VLC uses this protocol (or access module) to read data from a device or network.

Usage

{{protocol |<protocol> |info= |mod= }}

The purpose of the template is to visually inform readers that VLC supports the protocol and through which module.
The page will be added automatically to Category:Protocols.

Parameters:

  • (unnamed) (required): the text in the small box, defaults to ??
  • |info= (optional) extra text
  • |mod= (optional) link to a particular module while displaying the <protocol> given

Enter the protocol name as-is. If the name differs other than casing supply the module name with |mod=

{{Protocol|HTTP}}

For RTSP, the protocol is handled by the live module:

{{Protocol|RTSP|mod=live}}

To say something for Dummy:

{{Protocol|Dummy|info=Fakes codec input, but is no longer used.}}
