Can no longer play MTS files in VLC 3.0.13. The issue showed up in VLC 3.0.12, but may have been earlier because do not update daily.
Can someone else try to play an MTS file to confirm?
This issue occurred a few years back as well, and was randomly fixed before I got along to posting about it. Once confirm the bug will post on VLC forum or submit a VLC bug report.
I also had problems with 3.0.13. Now 3.0.14 has come out. Problems with them. Not the same flow when you skip in the movie. Hacks and stuff. Rolled back to 3.0.12 that works for me.
