This page gives the current list of ideas for VideoLAN project, for the [https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com Google Summer Of Code 2026] program.

The list is long, but it is not exhaustive, and not limitative. Feel free to apply with '''your own idea!''', we love original ideas and value them.

== Introduction & Information ==
[[File:Asterix VLC.svg|frameless|right]]

This page covers the [[VideoLAN]] program as a mentoring organization for [http://code.google.com/soc/ Google Summer of Code], in order to improve [[VLC]], [[VLMC]] and [https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d dav1d] (or the [[libVLC]] engine), but also the VideoLAN infrastructure and some other related projects.

We have projects in '''C''', '''C++''', '''Rust''', '''ASM''', '''JS''', '''Wasm''', '''Go''', '''Obj-C''', '''GPU Shaders''', '''C#''', '''Java/Kotlin''' and '''Swift'''.

=== Summer of Code ===

Google Summer of Code is a way for anyone to work on open source projects and become top developers, while being paid by Google.

[[VideoLAN]] was a ''Google Summer of Code'' mentoring organization in [[SoC 2007|2007]], [[SoC 2008|2008]], [[SoC 2009|2009]], [[SoC 2010|2010]], [[SoC 2011|2011]], [[SoC 2013|2013]], [[SoC 2016|2016]], [[SoC_2017|2017]], [[SoC_2018|2018]], [[SoC_2019|2019]], [[SoC_2020|2020]], [[SoC_2021|2021]], [[SoC_2022|2022]], [[SoC_2023|2023]], [[SoC_2024|2024]] and [[SoC_2025|2025]].

This page lists some ideas for Summer of Code projects on '''dav1d''', '''dav2d''', '''libVLC''' and {{VLC}}, but also on ''VLC infrastructure'' projects.<br>
We accept ideas also on other multimedia projects related to {{VLC}}.

=== VLC & libVLC ===

{{VLC}} is a cross-platform multimedia player, encoder and streamer application. It is one of the most successful open-source projects worldwide.

{{VLC}} is downloaded at an approximate monthly rate of 25 millions from the main website and that's not including third-party distributions (Linux)!

You can find more information on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLC_media_player VLC on Wikipedia] or on this [[Main Page|wiki]].

The engine of VLC is '''libVLC''', and is used by '''VLMC''' and mobile versions of VLC.

=== dav1d / dav2d ===

'''dav1d''' is the reference AV1 decoder that is shipped inside VLC, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Windows and macOS/iOS.

'''dav2d''' is the reference AV2 decoder that is all new.

Those are very low-level codec, mostly written in C and assembly.

=== Summer of Code rules ===

If selected and developed, SoC projects for dav1d and VLC will be included in later releases.

All projects are covered by the GPL (v2+) or LGPL (v2.1+) licenses depending on the module. Projects on dav1d and dav2d are BSD licensed.

The VideoLAN [[CoC|Code of Conducts]] applies to all Summer projects.

Additionally, the VideoLAN AI policy for GSoC, detailed below, applies.

== VideoLAN AI Policy for GSoC Participants ==

AI tools can be valuable for experienced developers who already understand the code they are working with. However, when you are still learning, they can do far more harm than good: they shortcut the thinking, debugging, and problem-solving that are the entire point of a program like GSoC. You will not become a better developer by letting a model write your code, your proposals, or your emails.

'''AI-generated content is not permitted in any part of your GSoC participation with VideoLAN.'''

This includes, but is not limited to:
* Code contributions (patches, modules, tests)
* Project proposals and applications
* Communications with mentors (emails, chat messages, meeting notes)
* Bug reports and merge request descriptions

If you have a question about the code-base or your project, ask your mentor: that is what they are there for.

=== Enforcement ===

Contributions or communications that appear to be AI-generated will be rejected. A first violation will result in a formal warning. Further violations may lead to a failing evaluation.

=== Qualification tasks ===

Proposals and qualification tasks that show signs of AI generation will result in the applicant not being selected.

== How to Start ==
=== Find an idea ===
First, you need to find an idea.

This current page gives you a list of ideas. Those ideas are '''NOT exhaustive''': you can bring your own idea! Some of the best ideas we've ever had were '''custom''' ideas!

The duration of the projects is indicative, and can be adapted, if needed.

'''TALK''' to the team to get more ideas.

=== Submit your idea ===
You need to submit your idea on the ''Google Summer of Code'' platform.

You should do so, very quickly, even before having finished compilation and the next steps, so that we can give you early feedback.

=== Compile VLC or libVLC ===
This may sound trivial, but it's harder than many expect. You must compile the project you want to work on.

See https://wiki.videolan.org/Category:Building/ for more informations.

You should come on [[IRC]] to get help to compile.

=== Provide a small patch ===
To demonstrate your skills, share a small patch with us. This will let you become familiar with [[Git]], in case you don't know it already and our process on [https://code.videolan.org our gitlab].

=== Let's get in touch ===

If you have a doubt, are not sure about anything or want clarification, please get in touch with us.

We have 3 major communication channels:
* Our [https://mailman.videolan.org/mailman/listinfo mailing-lists] to discuss patches and further development related topics;
* Furthermore, we have our [http://forum.videolan.org web forums] for VLC-related end-user support - a VLMC section will be created once the product is published.
* Finally, there is our IRC channel ''#videolan'' (for libVLC) and ''#vlmc'' on the ''libera'' network. It's open to any kind of discussion. Usage issues, questions how to compile VLC/VLMC, getting to know the fellow developers, etc.

== Advanced Audio Filters ==

'''Project Description''':
We are looking for a skilled audiophile that knows a lot about audio theory and practice to work on new audio filters for VLC.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Tasks to do''':
* SRS WoW like or other 3D effects;
* channels mixing, notably upmixing, like Prologic-II;
* tracks mixing, and transitions;
* scriptable new audio filters in lua and enable users to create whatever audio filtering function they want in a Lua script;

== VLC Qt interface redesign ==
'''Project Description''':
The VLC interface is quite outdated on Linux and Windows. It has a lot of features, but some are not properly exposed.

We are currently reworking the interface, but we need help.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

Use the new designs shared on the mailing list, and help developping part of those, using '''Qml'''.

This new interface is simpler, more user friendly, and has a better "media center" feel into it.

It requires integration with the media library and with the current interface.

Qml is the technology needed to improve the current UI.

'''Requirements''':
This project requires '''Qt/C++''' knowledge, and qml would be a nice plus.

''Proposed mentor: Pierre''

== VLC Skins2 interface update ==
'''Project Description''':
The VLC Skins2 interface was not updated for the latest interface and core changes for the media player and playlist engine yet.

We are currently reworking the interface, but we need help. Fixing the Winamp skins compatibilities would be nice.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

* wayland integration
* video integration rework (like Qt interface)
* medialibrary integration

'''Requirements''':
This project requires '''Qt/C++''' knowledge, and qml would be a nice plus.

''Proposed mentor: Pierre''

== VLC macOS interface redesign ==
'''Project Description''':
The VLC interface is quite outdated on macOS and we are currently in the process of re-writing it to give it a modern feel, but also to integrate recent additions to libvlc regarding playback control and library management.

This project for the summer is to rework heavily this interface to make it beautiful and useful again.

'''Duration''': 350h or 175h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

There is a full design already done and tested.

The major hurdle is to actually implement it the way we want it to be. The iOS/tvOS interface is simpler, more user friendly, and has a better "media center" feel into it, which influenced what we want to achieve on the Mac.
Note that the objective is to use AppKit. UIKit will not be part of this project.

Iterating from the current UI and closely collaborating with the team currently working on it is a requirement.

'''Requirements''':
This project requires '''Obj-C''' knowledge, a thorough understanding of OOP and proven previous Mac development experience. You cannot use swift for this project.

''Proposed mentor: David Fuhrmann, Felix Paul Kühne''

== VLC watchOS port ==
'''Project Description''':
VLCKit recently added support for playback of audio files on watchOS with support for http streams coming in a future update. The idea is to create a new, standalone app for watchOS that can play local files on device with a good way to synchronize those either from a computer or the app on the companion iPhone. The UI development needs to be done in SwiftUI following the restrictions of the platform.

'''Duration''': 350h

''Proposed mentor: Diogo Simao Marques, Felix Paul Kühne''

== Add back netsync module ==

'''Project Description''':
Use the new vlc clock to add back the netsync module

* Expose some vlc_clock APIs to be used by "control" module
* Plug the vlc_clock API inside the new module

'''Requirements''':
Very good C knowledge

''Proposed mentor: Thomas Guillem''

== VLC iOS UI update ==
'''Project Description''':
We're currently in the process of rewriting and updating the entire UI for VLC iOS

There is a lot of components that need refactoring and need to get an updated UI.

The Android port of VLC has done most of that and was successful. We need the same level of features.

'''Duration''': 350h or 175h

'''Tasks to do''':

* Get an overview of the current App and components that need an update
* Refactor and give the appropriate components a new look
* See what is missing compared to the Android version
* Code it :

'''Requirements''':
This project requires '''Obj-C''' and '''Swift''' knowledge and ideally knowledge of writing tests for iOS but this can be learned.

''Proposed mentor: Felix Paul Kühne, Diogo Simao Marques ''

== Android Medialibrary cache management ==

'''Description:'''
for upcoming features, the Android port (first and then all the ports) will need a medialibrary caching mechanism. https://code.videolan.org/videolan/medialibrary/-/issues/293

Using the new libvlc HTTP client, the medialibrary should be able to download a media, save its download state in the DB and expose all the needed APIs to the ports.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Tasks to do:'''
- Write the full API
- Download/delete local files
- Persist the state in the DB
- Send the download events
Requirements: This projects requires C++ and SQL knownledge. Java/JNI knowledge can help to (but can be learned)

Proposed mentor: Alaric Senat, Nicolas Pomepuy

== Qt integration tests ==
'''Project Description''':
In order to improve the robustness of our application, we would like to develop integration tests for the Qt interfac.e The goal being to ensure that new features and refactors won't break other parts of the UI.

'''Duration''': 350h or 175h

'''Scope of the Tasks to do''':

* study existing solutions used in other open-source projects (https://invent.kde.org/sdk/selenium-webdriver-at-spi)
* adapt test framework to our environment
* write sample test cases
* study CI integration feasibility (Linux and/or Windows tests)

'''Requirements''':
This project requires Qt/C++ and some scripting language (pyhton?) knowledge, Qml would be a nice plus.

''Proposed mentor: Pierre''

== Update the Lua integration ==

'''Project description''':
The current extension implementation in Lua needs more love to make them first class citizen (they are currently loaded by GUI instead of the core).

