefore, the first step to fix VLC 4K media playability issues is to download the latest version of VLC 3.0 Media Player and try it out to watch high-definition videos without any disturbance. Following some easy ways to convert an M3U Playlist URL using VLC. I guess this is more of a kudos post to Microsoft for doing such a bang up job on their programing.
