Where to download libvlc? [closed]

Question

I can't find where to download libvlc. In fact I already use it in a Windows application I'm developping but I don't remember where I got it and wanted to have a more recent version and the licence info as I read it is LGPL but still not sure. Thanks in advance.

github.com/mfkl/libvlc-nuget and nuget.org/packages/VideoLAN.LibVLC.Windows – Acosta

Old post but since its top on Google, see this answer: #33467557 In short, just download the 7z/zip package and the SDK with libs is there. – Generalist

Answer 1

In their wiki page :

Warning: Please, do not put pre-release test binaries or git-compiles on software sites or on user-forums. We've had bad experiences with this before and we do not appreciate it.

It seems that they want you to pull the code and compile it yourself.

this the code page: https://wiki.videolan.org/GetTheSource/

and this instruction on windows: https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile/

Good luck!

Thank you, so it is for building the whole VLC, is it building the libvlc too ?what about github.com/RSATom/libvlc-sdk ? There's libs file but no dll... – Calaverite

If it provides .lib without .dll. this usually means that it is a static library which you do not need a dll to run it. – Truant

This is what I thought but it doesn't work for me... – Calaverite

If I were you I would compile it in the configuration I need then I will use it – Truant

Just reinstall [standard] vlc. It knows where it was installed previously and has a copy of the library. No need to install the library separately. If you used standard install, this will be:

C:Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC

and the libraries will be in there

The standard version only includes the dlls, not the libs, so it can't be built against. There's a wiki page that discusses generating the libs from the dlls that looks promising. – Zel