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Tasks to do''':
* update libvlccore to load Lua extensions instead of the GUI
* work on a better descriptive abstraction for lua stream parsers extensions which needs to extract data from the webpage. (currently done by manual read())
* more testing infrastructure for the scripts

'''Requirements''':
* Lua and C knowledge, c++ is a plus

'''Proposed mentor''': Alexandre Janniaux

== Port the remote access webserver to VLC Desktop ==

'''Description''':
To remotely access and control a VLC instance, a webserver has been developped for VLC Android. The goal is to port it to VLC desktop.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Tasks to do''':
* Extract the web client code from the VLC for Android reprository to a dedicated one
* Write the server part in VLC desktop using lua scripts
* Adapt the client to be compatible with the new VLC desktop web server

'''Proposed mentor''': Nicolas

== demux Rust bindings and AVI module for VLC ==

VLC has already its first Rust (logger) module: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/commit/e8e46b0d915d153a58d002c9d6f19a7dbdfeeca9

There was a proposal to add several Rust bindings and example: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/merge_requests/2738

Tasks
* Adapt demux API Rust bindings to upstream VLC
* Add a new AVI demux module to test the new bindings (Using the nom crate: https://crates.io/crates/nom/)

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Requirements''': Good C knowledge and very good Rust knowledge

'''Proposed mentors''': Thomas Guillem and Alexandre Janniaux

== integrate checkasm tooling and improve existing asm coverage ==

'''Description''':
VLC has some amount of existing assembly (yadif, video chroma) but we lack test coverage for it and also could use more for newer architectures

'''Tasks to do''':
* Integrate checkasm for validation (against a C baseline) and benchmarking (similarly to what's done in dav1d)
* Convert the existing assembly to use it
* Add new optimizations for things like audio/video format conversions, filters and also for newer arch's (riscv etc.)

'''Duration''': 175h or 350h

'''Proposed mentors''': Marvin Scholz, Nathan Egge, Tristan Matthews

== Vulkan video filters: tonemapping and subtitles ==

'''Description''':

VLC has a work-in-progress Vulkan video output (branch), but it is missing features that already exist in the OpenGL output. This project focuses on integrating libplacebo tonemapping and implementing subtitle rendering through the Vulkan pipeline.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Tasks to do''':
* libplacebo tonemapping: use the libplacebo API to generate Vulkan shaders for HDR tonemapping, and integrate them into VLC's Vulkan rendering pipeline;
* subtitles handling: implement a Vulkan subtitle renderer (texture upload, blending, render pass integration), based on the existing OpenGL implementation.

Requirements:
This project requires good C knowledge, good Vulkan knowledge, and familiarity with graphics pipelines. OpenGL experience is a plus for reading the reference implementation.

'''Proposed mentors''': Thomas Guillem

== Vulkan video filters: deinterlace, adjust and others ==

'''Description''':
Continuing the work on VLC's Vulkan video output (branch), this project ports the remaining video filters from the OpenGL output to Vulkan. This includes the deinterlace filter and adjust-style filters (brightness, contrast, saturation, etc.).

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Tasks to do''':
* deinterlace filter: port the existing deinterlace filter to Vulkan, using Vulkan compute or fragment shaders for multi-field temporal processing;
* adjust and other video filters: port adjust (brightness, contrast, saturation, gamma) and other video filters to Vulkan shaders;
* all existing OpenGL video filters should be ported.

Requirements:
This project requires good C knowledge, good Vulkan and OpenGL knowledge, and experience writing GPU shaders (GLSL/SPIR-V).

'''Proposed mentors''': Thomas Guillem

== Lua Declarative UI Framework for Extensions ==

'''Project Description''':

The current dialog API available to Lua extensions is limited to a small set of
widgets (labels, buttons, text inputs, checkboxes, dropdowns, lists) placed on a
fixed grid, making it difficult to build rich extension interfaces.

We want to
replace this with a modern declarative UI model inspired by SwiftUI and Jetpack
Compose, where the extension describes its interface as a function of state and
the framework handles rendering and updates.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

The project involves designing a new vlc.ui Lua module where extensions
declare their interface using nested widget constructor calls that return a
description table rather than imperatively creating widgets one by one. A
reactive state primitive (vlc.ui.state()) should use Lua metatables to track
writes and mark the UI as dirty for re-rendering.

On the C side, a bridge in modules/lua/libs/ui.c will walk the Lua widget
tree, diff it against the previous tree, and emit create/update/remove
operations toward a platform renderer. The initial renderer target is the Qt/QML
interface, mapping abstract widgets (column, row, text, button, text_field,
toggle, slider, dropdown, list, image, progress) to their QML equivalents. The
framework should support layout containers with spacing, alignment and flexible
sizing, a small set of semantic styles (title, body, caption, primary,
destructive) rather than raw values, and efficient list rendering with a row
template function.

The old vlc.dialog API must remain functional for backward compatibility.
Porting one or two existing extensions to the new API will serve as validation.

'''Requirements''':

This project requires strong '''C''' knowledge for the bridge and tree diffing
logic, familiarity with '''Lua''' and its C API for the module implementation,
and some experience

with '''Qt/QML''' for the renderer side. Understanding of reactive UI paradigms
(SwiftUI, Compose, React) is strongly recommended.

''Proposed mentor: 'Alexandre Janniaux (espresso)'

== Lua API HTTP bindings ==
'''Project Description''':
To make interacting with REST APIs in Lua easier and support other HTTP verbs than just GET, we need bindings
from the VLC HTTP library to our Lua script API.

This projects goal is to add a simple Lua API to do HTTP GET, POST and HEAD requests and possibly some more abstract
service API, depending on project duration.

'''Duration''': 350h or 175h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

VLC already has a mostly complete HTTP API that is able to do HTTP(s) requests and handle the reply. The main task for this GSoC will involve around how to expose this very low level API in a ergonomic and easy to use fashion as Lua APIs for our Lua scripts to use. Abstract around the session handling and cookie handling and provide ways to properly construct a HTTP request from Lua, with custom HTTP headers, if desired, and a way to fetch the reply status, headers, and read the body content.

Some minor changes to the VLC HTTP library might be necessary in some cases.

'''Requirements''':
This project requires strong '''C''' and '''Lua''' API knowledge, a thorough understanding of how Lua bindings and the HTTP protocol works.

''Proposed mentor: Marvin Scholz, Alexandre Janniaux''

== Lua Script Test Harness ==

'''Project Description''':

VLC and the community ship Lua scripts (playlist parsers, service discovery,
extensions, art fetchers) but has no way to test them outside of a running VLC
instance. When a website changes its markup, the corresponding playlist parser
breaks silently and the problem is only discovered through user bug reports.

We want a lightweight test harness that can load and exercise VLC Lua scripts
against fixture data without requiring a VLC build at all.

'''Duration''': 175h or 350h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

The core idea is to build a standalone binary that embeds a Lua interpreter,
registers the same `vlc.*` module tables that VLC exposes to scripts, but backs
them with mock implementations instead of real VLC core calls.

A recording mode where a patched VLC session captures real HTTP responses as
fixture files would make it easy to turn bug reports into reproductible
regression tests for lua writers.

The deliverable is a test runner that can be use to start the different scripts,
like: vlc-lua-mock --mode=playlist --input http://playlist.url/foo.m3u8 playlist.lua
and support extensions, and provide a "mock" framework to lua to be able to run
unittests as well.

'''Requirements''': This project requires C or Rust knowledge for refactoring,
compiling and linking against VLC's Lua binding sources and writing mock
backends, and some '''Lua''' knowledge for the test framework, fixture engine,
and writing the actual tests.

Familiarity with test frameworks and test methodology is a plus.

''Proposed mentor: 'Alexandre Janniaux (espresso)'

== Use vcpkg contribs ==
'''Project Description''':
VLC depends on 130 contrib packages that are external libraries used by VLC and its modules.
A lot of these packages are also available in package systems like vcpkg. This could be an alternative way
to build VLC by using common packages. This would allow more native builds of VLC, especially on Windows
(ie without relying on a POSIX shell).

The meson build system is capable of using vcpkg packages although it's not the default mode of vcpkg.

This projects goal is to add support for as many packages as possible in the vcpkg system to match the existing contribs.

'''Duration''': 350h or 175h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

The main task will be to add package dependencies in vcpkg for all the platforms we support and then adapting the patches found in contribs
to the same packages found in vcpkg. This should be usable from our meson build system.

'''Requirements''':
This project requires knownledge of '''meson''', '''make''' and '''CMake''' and package dependencies.

== dav1d statistics extractions ==

The [https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d dav1d] AV1 decoder is a new high performance AV1 decoder by
VideoLAN.

Current open source tools for AV1 analysis use instrumentation in the reference decoder [https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom libaom] to extract decode-time metadata for display and reporting, but support for sophisticated analysis is lacking.

To speed development of AV1 tools like the rav1e, it would be helpful to add similar decoder metadata extraction APIs to the dav1d decoder so that rapid testing of encoder algorithms is easier. This includes the ability to quickly produce statistics, visualizations and other
reporting that can be used for tuning encoder parameters or guiding development. Advanced ideas include adding similar encoder metadata API to rav1e that add encode-time visualizations.

'''Requirements''': This project requires '''C''' knowledge.

'''Duration''': 175h

= Ideas for libplacebo =

== Direct3D 11 backend ==

'''Project Description:'''

libplacebo uses a GPU abstraction with a number of backends. The goal would be
to add a new backend based on Direct3D 11, since Vulkan and OpenGL support on
Windows are often of limited quality, especially for older hardware.

Lots of example code for how this implementation would look can be found [https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/video/out/d3d11/ra_d3d11.c as part of the mpv project ].

Large parts can be copy/pasted and adapted to the libplacebo API.

'''Tasks to do:'''

# Add a new `pl_gpu` backend based on Direct3D 11
# Integration into the build system, test framework and CI infrastructure

'''Requirements:'''

* Knowledge of '''C''' as well as, ideally, graphics API fundamentals. (But the latter can be learned as part of the project)
* Ability to develop and test on Windows

'''Duration''': 175h

== Dolby Vision Profile 5 (IPT-PQ) ==

'''Project Description:'''

Dolby IPT-PQ is a HDR color space similar to ITU-R ICtCp, but with proprietary
Dolby modifications (reshaping algorithm). Your goal is to implement this
reshaper in the form of a GLSL shader, using knowledge from known Dolby
patents and dumped headers.

'''Tasks to do:'''

# Figure out, and (if necessary) reverse engineer the stream format for the Dolby reshaping algorithm described in several of their patents.
# Implement this algorithm in GLSL
# Integration into libplacebo (optional)
# Test against reference implementations of Dolby Vision profile 5

'''Requirements:'''

* Knowledge of '''GLSL''' and '''C'''. Knowledge of colorspaces in general is an obvious plus, but the theory here is not important - only the implementation.
* (Possibly) Ability to reverse engineer any still-unknown or differing-from-patents parts of the stream headers.

Knowledge of libplacebo internals is not required, since the skeleton code for
this already exists - what's missing is the reshaping algorithm.

== GPU motion interpolation (mvtools) ==

'''Project Description'''

Your goal is to develop GPU shaders for motion-adaptive frame interpolation in the style of [mvtools](https://github.com/dubhater/vapoursynth-mvtools).

This is an open-ended project. If not completed, any progress towards this goal is good enough.

'''Sub-goals:'''
# Recreate the motion vector search algorithms from MAnalyze
# Implement the pixel masking and pixel flow algorithms from MFlowFps

These can be tackled and complete out-of-order.

'''Requirements:'''
* Good knowledge of both C and GLSL, especially compute shaders and other GPGPU techniques. (CUDA or OpenCL skills also transfer, though the shader will have to be GLSL)
* Ideally, general knowledge of video processing techniques (e.g. motion vector search) - at least enough to be able to understand what mvtools code is doing.

This page gives the current list of ideas for VideoLAN project, for the [https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com Google Summer Of Code 2026] program.

The list is long, but it is not exhaustive, and not limitative. Feel free to apply with '''your own idea!''', we love original ideas and value them.

== Introduction & Information ==
[[File:Asterix VLC.svg|frameless|right]]

This page covers the [[VideoLAN]] program as a mentoring organization for [http://code.google.com/soc/ Google Summer of Code], in order to improve [[VLC]], [[VLMC]] and [https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d dav1d] (or the [[libVLC]] engine), but also the VideoLAN infrastructure and some other related projects.

We have projects in '''C''', '''C++''', '''Rust''', '''ASM''', '''JS''', '''Wasm''', '''Go''', '''Obj-C''', '''GPU Shaders''', '''C#''', '''Java/Kotlin''' and '''Swift'''.

=== Summer of Code ===

Google Summer of Code is a way for anyone to work on open source projects and become top developers, while being paid by Google.

[[VideoLAN]] was a ''Google Summer of Code'' mentoring organization in [[SoC 2007|2007]], [[SoC 2008|2008]], [[SoC 2009|2009]], [[SoC 2010|2010]], [[SoC 2011|2011]], [[SoC 2013|2013]], [[SoC 2016|2016]], [[SoC_2017|2017]], [[SoC_2018|2018]], [[SoC_2019|2019]], [[SoC_2020|2020]], [[SoC_2021|2021]], [[SoC_2022|2022]], [[SoC_2023|2023]], [[SoC_2024|2024]] and [[SoC_2025|2025]].

This page lists some ideas for Summer of Code projects on '''dav1d''', '''dav2d''', '''libVLC''' and {{VLC}}, but also on ''VLC infrastructure'' projects.<br>
We accept ideas also on other multimedia projects related to {{VLC}}.

=== VLC & libVLC ===

{{VLC}} is a cross-platform multimedia player, encoder and streamer application. It is one of the most successful open-source projects worldwide.

{{VLC}} is downloaded at an approximate monthly rate of 25 millions from the main website and that's not including third-party distributions (Linux)!

You can find more information on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLC_media_player VLC on Wikipedia] or on this [[Main Page|wiki]].

The engine of VLC is '''libVLC''', and is used by '''VLMC''' and mobile versions of VLC.

=== dav1d / dav2d ===

'''dav1d''' is the reference AV1 decoder that is shipped inside VLC, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Windows and macOS/iOS.

'''dav2d''' is the reference AV2 decoder that is all new.

Those are very low-level codec, mostly written in C and assembly.

=== Summer of Code rules ===

If selected and developed, SoC projects for dav1d and VLC will be included in later releases.

All projects are covered by the GPL (v2+) or LGPL (v2.1+) licenses depending on the module. Projects on dav1d and dav2d are BSD licensed.

The VideoLAN [[CoC|Code of Conducts]] applies to all Summer projects.

== VideoLAN AI Policy for GSoC Participants ==

AI tools can be valuable for experienced developers who already understand the code they are working with. However, when you are still learning, they can do far more harm than good: they shortcut the thinking, debugging, and problem-solving that are the entire point of a program like GSoC. You will not become a better developer by letting a model write your code, your proposals, or your emails.

'''AI-generated content is not permitted in any part of your GSoC participation with VideoLAN.'''

This includes, but is not limited to:
* Code contributions (patches, modules, tests)
* Project proposals and applications
* Communications with mentors (emails, chat messages, meeting notes)
* Bug reports and merge request descriptions

If you have a question about the code-base or your project, ask your mentor: that is what they are there for.

=== Enforcement ===

Contributions or communications that appear to be AI-generated will be rejected. A first violation will result in a formal warning. Further violations may lead to a failing evaluation.

=== Qualification tasks ===

Proposals and qualification tasks that show signs of AI generation will result in the applicant not being selected.

== How to Start ==
=== Find an idea ===
First, you need to find an idea.

This current page gives you a list of ideas. Those ideas are '''NOT exhaustive''': you can bring your own idea! Some of the best ideas we've ever had were '''custom''' ideas!

The duration of the projects is indicative, and can be adapted, if needed.

'''TALK''' to the team to get more ideas.

=== Submit your idea ===
You need to submit your idea on the ''Google Summer of Code'' platform.

You should do so, very quickly, even before having finished compilation and the next steps, so that we can give you early feedback.

=== Compile VLC or libVLC ===
This may sound trivial, but it's harder than many expect. You must compile the project you want to work on.

See https://wiki.videolan.org/Category:Building/ for more informations.

You should come on [[IRC]] to get help to compile.

=== Provide a small patch ===
To demonstrate your skills, share a small patch with us. This will let you become familiar with [[Git]], in case you don't know it already and our process on [https://code.videolan.org our gitlab].

=== Let's get in touch ===

If you have a doubt, are not sure about anything or want clarification, please get in touch with us.

We have 3 major communication channels:
* Our [https://mailman.videolan.org/mailman/listinfo mailing-lists] to discuss patches and further development related topics;
* Furthermore, we have our [http://forum.videolan.org web forums] for VLC-related end-user support - a VLMC section will be created once the product is published.
* Finally, there is our IRC channel ''#videolan'' (for libVLC) and ''#vlmc'' on the ''libera'' network. It's open to any kind of discussion. Usage issues, questions how to compile VLC/VLMC, getting to know the fellow developers, etc.

'''Requirements''':
This project needs some good audio knowledge and good C experience.

'''Qualification task:'''
Port any audio filter from MPlayer

''Proposed mentor: unidan ''

== VLC Qt interface redesign ==
'''Project Description''':
The VLC interface is quite outdated on Linux and Windows. It has a lot of features, but some are not properly exposed.

We are currently reworking the interface, but we need help.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

Use the new designs shared on the mailing list, and help developping part of those, using '''Qml'''.

This new interface is simpler, more user friendly, and has a better "media center" feel into it.

It requires integration with the media library and with the current interface.

Qml is the technology needed to improve the current UI.

'''Requirements''':
This project requires '''Qt/C++''' knowledge, and qml would be a nice plus.

''Proposed mentor: Pierre''

== VLC Skins2 interface update ==
'''Project Description''':
The VLC Skins2 interface was not updated for the latest interface and core changes for the media player and playlist engine yet.

We are currently reworking the interface, but we need help. Fixing the Winamp skins compatibilities would be nice.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

* wayland integration
* video integration rework (like Qt interface)
* medialibrary integration

'''Requirements''':
This project requires '''Qt/C++''' knowledge, and qml would be a nice plus.

''Proposed mentor: Pierre''

== VLC macOS interface redesign ==
'''Project Description''':
The VLC interface is quite outdated on macOS and we are currently in the process of re-writing it to give it a modern feel, but also to integrate recent additions to libvlc regarding playback control and library management.

This project for the summer is to rework heavily this interface to make it beautiful and useful again.

'''Duration''': 350h or 175h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

There is a full design already done and tested.

The major hurdle is to actually implement it the way we want it to be. The iOS/tvOS interface is simpler, more user friendly, and has a better "media center" feel into it, which influenced what we want to achieve on the Mac.
Note that the objective is to use AppKit. UIKit will not be part of this project.

Iterating from the current UI and closely collaborating with the team currently working on it is a requirement.

'''Requirements''':
This project requires '''Obj-C''' knowledge, a thorough understanding of OOP and proven previous Mac development experience. You cannot use swift for this project.

''Proposed mentor: David Fuhrmann, Felix Paul Kühne''

== VLC watchOS port ==
'''Project Description''':
VLCKit recently added support for playback of audio files on watchOS with support for http streams coming in a future update. The idea is to create a new, standalone app for watchOS that can play local files on device with a good way to synchronize those either from a computer or the app on the companion iPhone. The UI development needs to be done in SwiftUI following the restrictions of the platform.

'''Duration''': 350h

''Proposed mentor: Diogo Simao Marques, Felix Paul Kühne''

== Add back netsync module ==

'''Project Description''':

* Expose some vlc_clock APIs to be used by "control" module
* Plug the vlc_clock API inside the new module

'''Requirements''':
Very good C knowledge

''Proposed mentor: Thomas Guillem''

== VLC iOS UI update ==
'''Project Description''':
We're currently in the process of rewriting and updating the entire UI for VLC iOS

There is a lot of components that need refactoring and need to get an updated UI.

The Android port of VLC has done most of that and was successful. We need the same level of features.

'''Duration''': 350h or 175h

'''Tasks to do''':

* Get an overview of the current App and components that need an update
* Refactor and give the appropriate components a new look
* See what is missing compared to the Android version
* Code it :

'''Requirements''':
This project requires '''Obj-C''' and '''Swift''' knowledge and ideally knowledge of writing tests for iOS but this can be learned.

''Proposed mentor: Felix Paul Kühne, Diogo Simao Marques ''

== Android Medialibrary cache management ==

'''Description:'''
for upcoming features, the Android port (first and then all the ports) will need a medialibrary caching mechanism. https://code.videolan.org/videolan/medialibrary/-/issues/293

Using the new libvlc HTTP client, the medialibrary should be able to download a media, save its download state in the DB and expose all the needed APIs to the ports.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Tasks to do:'''
- Write the full API
- Download/delete local files
- Persist the state in the DB
- Send the download events
Requirements: This projects requires C++ and SQL knownledge. Java/JNI knowledge can help to (but can be learned)

Proposed mentor: Alaric Senat, Nicolas Pomepuy

== Qt integration tests ==
'''Project Description''':
In order to improve the robustness of our application, we would like to develop integration tests for the Qt interfac.e The goal being to ensure that new features and refactors won't break other parts of the UI.

'''Duration''': 350h or 175h

'''Scope of the Tasks to do''':

* study existing solutions used in other open-source projects (https://invent.kde.org/sdk/selenium-webdriver-at-spi)
* adapt test framework to our environment
* write sample test cases
* study CI integration feasibility (Linux and/or Windows tests)

'''Requirements''':
This project requires Qt/C++ and some scripting language (pyhton?) knowledge, Qml would be a nice plus.

''Proposed mentor: Pierre''

== Update the Lua integration ==

'''Project description''':
The current extension implementation in Lua needs more love to make them first class citizen (they are currently loaded by GUI instead of the core).

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Tasks to do''':
* update libvlccore to load Lua extensions instead of the GUI
* work on a better descriptive abstraction for lua stream parsers extensions which needs to extract data from the webpage. (currently done by manual read())
* more testing infrastructure for the scripts

'''Requirements''':
* Lua and C knowledge, c++ is a plus

'''Proposed mentor''': Alexandre Janniaux

== Port the remote access webserver to VLC Desktop ==

'''Description''':
To remotely access and control a VLC instance, a webserver has been developped for VLC Android. The goal is to port it to VLC desktop.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Tasks to do''':
* Extract the web client code from the VLC for Android reprository to a dedicated one
* Write the server part in VLC desktop using lua scripts
* Adapt the client to be compatible with the new VLC desktop web server

'''Proposed mentor''': Nicolas

== demux Rust bindings and AVI module for VLC ==

VLC has already its first Rust (logger) module: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/commit/e8e46b0d915d153a58d002c9d6f19a7dbdfeeca9

There was a proposal to add several Rust bindings and example: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/merge_requests/2738

Tasks
* Adapt demux API Rust bindings to upstream VLC
* Add a new AVI demux module to test the new bindings (Using the nom crate: https://crates.io/crates/nom/)

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Requirements''': Good C knowledge and very good Rust knowledge

'''Proposed mentors''': Thomas Guillem and Alexandre Janniaux

== integrate checkasm tooling and improve existing asm coverage ==

'''Description''':
VLC has some amount of existing assembly (yadif, video chroma) but we lack test coverage for it and also could use more for newer architectures

'''Tasks to do''':
* Integrate checkasm for validation (against a C baseline) and benchmarking (similarly to what's done in dav1d)
* Convert the existing assembly to use it
* Add new optimizations for things like audio/video format conversions, filters and also for newer arch's (riscv etc.)

'''Duration''': 175h or 350h

'''Proposed mentors''': Marvin Scholz, Nathan Egge, Tristan Matthews

== Vulkan video filters: tonemapping and subtitles ==

'''Description''':

VLC has a work-in-progress Vulkan video output (branch), but it is missing features that already exist in the OpenGL output. This project focuses on integrating libplacebo tonemapping and implementing subtitle rendering through the Vulkan pipeline.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Tasks to do''':
* libplacebo tonemapping: use the libplacebo API to generate Vulkan shaders for HDR tonemapping, and integrate them into VLC's Vulkan rendering pipeline;
* subtitles handling: implement a Vulkan subtitle renderer (texture upload, blending, render pass integration), based on the existing OpenGL implementation.

Requirements:
This project requires good C knowledge, good Vulkan knowledge, and familiarity with graphics pipelines. OpenGL experience is a plus for reading the reference implementation.

'''Proposed mentors''': Thomas Guillem

== Vulkan video filters: deinterlace, adjust and others ==

'''Description''':
Continuing the work on VLC's Vulkan video output (branch), this project ports the remaining video filters from the OpenGL output to Vulkan. This includes the deinterlace filter and adjust-style filters (brightness, contrast, saturation, etc.).

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Tasks to do''':
* deinterlace filter: port the existing deinterlace filter to Vulkan, using Vulkan compute or fragment shaders for multi-field temporal processing;
* adjust and other video filters: port adjust (brightness, contrast, saturation, gamma) and other video filters to Vulkan shaders;
* all existing OpenGL video filters should be ported.

Requirements:
This project requires good C knowledge, good Vulkan and OpenGL knowledge, and experience writing GPU shaders (GLSL/SPIR-V).

'''Proposed mentors''': Thomas Guillem

== Lua Declarative UI Framework for Extensions ==

'''Project Description''':

The current dialog API available to Lua extensions is limited to a small set of
widgets (labels, buttons, text inputs, checkboxes, dropdowns, lists) placed on a
fixed grid, making it difficult to build rich extension interfaces.

We want to
replace this with a modern declarative UI model inspired by SwiftUI and Jetpack
Compose, where the extension describes its interface as a function of state and
the framework handles rendering and updates.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

The project involves designing a new vlc.ui Lua module where extensions
declare their interface using nested widget constructor calls that return a
description table rather than imperatively creating widgets one by one. A
reactive state primitive (vlc.ui.state()) should use Lua metatables to track
writes and mark the UI as dirty for re-rendering.

On the C side, a bridge in modules/lua/libs/ui.c will walk the Lua widget
tree, diff it against the previous tree, and emit create/update/remove
operations toward a platform renderer. The initial renderer target is the Qt/QML
interface, mapping abstract widgets (column, row, text, button, text_field,
toggle, slider, dropdown, list, image, progress) to their QML equivalents. The
framework should support layout containers with spacing, alignment and flexible
sizing, a small set of semantic styles (title, body, caption, primary,
destructive) rather than raw values, and efficient list rendering with a row
template function.

The old vlc.dialog API must remain functional for backward compatibility.
Porting one or two existing extensions to the new API will serve as validation.

'''Requirements''':

This project requires strong '''C''' knowledge for the bridge and tree diffing
logic, familiarity with '''Lua''' and its C API for the module implementation,
and some experience

with '''Qt/QML''' for the renderer side. Understanding of reactive UI paradigms
(SwiftUI, Compose, React) is strongly recommended.

''Proposed mentor: 'Alexandre Janniaux (espresso)'

== Lua API HTTP bindings ==
'''Project Description''':
To make interacting with REST APIs in Lua easier and support other HTTP verbs than just GET, we need bindings
from the VLC HTTP library to our Lua script API.

This projects goal is to add a simple Lua API to do HTTP GET, POST and HEAD requests and possibly some more abstract
service API, depending on project duration.

'''Duration''': 350h or 175h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

VLC already has a mostly complete HTTP API that is able to do HTTP(s) requests and handle the reply. The main task for this GSoC will involve around how to expose this very low level API in a ergonomic and easy to use fashion as Lua APIs for our Lua scripts to use. Abstract around the session handling and cookie handling and provide ways to properly construct a HTTP request from Lua, with custom HTTP headers, if desired, and a way to fetch the reply status, headers, and read the body content.

Some minor changes to the VLC HTTP library might be necessary in some cases.

'''Requirements''':
This project requires strong '''C''' and '''Lua''' API knowledge, a thorough understanding of how Lua bindings and the HTTP protocol works.

''Proposed mentor: Marvin Scholz, Alexandre Janniaux''

== Lua Script Test Harness ==

'''Project Description''':

VLC and the community ship Lua scripts (playlist parsers, service discovery,
extensions, art fetchers) but has no way to test them outside of a running VLC
instance. When a website changes its markup, the corresponding playlist parser
breaks silently and the problem is only discovered through user bug reports.

We want a lightweight test harness that can load and exercise VLC Lua scripts
against fixture data without requiring a VLC build at all.

'''Duration''': 175h or 350h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

The core idea is to build a standalone binary that embeds a Lua interpreter,
registers the same `vlc.*` module tables that VLC exposes to scripts, but backs
them with mock implementations instead of real VLC core calls.

A recording mode where a patched VLC session captures real HTTP responses as
fixture files would make it easy to turn bug reports into reproductible
regression tests for lua writers.

The deliverable is a test runner that can be use to start the different scripts,
like: vlc-lua-mock --mode=playlist --input http://playlist.url/foo.m3u8 playlist.lua
and support extensions, and provide a "mock" framework to lua to be able to run
unittests as well.

'''Requirements''': This project requires C or Rust knowledge for refactoring,
compiling and linking against VLC's Lua binding sources and writing mock
backends, and some '''Lua''' knowledge for the test framework, fixture engine,
and writing the actual tests.

Familiarity with test frameworks and test methodology is a plus.

''Proposed mentor: 'Alexandre Janniaux (espresso)'

== Use vcpkg contribs ==
'''Project Description''':
VLC depends on 130 contrib packages that are external libraries used by VLC and its modules.
A lot of these packages are also available in package systems like vcpkg. This could be an alternative way
to build VLC by using common packages. This would allow more native builds of VLC, especially on Windows
(ie without relying on a POSIX shell).

The meson build system is capable of using vcpkg packages although it's not the default mode of vcpkg.

This projects goal is to add support for as many packages as possible in the vcpkg system to match the existing contribs.

'''Duration''': 350h or 175h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

The main task will be to add package dependencies in vcpkg for all the platforms we support and then adapting the patches found in contribs
to the same packages found in vcpkg. This should be usable from our meson build system.

'''Requirements''':
This project requires knownledge of '''meson''', '''make''' and '''CMake''' and package dependencies.

== dav1d statistics extractions ==

The [https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d dav1d] AV1 decoder is a new high performance AV1 decoder by
VideoLAN.

Current open source tools for AV1 analysis use instrumentation in the reference decoder [https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom libaom] to extract decode-time metadata for display and reporting, but support for sophisticated analysis is lacking.

To speed development of AV1 tools like the rav1e, it would be helpful to add similar decoder metadata extraction APIs to the dav1d decoder so that rapid testing of encoder algorithms is easier. This includes the ability to quickly produce statistics, visualizations and other
reporting that can be used for tuning encoder parameters or guiding development. Advanced ideas include adding similar encoder metadata API to rav1e that add encode-time visualizations.

'''Requirements''': This project requires '''C''' knowledge.

'''Duration''': 175h

= Ideas for libplacebo =

== Direct3D 11 backend ==

'''Project Description:'''

libplacebo uses a GPU abstraction with a number of backends. The goal would be
to add a new backend based on Direct3D 11, since Vulkan and OpenGL support on
Windows are often of limited quality, especially for older hardware.

Lots of example code for how this implementation would look can be found [https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/video/out/d3d11/ra_d3d11.c as part of the mpv project ].

Large parts can be copy/pasted and adapted to the libplacebo API.

# Add a new `pl_gpu` backend based on Direct3D 11
# Integration into the build system, test framework and CI infrastructure

'''Requirements:'''

* Knowledge of '''C''' as well as, ideally, graphics API fundamentals. (But the latter can be learned as part of the project)
* Ability to develop and test on Windows

'''Duration''': 175h

== Dolby Vision Profile 5 (IPT-PQ) ==

'''Project Description:'''

Dolby IPT-PQ is a HDR color space similar to ITU-R ICtCp, but with proprietary
Dolby modifications (reshaping algorithm). Your goal is to implement this
reshaper in the form of a GLSL shader, using knowledge from known Dolby
patents and dumped headers.

'''Tasks to do:'''

# Figure out, and (if necessary) reverse engineer the stream format for the Dolby reshaping algorithm described in several of their patents.
# Implement this algorithm in GLSL
# Integration into libplacebo (optional)
# Test against reference implementations of Dolby Vision profile 5

'''Requirements:'''

* Knowledge of '''GLSL''' and '''C'''. Knowledge of colorspaces in general is an obvious plus, but the theory here is not important - only the implementation.
* (Possibly) Ability to reverse engineer any still-unknown or differing-from-patents parts of the stream headers.

Knowledge of libplacebo internals is not required, since the skeleton code for
this already exists - what's missing is the reshaping algorithm.

'''Duration''': 350h

== GPU motion interpolation (mvtools) ==

'''Project Description'''

Your goal is to develop GPU shaders for motion-adaptive frame interpolation in the style of [mvtools](https://github.com/dubhater/vapoursynth-mvtools).

This is an open-ended project. If not completed, any progress towards this goal is good enough.

'''Sub-goals:'''
# Recreate the motion vector search algorithms from MAnalyze
# Implement the pixel masking and pixel flow algorithms from MFlowFps

These can be tackled and complete out-of-order.

'''Requirements:'''
* Good knowledge of both C and GLSL, especially compute shaders and other GPGPU techniques. (CUDA or OpenCL skills also transfer, though the shader will have to be GLSL)
* Ideally, general knowledge of video processing techniques (e.g. motion vector search) - at least enough to be able to understand what mvtools code is doing.

This page gives the current list of ideas for VideoLAN project, for the [https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com Google Summer Of Code 2026] program.

The list is long, but it is not exhaustive, and not limitative. Feel free to apply with '''your own idea!''', we love original ideas and value them.

== Introduction & Information ==
[[File:Asterix VLC.svg|frameless|right]]

This page covers the [[VideoLAN]] program as a mentoring organization for [http://code.google.com/soc/ Google Summer of Code], in order to improve [[VLC]], [[VLMC]] and [https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d dav1d] (or the [[libVLC]] engine), but also the VideoLAN infrastructure and some other related projects.

We have projects in '''C''', '''C++''', '''Rust''', '''ASM''', '''JS''', '''Wasm''', '''Go''', '''Obj-C''', '''GPU Shaders''', '''C#''', '''Java/Kotlin''' and '''Swift'''.

=== Summer of Code ===

Google Summer of Code is a way for anyone to work on open source projects and become top developers, while being paid by Google.

[[VideoLAN]] was a ''Google Summer of Code'' mentoring organization in [[SoC 2007|2007]], [[SoC 2008|2008]], [[SoC 2009|2009]], [[SoC 2010|2010]], [[SoC 2011|2011]], [[SoC 2013|2013]], [[SoC 2016|2016]], [[SoC_2017|2017]], [[SoC_2018|2018]], [[SoC_2019|2019]], [[SoC_2020|2020]], [[SoC_2021|2021]], [[SoC_2022|2022]], [[SoC_2023|2023]], [[SoC_2024|2024]] and [[SoC_2025|2025]].

This page lists some ideas for Summer of Code projects on '''dav1d''', '''dav2d''', '''libVLC''' and {{VLC}}, but also on ''VLC infrastructure'' projects.<br>
We accept ideas also on other multimedia projects related to {{VLC}}.

=== VLC & libVLC ===

{{VLC}} is a cross-platform multimedia player, encoder and streamer application. It is one of the most successful open-source projects worldwide.

{{VLC}} is downloaded at an approximate monthly rate of 25 millions from the main website and that's not including third-party distributions (Linux)!

You can find more information on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLC_media_player VLC on Wikipedia] or on this [[Main Page|wiki]].

The engine of VLC is '''libVLC''', and is used by '''VLMC''' and mobile versions of VLC.

=== dav1d / dav2d ===

'''dav1d''' is the reference AV1 decoder that is shipped inside VLC, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Windows and macOS/iOS.

'''dav2d''' is the reference AV2 decoder that is all new.

Those are very low-level codec, mostly written in C and assembly.

=== Summer of Code rules ===

If selected and developed, SoC projects for dav1d and VLC will be included in later releases.

All projects are covered by the GPL (v2+) or LGPL (v2.1+) licenses depending on the module. Projects on dav1d and dav2d are BSD licensed.

The VideoLAN [[CoC|Code of Conducts]] applies to all Summer projects.

== How to Start ==
=== Find an idea ===
First, you need to find an idea.

This current page gives you a list of ideas. Those ideas are '''NOT exhaustive''': you can bring your own idea! Some of the best ideas we've ever had were '''custom''' ideas!

The duration of the projects is indicative, and can be adapted, if needed.

'''TALK''' to the team to get more ideas.

=== Submit your idea ===
You need to submit your idea on the ''Google Summer of Code'' platform.

You should do so, very quickly, even before having finished compilation and the next steps, so that we can give you early feedback.

=== Compile VLC or libVLC ===
This may sound trivial, but it's harder than many expect. You must compile the project you want to work on.

See https://wiki.videolan.org/Category:Building/ for more informations.

You should come on [[IRC]] to get help to compile.

=== Provide a small patch ===
To demonstrate your skills, share a small patch with us. This will let you become familiar with [[Git]], in case you don't know it already and our process on [https://code.videolan.org our gitlab].

=== Let's get in touch ===

If you have a doubt, are not sure about anything or want clarification, please get in touch with us.

We have 3 major communication channels:
* Our [https://mailman.videolan.org/mailman/listinfo mailing-lists] to discuss patches and further development related topics;
* Furthermore, we have our [http://forum.videolan.org web forums] for VLC-related end-user support - a VLMC section will be created once the product is published.
* Finally, there is our IRC channel ''#videolan'' (for libVLC) and ''#vlmc'' on the ''libera'' network. It's open to any kind of discussion. Usage issues, questions how to compile VLC/VLMC, getting to know the fellow developers, etc.

Port any audio filter from MPlayer

''Proposed mentor: unidan ''

== VLC Qt interface redesign ==
'''Project Description''':
The VLC interface is quite outdated on Linux and Windows. It has a lot of features, but some are not properly exposed.

We are currently reworking the interface, but we need help.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

Use the new designs shared on the mailing list, and help developping part of those, using '''Qml'''.

This new interface is simpler, more user friendly, and has a better "media center" feel into it.

It requires integration with the media library and with the current interface.

Qml is the technology needed to improve the current UI.

'''Requirements''':
This project requires '''Qt/C++''' knowledge, and qml would be a nice plus.

''Proposed mentor: Pierre''

== VLC Skins2 interface update ==
'''Project Description''':
The VLC Skins2 interface was not updated for the latest interface and core changes for the media player and playlist engine yet.

We are currently reworking the interface, but we need help. Fixing the Winamp skins compatibilities would be nice.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

* wayland integration
* video integration rework (like Qt interface)
* medialibrary integration

'''Requirements''':
This project requires '''Qt/C++''' knowledge, and qml would be a nice plus.

''Proposed mentor: Pierre''

== VLC macOS interface redesign ==
'''Project Description''':
The VLC interface is quite outdated on macOS and we are currently in the process of re-writing it to give it a modern feel, but also to integrate recent additions to libvlc regarding playback control and library management.

This project for the summer is to rework heavily this interface to make it beautiful and useful again.

'''Duration''': 350h or 175h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

There is a full design already done and tested.

The major hurdle is to actually implement it the way we want it to be. The iOS/tvOS interface is simpler, more user friendly, and has a better "media center" feel into it, which influenced what we want to achieve on the Mac.
Note that the objective is to use AppKit. UIKit will not be part of this project.

Iterating from the current UI and closely collaborating with the team currently working on it is a requirement.

'''Requirements''':
This project requires '''Obj-C''' knowledge, a thorough understanding of OOP and proven previous Mac development experience. You cannot use swift for this project.

''Proposed mentor: David Fuhrmann, Felix Paul Kühne''

== VLC watchOS port ==
'''Project Description''':
VLCKit recently added support for playback of audio files on watchOS with support for http streams coming in a future update. The idea is to create a new, standalone app for watchOS that can play local files on device with a good way to synchronize those either from a computer or the app on the companion iPhone. The UI development needs to be done in SwiftUI following the restrictions of the platform.

'''Duration''': 350h

''Proposed mentor: Diogo Simao Marques, Felix Paul Kühne''

Very good C knowledge

''Proposed mentor: Thomas Guillem''

== VLC iOS UI update ==
'''Project Description''':
We're currently in the process of rewriting and updating the entire UI for VLC iOS

There is a lot of components that need refactoring and need to get an updated UI.

The Android port of VLC has done most of that and was successful. We need the same level of features.

'''Duration''': 350h or 175h

'''Tasks to do''':

* Get an overview of the current App and components that need an update
* Refactor and give the appropriate components a new look
* See what is missing compared to the Android version
* Code it :

'''Requirements''':
This project requires '''Obj-C''' and '''Swift''' knowledge and ideally knowledge of writing tests for iOS but this can be learned.

''Proposed mentor: Felix Paul Kühne, Diogo Simao Marques ''

== Android Medialibrary cache management ==

'''Description:'''
for upcoming features, the Android port (first and then all the ports) will need a medialibrary caching mechanism. https://code.videolan.org/videolan/medialibrary/-/issues/293

Using the new libvlc HTTP client, the medialibrary should be able to download a media, save its download state in the DB and expose all the needed APIs to the ports.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Tasks to do:'''
- Write the full API
- Download/delete local files
- Persist the state in the DB
- Send the download events
Requirements: This projects requires C++ and SQL knownledge. Java/JNI knowledge can help to (but can be learned)

Proposed mentor: Alaric Senat, Nicolas Pomepuy

== Qt integration tests ==
'''Project Description''':
In order to improve the robustness of our application, we would like to develop integration tests for the Qt interfac.e The goal being to ensure that new features and refactors won't break other parts of the UI.

'''Duration''': 350h or 175h

'''Scope of the Tasks to do''':

* study existing solutions used in other open-source projects (https://invent.kde.org/sdk/selenium-webdriver-at-spi)
* adapt test framework to our environment
* write sample test cases
* study CI integration feasibility (Linux and/or Windows tests)

'''Requirements''':
This project requires Qt/C++ and some scripting language (pyhton?) knowledge, Qml would be a nice plus.

''Proposed mentor: Pierre''

== Update the Lua integration ==

'''Project description''':
The current extension implementation in Lua needs more love to make them first class citizen (they are currently loaded by GUI instead of the core).

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Tasks to do''':
* update libvlccore to load Lua extensions instead of the GUI
* work on a better descriptive abstraction for lua stream parsers extensions which needs to extract data from the webpage. (currently done by manual read())
* more testing infrastructure for the scripts

'''Requirements''':
* Lua and C knowledge, c++ is a plus

'''Proposed mentor''': Alexandre Janniaux

== Port the remote access webserver to VLC Desktop ==

'''Description''':
To remotely access and control a VLC instance, a webserver has been developped for VLC Android. The goal is to port it to VLC desktop.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Tasks to do''':
* Extract the web client code from the VLC for Android reprository to a dedicated one
* Write the server part in VLC desktop using lua scripts
* Adapt the client to be compatible with the new VLC desktop web server

'''Proposed mentor''': Nicolas

== demux Rust bindings and AVI module for VLC ==

VLC has already its first Rust (logger) module: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/commit/e8e46b0d915d153a58d002c9d6f19a7dbdfeeca9

There was a proposal to add several Rust bindings and example: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/merge_requests/2738

Tasks
* Adapt demux API Rust bindings to upstream VLC
* Add a new AVI demux module to test the new bindings (Using the nom crate: https://crates.io/crates/nom/)

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Requirements''': Good C knowledge and very good Rust knowledge

'''Proposed mentors''': Thomas Guillem and Alexandre Janniaux

== integrate checkasm tooling and improve existing asm coverage ==

'''Description''':
VLC has some amount of existing assembly (yadif, video chroma) but we lack test coverage for it and also could use more for newer architectures

'''Tasks to do''':
* Integrate checkasm for validation (against a C baseline) and benchmarking (similarly to what's done in dav1d)
* Convert the existing assembly to use it
* Add new optimizations for things like audio/video format conversions, filters and also for newer arch's (riscv etc.)

'''Duration''': 175h or 350h

'''Proposed mentors''': Marvin Scholz, Nathan Egge, Tristan Matthews

== Vulkan video filters: tonemapping and subtitles ==

'''Description''':

VLC has a work-in-progress Vulkan video output (branch), but it is missing features that already exist in the OpenGL output. This project focuses on integrating libplacebo tonemapping and implementing subtitle rendering through the Vulkan pipeline.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Tasks to do''':
* libplacebo tonemapping: use the libplacebo API to generate Vulkan shaders for HDR tonemapping, and integrate them into VLC's Vulkan rendering pipeline;
* subtitles handling: implement a Vulkan subtitle renderer (texture upload, blending, render pass integration), based on the existing OpenGL implementation.

Requirements:
This project requires good C knowledge, good Vulkan knowledge, and familiarity with graphics pipelines. OpenGL experience is a plus for reading the reference implementation.

'''Proposed mentors''': Thomas Guillem

== Vulkan video filters: deinterlace, adjust and others ==

'''Description''':
Continuing the work on VLC's Vulkan video output (branch), this project ports the remaining video filters from the OpenGL output to Vulkan. This includes the deinterlace filter and adjust-style filters (brightness, contrast, saturation, etc.).

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Tasks to do''':
* deinterlace filter: port the existing deinterlace filter to Vulkan, using Vulkan compute or fragment shaders for multi-field temporal processing;
* adjust and other video filters: port adjust (brightness, contrast, saturation, gamma) and other video filters to Vulkan shaders;
* all existing OpenGL video filters should be ported.

Requirements:
This project requires good C knowledge, good Vulkan and OpenGL knowledge, and experience writing GPU shaders (GLSL/SPIR-V).

'''Proposed mentors''': Thomas Guillem

== Lua Declarative UI Framework for Extensions ==

'''Project Description''':

The current dialog API available to Lua extensions is limited to a small set of
widgets (labels, buttons, text inputs, checkboxes, dropdowns, lists) placed on a
fixed grid, making it difficult to build rich extension interfaces.

We want to
replace this with a modern declarative UI model inspired by SwiftUI and Jetpack
Compose, where the extension describes its interface as a function of state and
the framework handles rendering and updates.

'''Duration''': 350h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

The project involves designing a new vlc.ui Lua module where extensions
declare their interface using nested widget constructor calls that return a
description table rather than imperatively creating widgets one by one. A
reactive state primitive (vlc.ui.state()) should use Lua metatables to track
writes and mark the UI as dirty for re-rendering.

On the C side, a bridge in modules/lua/libs/ui.c will walk the Lua widget
tree, diff it against the previous tree, and emit create/update/remove
operations toward a platform renderer. The initial renderer target is the Qt/QML
interface, mapping abstract widgets (column, row, text, button, text_field,
toggle, slider, dropdown, list, image, progress) to their QML equivalents. The
framework should support layout containers with spacing, alignment and flexible
sizing, a small set of semantic styles (title, body, caption, primary,
destructive) rather than raw values, and efficient list rendering with a row
template function.

The old vlc.dialog API must remain functional for backward compatibility.
Porting one or two existing extensions to the new API will serve as validation.

'''Requirements''':

This project requires strong '''C''' knowledge for the bridge and tree diffing
logic, familiarity with '''Lua''' and its C API for the module implementation,
and some experience

with '''Qt/QML''' for the renderer side. Understanding of reactive UI paradigms
(SwiftUI, Compose, React) is strongly recommended.

''Proposed mentor: 'Alexandre Janniaux (espresso)'

== Lua API HTTP bindings ==
'''Project Description''':
To make interacting with REST APIs in Lua easier and support other HTTP verbs than just GET, we need bindings
from the VLC HTTP library to our Lua script API.

This projects goal is to add a simple Lua API to do HTTP GET, POST and HEAD requests and possibly some more abstract
service API, depending on project duration.

'''Duration''': 350h or 175h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

VLC already has a mostly complete HTTP API that is able to do HTTP(s) requests and handle the reply. The main task for this GSoC will involve around how to expose this very low level API in a ergonomic and easy to use fashion as Lua APIs for our Lua scripts to use. Abstract around the session handling and cookie handling and provide ways to properly construct a HTTP request from Lua, with custom HTTP headers, if desired, and a way to fetch the reply status, headers, and read the body content.

Some minor changes to the VLC HTTP library might be necessary in some cases.

'''Requirements''':
This project requires strong '''C''' and '''Lua''' API knowledge, a thorough understanding of how Lua bindings and the HTTP protocol works.

''Proposed mentor: Marvin Scholz, Alexandre Janniaux''

== Lua Script Test Harness ==

'''Project Description''':

VLC and the community ship Lua scripts (playlist parsers, service discovery,
extensions, art fetchers) but has no way to test them outside of a running VLC
instance. When a website changes its markup, the corresponding playlist parser
breaks silently and the problem is only discovered through user bug reports.

We want a lightweight test harness that can load and exercise VLC Lua scripts
against fixture data without requiring a VLC build at all.

'''Duration''': 175h or 350h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

The core idea is to build a standalone binary that embeds a Lua interpreter,
registers the same `vlc.*` module tables that VLC exposes to scripts, but backs
them with mock implementations instead of real VLC core calls.

A recording mode where a patched VLC session captures real HTTP responses as
fixture files would make it easy to turn bug reports into reproductible
regression tests for lua writers.

The deliverable is a test runner that can be use to start the different scripts,
like: vlc-lua-mock --mode=playlist --input http://playlist.url/foo.m3u8 playlist.lua
and support extensions, and provide a "mock" framework to lua to be able to run
unittests as well.

'''Requirements''': This project requires C or Rust knowledge for refactoring,
compiling and linking against VLC's Lua binding sources and writing mock
backends, and some '''Lua''' knowledge for the test framework, fixture engine,
and writing the actual tests.

Familiarity with test frameworks and test methodology is a plus.

''Proposed mentor: 'Alexandre Janniaux (espresso)'

== Use vcpkg contribs ==
'''Project Description''':
VLC depends on 130 contrib packages that are external libraries used by VLC and its modules.
A lot of these packages are also available in package systems like vcpkg. This could be an alternative way
to build VLC by using common packages. This would allow more native builds of VLC, especially on Windows
(ie without relying on a POSIX shell).

The meson build system is capable of using vcpkg packages although it's not the default mode of vcpkg.

This projects goal is to add support for as many packages as possible in the vcpkg system to match the existing contribs.

'''Duration''': 350h or 175h

'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

The main task will be to add package dependencies in vcpkg for all the platforms we support and then adapting the patches found in contribs
to the same packages found in vcpkg. This should be usable from our meson build system.

'''Requirements''':
This project requires knownledge of '''meson''', '''make''' and '''CMake''' and package dependencies.

== dav1d statistics extractions ==

The [https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d dav1d] AV1 decoder is a new high performance AV1 decoder by
VideoLAN.

Current open source tools for AV1 analysis use instrumentation in the reference decoder [https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom libaom] to extract decode-time metadata for display and reporting, but support for sophisticated analysis is lacking.

To speed development of AV1 tools like the rav1e, it would be helpful to add similar decoder metadata extraction APIs to the dav1d decoder so that rapid testing of encoder algorithms is easier. This includes the ability to quickly produce statistics, visualizations and other
reporting that can be used for tuning encoder parameters or guiding development. Advanced ideas include adding similar encoder metadata API to rav1e that add encode-time visualizations.

'''Requirements''': This project requires '''C''' knowledge.

'''Duration''': 175h

= Ideas for libplacebo =

== Direct3D 11 backend ==

'''Project Description:'''

libplacebo uses a GPU abstraction with a number of backends. The goal would be
to add a new backend based on Direct3D 11, since Vulkan and OpenGL support on
Windows are often of limited quality, especially for older hardware.

Lots of example code for how this implementation would look can be found [https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/video/out/d3d11/ra_d3d11.c as part of the mpv project ].

Large parts can be copy/pasted and adapted to the libplacebo API.

'''Tasks to do:'''

# Add a new `pl_gpu` backend based on Direct3D 11
# Integration into the build system, test framework and CI infrastructure

'''Requirements:'''

* Knowledge of '''C''' as well as, ideally, graphics API fundamentals. (But the latter can be learned as part of the project)
* Ability to develop and test on Windows

'''Duration''': 175h

== Dolby Vision Profile 5 (IPT-PQ) ==

'''Project Description:'''

Dolby IPT-PQ is a HDR color space similar to ITU-R ICtCp, but with proprietary
Dolby modifications (reshaping algorithm). Your goal is to implement this
reshaper in the form of a GLSL shader, using knowledge from known Dolby
patents and dumped headers.

'''Tasks to do:'''

# Figure out, and (if necessary) reverse engineer the stream format for the Dolby reshaping algorithm described in several of their patents.
# Implement this algorithm in GLSL
# Integration into libplacebo (optional)
# Test against reference implementations of Dolby Vision profile 5

'''Requirements:'''

* Knowledge of '''GLSL''' and '''C'''. Knowledge of colorspaces in general is an obvious plus, but the theory here is not important - only the implementation.
* (Possibly) Ability to reverse engineer any still-unknown or differing-from-patents parts of the stream headers.

Knowledge of libplacebo internals is not required, since the skeleton code for
this already exists - what's missing is the reshaping algorithm.

'''Duration''': 350h

== GPU motion interpolation (mvtools) ==

'''Project Description'''

Your goal is to develop GPU shaders for motion-adaptive frame interpolation in the style of [mvtools](https://github.com/dubhater/vapoursynth-mvtools).

This is an open-ended project. If not completed, any progress towards this goal is good enough.

'''Sub-goals:'''
# Recreate the motion vector search algorithms from MAnalyze
# Implement the pixel masking and pixel flow algorithms from MFlowFps

These can be tackled and complete out-of-order.

'''Requirements:'''
* Good knowledge of both C and GLSL, especially compute shaders and other GPGPU techniques. (CUDA or OpenCL skills also transfer, though the shader will have to be GLSL)
* Ideally, general knowledge of video processing techniques (e.g. motion vector search) - at least enough to be able to understand what mvtools code is doing.

'''Duration''': 350h

It is a '''physical''' card though, so you can not easily buy it online, instead it is
probably easiest to buy it at Wrights Of Howth at the Dublin Airport Terminal 1, or other vendors listed on the website.

== Means of payment ==

The currency used in the Republic of Ireland (that includes Dublin) is the Euro (EUR, €). Northern Ireland is using the Pound Sterling (GBP, £).

== Electricity ==

[[File:BS 1363.png|thumb|left|150px|BS 1363 (Type G) travel adapter]]

Standard Voltage is 230V at 50Hz, however the socket type is BS 1363 (Type G), so you will likely need an adaptor.

== Location / main venue ==
The meeting is happening at the [https://www.tcd.ie Trinity College Dublin].

== Accommodation / Hotel ==

If you are sponsored by the [[VideoLAN]] association, your hotel is:

[https://www.claytonhotelcardifflane.com/ Clayton Hotel Cardiff Lane]<br>
Sir John Rogerson's Quay, Dublin Docklands, Dublin, D02 YT21, Ireland

Elsewise, please make your own arrangements for accommodation.

=== Public transit ===

== Transportation ==

A convenient way to get around in Dublin by public transport is the [https://about.leapcard.ie/leap-visitor-card TFI Leap Visitor Card],
which is available for 1, 3 or 7 days validity.

It is a '''physical''' card though, so you can not easily buy it online, instead it is
probably easiest to buy it at Wrights Of Howth at the Dublin Airport Terminal 1, or other vendors listed on the website.

== Means of payment ==

The currency used in the Republic of Ireland (that includes Dublin) is the Euro (EUR, €). Northern Ireland is using the Pound Sterling (GBP, £).

== Electricity ==

[[File:BS 1363.png|thumb|left|150px|BS 1363 (Type G) travel adapter]]

Standard Voltage is 230V at 50Hz, however the socket type is BS 1363 (Type G), so you will likely need an adaptor.

== Who can come? ==

Literally every one is invited to VDD, we just need registration for legal reason ''(to enter the building)''.

This is a technical conference, focused on low-level multimedia, like codecs and their implementations like '''x264''' or '''dav1d''', frameworks like '''FFmpeg''' or '''Gstreamer''' or playback libraries like '''libVLC'''.

Things like Javascript video frameworks or ad-injection frameworks would be considered out of scope.

The price to enter is totally '''Free'''.

It is a '''physical''' card though, so you can not easily buy it online, instead it is
probably easiest to buy it at Wrights Of Howth at the Dublin Airport Terminal 1, or other vendors listed on the website.

== Means of payment ==

The currency used in the Republic of Ireland (that includes Dublin) is the Euro (EUR, €). Northern Ireland is using the Pound Sterling (GBP, £).

== Electricity ==

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d4/Uk_13a_double_socket.jpg/320px-Uk_13a_double_socket.jpg

Standard Voltage is 230V at 50Hz, however the socket type is BS 1363 (Type G), so you will likely need an adaptor.

Git

2021-06-18T20:12:59Z

EPirat: /* Basic Git usage */ Change Git repo URLs to GitLab

[https://git-scm.com/ Git] is a free and open source [[wikipedia:Revision_control|version control system]]. It is used by programmers to keep track of the different versions of the files composing a software.

== Basic Git usage ==

If you are using '''Windows''', please read the [[Git Windows]] page.

=== Getting VLC or x264 source code via Git ===

{{$}} git clone https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc.git
Voilà! The full VLC history should be on your hard disk in vlc/.

$ git clone https://code.videolan.org/videolan/x264.git
Voilà! The full x264 history should be on your hard disk in x264/.

If you want only the last 3 VLC revisions:
$ git clone https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc.git --depth 3

Clones without the full revision set (--depth) can't be used for backporting (or to make sure that you're including at least commits up to the common fork point).

You can find the stable VLC version in the 3.0.x branch, to check just that out use:

$ git clone --single-branch --branch 3.0.x https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc.git
Voilà! You got the stable branch repository.

See https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc

Or via http protocol from github (github can sometimes be a bit behind as a mirror):
https://github.com/videolan/vlc.git
See https://github.com/videolan/vlc

You can also clone using http via our repo.or.cz mirror.
$ git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/vlc.git
See http://repo.or.cz/w/vlc.git (a mirror).

==== After cloning ====

{{$}} git log
to see the full log of the trunk.
$ gitk
to see the log graphically.

You can also browse the sources on [https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc GitLab].

=== Configure your global git config ===
May need to use
{{$}} git repo-config <various options>
1.4.4.2 Requires the <kbd>repo-config</kbd> command rather than just <kbd>config</kbd>

==== Personal Information ====
Tell git your name. (use mostly by git-commit)
{{$}} git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email "me@example.com"

==== Mail Setup ====
To send patches you'll need a working git-send-email configuration.
=====Built-in SMTP support (easiest)=====
''git-send-email'' has built in support for sending e-mail through [[wikipedia:SMTP|SMTP]]. You'll need a command line similar to the following one:

git-send-email --annotate --smtp-server=smtp.example.com --smtp-server-port=587 --smtp-encryption=tls --smtp-user="yourname@example.com" <...>

=====MSMTP=====
You can use [https://marlam.de/msmtp/ msmtp] to achieve this. Install it with tls and ssl activated and place the following config file (.msmtprc) in your home directory
# msmtp configuration file

# Set default values for all following accounts.
defaults
tls on
tls_starttls on
tls_trust_file /certificates/EquifaxSecureCertificateAuthority.crt
logfile /log/.msmtp.log

# GMAIL
account gmail
host smtp.gmail.com
port 587
protocol smtp
from user.name@gmail.com
auth on
user user.name@gmail.com

# Set a default account
account default : gmail
Then configure git to use msmtp. The password will be asked for upon sending mail.
{{$}} git config --global sendemail.smtpserver /usr/local/bin/msmtp
The certificate for gmail can be found here: [https://www.geotrust.com/resources/extended-validation-ssl/certs/Equifax%20Secure%20Certificate%20Authority.crt EquifaxSecureCertificateAuthority.crt]

If you receive a '''<samp>cannot set X509 trust file</samp>''' error when using another CA certificate, make sure it is in the PEM (text format) rather than DER format (binary).

=====macOS=====

Setup info with e.g. gmail account
{{$}} git config --global sendemail.smtpserver smtp.gmail.com
$ git config --global sendemail.smtpuser your-gmail-address-here
$ git config --global sendemail.smtpencryption tls
$ git config --global sendemail.smtpserverport 587

If errors occur telling you something like perl's SMTP::SSL package is not there. Do the following
$ sudo -H cpan Net::SMTP::SSL

==== Using git with color (Tip) ====
If you want to use git with colored output use:
{{$}} git config --global color.ui true

If you are using an old git version (prior to 1.5.5) and previous command didn't work, use:
$ git config --global color.diff auto
$ git config --global color.status auto
$ git config --global color.branch auto

==== Setting up "git up" (Tip) ====
If you want to be able to just keep in sync using "git up" use:
{{$}} git config --global alias.up "pull --rebase"
And if you like your tree to be messy and don't want git to complain (like in svn) use:
$ git config --global alias.up '!sh -c "git commit -a -m "Before rebase" && git pull --rebase && git reset head^"'

==== Setting up "git wu" (Git What's Up) (Tip) ====
If you want to see what you are about to "git push":
{{$}} git config --global alias.wu "log --stat origin..@{0}"
Now use:
$ git wu
Note that this only works for the master branch.

==== Setting up "git wup" (Git What's Up - with patch) (Tip) ====
If you want to see what you are about to "git push", along with the diff:
{{$}} git config --global alias.wup "log -p origin..@{0}"
Now use:
$ git wup

=== Set up Hooks (Tip) ===
If you are using Qt-creator and want to keep your files listing in sync,
just set up a post-checkout hook accordingly.
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
#!/bin/sh
# this file as .git/hooks/post-checkout
if test -f vlc.files
then
echo "Updating Qt files list"
git ls-files > vlc.files
fi
</syntaxhighlight>

=== General GIT Workflow ===
# Make your file edits in your local repository.
# "git commit" the changes in your local repository
# "git pull --rebase" or "git up" (if you did ''git config --global alias.up "pull --rebase"'') to bring the rest of your local repository up to date
# "git log origin..master" to check what you are going to commit
# "git push" to move your changes up to the master
# "git stash" if you want to "hide" your changes. Do this if you think there may be other commits against the same things you are working on and want to refresh your local checkout (using a git pull --rebase) from the master. Use "git stash apply" to get your stash back.
# "git checkout -f master" if you think your tree is pretty hopeless, need a kill-and-fill to bring the master into your local repository.

=== List the local branch ===
You can now list your local branch by doing
{{$}} git branch
which should output
$ git branch
* master

=== List your local non committed changes ===
{{$}} git status | less

=== Commit ===
Now you can start to work on your tree. As soon as you feel you have reached a step in development where you can commit your work '''locally''', use
{{$}} git commit -a
or
$ git commit <specific files>

If you wish to give credit to someone else's work (e.g. you are applying a third party patch):
$ git commit <specific files> --author "Name Surname <user@domain.com>"

=== List your commits ===
{{$}} git log

=== Keeping your local working branch in sync ===
{{$}} git pull --rebase

To shorten up that command type
$ git config --global alias.up "pull --rebase"

Now you can just type:
$ git up

=== Use a graphical interface ===
{{$}} gitk # Tree Browser
$ qgit # Tree Browser
$ git-gui # Commit/push/... editor

== Submitting patches ==

First make sure you have '''read''' our [[Sending Patches]] page. And that you've '''read''' the [[Sending Patches#Check_List| Check List]].

If you have been developing on vlc locally and (still) don't have write access, you can submit all your commits in one shot using:
{{$}} rm -Rf patches
$ git format-patch -o patches origin
$ git send-email --to vlc-devel@videolan.org patches
If you want to create a cover letter for multiple patches use:
$ git format-patch -o patches origin -n --cover-letter
$ git send-email --annotate --cover-letter --to vlc-devel@videolan.org patches
If you have multiple patch consider using:
$ git send-email --compose --no-chain-reply-to --to vlc-devel@videolan.org patches
This will produce the patches for each local commit in the directory "patches" and send them.
Use --no-chain-reply-to make sure it doesn't reply.

For x264, do the same with x264-devel@videolan.org


Don't do:
* [PATCH 0/m]
** [PATCH 1/m]
*** [PATCH 2/m]
**** ...
But do:
* [PATCH 0/m]
** [PATCH 1/m]
** [PATCH 2/m]
** ..

== Advanced usage ==
=== Creating a secondary local branch ===
If you want to work on a specific project that could require a branch of the trunk, create a local branch of the current branch by doing:
{{$}} git branch mywork
and to actually use it do:
$ git checkout mywork
Which could be summarized by:
$ git checkout -b mywork

Then do some commit on it... And you can go back to your original master branch by doing:
$ git checkout master

=== Fetching a remote branch ===
To see the remote branch use:
{{$}} git branch -r
If the remote branch is named 0.8.6-bugfix
$ git branch 0.8.6-bugfix origin/0.8.6-bugfix
Branch 0.8.6-bugfix set up to track remote branch refs/remotes/origin/0.8.6-bugfix.
$ git branch
0.8.6-bugfix
* master
To checkout that branch use:
$ git checkout 0.8.6-bugfix
To stay up-to-date a simple
$ git pull --rebase
Should be enough.

If warnings appear that files still need updating:
$ include/libvlc_internal.h: needs update
include/mediacontrol_internal.h: needs update
include/vlc/libvlc.h: needs update
include/vlc_update.h: needs update
modules/access/mms/mms.c: needs update
...

Then do a checkout -f to revert non committed local changes
$ git checkout -f

To stay up-to-date another
$ git pull --rebase
Should give no more warnings.

To push to the remote branch, use:
$ git push origin 0.8.6-bugfix:0.8.6-bugfix

=== Creating a remote branch ===
If the new remote branch is named 0.9.0-bugfix, and is based on the local master branch.
First make sure everything go as planned with the --dry-run option:
{{$}} git push --dry-run origin master:refs/heads/0.9.0-stable
To git@git.videolan.org:vlc.git
* [new branch] master -> 0.9.0-stable

Then push it:
$ git push origin master:refs/heads/0.9.0-stable
To git@git.videolan.org:vlc.git
* [new branch] master -> 0.9.0-stable
$ git branch -r
origin/0.9.0-stable
origin/master

To checkout that branch now see ''[[#Fetching a remote branch]]''

=== Backporting commits ===
It is possible to "backport" commit between the master branch and a -bugfix branch. However since VDD'09, the bugfix branches have been split to their own git repositories. This leaves us with 2 cases.

==== Normal simple case ====

Go to your -bugfix branch:
{{$}} git checkout 1.0-bugfix

Backport the commit:
$ git cherry-pick -x -s <sha-id of commit>

If git fails to do the backport by itself, you'll be presented with the usual options in case of a failed merge or patching. Use "git status", your favorite editor or "git mergetool" to resolve the situation. Then use "git add" and "git commit -c <sha-id of backported commit>".
Then push your commit as usual.

==== Case of VLC bugfix branches ====
Due to the number of commits in vlc.git and the amount of divergence between the master and 1.0-bugfix branches, they have been separated into two different git repositories. But that doesn't block you from backporting.

Get the -bugfix git:
{{$}} git clone https://git.videolan.org/git/vlc/vlc-1.0.git vlc-bugfix
Add vlc.git as an additional remote:
$ git remote add vlc-master https://git.videolan.org/git/vlc.git
Update the information from vlc-master
$ git fetch vlc-master
Backport as normal
$ git cherry-pick -x -s <sha-id of commit>

=== Publishing your own fork ===
Go to [http://repo.or.cz/w/vlc.git http://repo.or.cz/w/vlc.git] and click [http://repo.or.cz/regproj.cgi?fork=vlc.git fork]. You will be able to publish your work there.

Please don't forget to send a mail to the ''vlc-devel'' mailing list as soon as you create your fork.

=== Revert your non-committed local changes ===
{{$}} git checkout -f

===Edit or undo not yet pushed commits ===
This will undo the last commit
{{$}} git reset HEAD^
which is the same as
$ git reset master^
(if your checked-out copy of your tree is master)
And also the same as
$ git reset a44a594 # note that there is no need to use the full sha id

If you have a stack of patch that you have not yet committed you can delete one patch from the list using git rebase --interactive
$ git rebase --interactive origin
pick eacf185 test
pick 56322eb VLMA owner is vlma prod.

# Rebase 826757e..56322eb onto 826757e
#
# Commands:
# pick = use commit
# edit = use commit, but stop for amending
# squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit

=== Diff-ing ===
* You can diff between two branches using
{{$}} git diff branch1 branch2
* You can diff between the previous 10th commit and current using
$ git diff HEAD~10 HEAD
* You can diff between the previous 10th commit and current of the branch "mywork" using
$ git diff mywork~10 mywork
* Imagine that git log is like
$ git log
commit e0394f269305edd09843257e7c1d1a66aaf48ab3

Will be equivalent to:
$ git diff ff7004b70fd239e4120deb160e2991bd5237b8df e80b339081aa6755f67c9bd8e2aacf93a9a79d95
And to:
$ git diff HEAD~4 HEAD^

* Remember that to produce a patch you should rather use git format-patch than git diff most of the time.

=== Patch-ing ===
* You can apply patches using
{{$}} git apply <patch>

=== Tracking regression ===
git has a great tool called [https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-bisect.html git-bisect] to help you to track a faulty commit. Imagine you are tracking a bug that is known to appear after 0.8.6 (assuming 0.8.6 is tagged):
{{$}} git bisect start
$ git bisect bad # tell git current version has the bug you are tracking
$ git bisect good 0.8.6 # tell git 0.8.6 didn't have the bug
And then git will checkout a certain revision, and ask you to test it. And you simply say whether this version has the bug.
If it has the bug:
$ git bisect bad
if the bug is not present:
$ git bisect good
And so on by bisection... At the end git will indicate the faulty commit. Most of the time this tool is really efficient to track regression.

If you can provide a script that test the presence of the bug
$ git bisect run <script_name>
will be able to track down the regression by itself. See [https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-bisect.html git-bisect Documentation].

== Using Git to push to VideoLAN git ==
=== Initial requirements ===
* You must have credentials to push commits into the repository. For other contributors, please read upper [[#Submitting_patches|Submitting patches to the vlc-devel or x264-devel]] paragraph.
* Make sure you've set your name and email in your commits
{{$}} git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email "me@example.com"

=== Convert your tree to use your ssh push commit access ===
{{$}} vi vlc/.git/config
And replace
https://git.videolan.org/git/vlc.git
With
git@git.videolan.org:vlc.git

=== Staying up to date ===
{{$}} git pull --rebase

If you don't want to have to type --rebase every time you pull do:
$ git config branch.master.rebase true

This one creates a merge object which is not how SVN worked, so let's use the first version...
$ git pull

=== Pushing your work ===
{{$}} git log origin..master # Check what you are going to push
$ git push

EPirat: /* 3rd party packagers and PATH */

This is an '''howto''' to compile {{VLC}} on '''macOS''' ''(also known as Mac OS X)'', focused on '''VLC 3.0''' and later.

= Pre-requisites =

=== Apple Software ===

*You need at least '''macOS 10.10'''. Any later version is strongly recommended, though.
*'''Xcode 9''' and '''Developer Tools''' from [https://developer.apple.com/xcode/ developer.apple.com/xcode]

==== Developer tools test ====

Make sure developer tools are installed by running

xcode-select --install

in the Terminal, if it pops up a window, click ''“Install”''.

==== Compiler test ====

Ensure the compiler is found correctly by running

xcrun clang

in the Terminal, if this outputs anything else than <code>clang: error: no input files</code>, see the troubleshooting part of this document.

= [[GetTheSource|Get the source code]] =

git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git

= Build VLC with a single command =

Setup a build folder:
cd vlc && mkdir build && cd build

And run the build:
../extras/package/macosx/build.sh

Wait and you have finished.

You can see more options for this build (change arch or sdk):
../extras/package/macosx/build.sh -h

In case this fails, please try the step-by-step build guide below using a
clean checkout.

= Build steps =
Now, if you prefer, you can read the following detailed information on how the build internally works:

== Additional development tools ==

You need a number of tools, notably all the autotools, to build VLC correctly.
VLC has a way to build the specific versions of these tools required from source, here is how:

cd extras/tools
./bootstrap && make
cd ../..

'''Important''': Add the extras/tools build results to your PATH, before doing anything else:
export PATH=$PWD/extras/tools/build/bin:$PATH

== Prepare [[Contrib Status|3rd party libraries]] ==

To compile VLC, you need lots of other libraries, called 3rd party. VLC has the so-called “contribs” system to help building these libraries
from source. Alternatively you can use a pre-built package of these libraries provided by VideoLAN.



First, set the correct '''SDK''' version for the 3rd party libraries, usually your current OS X Version:

export OSX_VERSION=10.11

Then, prepare the 3rd party library folder:

mkdir -p contrib/contrib-osx && cd contrib/contrib-osx
../bootstrap --build=x86_64-apple-darwin15

=== Prebuilt libraries (recommended) ===

If you want to download a prebuilt package of all the needed libraries.

make prebuilt

Now you can just skip to the [[OSXCompile#Update_PATH|Update PATH]] section.

=== Build your own libraries (not for the faint-hearted) ===
Note: In order to build the libraries you need to use an OS X SDK Version lower than 10.12, the 10.12 SDK causes problems
making it impossible to use the resulting libraries (and VLC build) on any macOS version lower than 10.12!
You can set the SDK Version (if it's installed) using <code>export OSX_VERSION=10.11</code>.

You need to install the [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/pt/java/javase/downloads/index.html Java JDK].

If you want to build contribs from source, you first need to make gettext, which is needed for some other contrib libraries to build:

make -j4 .gettext

Now you need to update your path for the gettext tools to be usable later on, see the [[#Update_PATH|Update PATH]] section above.

Then fetch contrib sources:

make fetch

and build them with:

make

If you had no errors, the 3rd party libraries (contrib) are built correctly and you can proceed to the next step.

=== Update PATH ===

First we go back to the source directory:

cd ../..

And now we still need to add the contribs to our path, so they can be found:

export PATH=$PWD/contrib/x86_64-apple-darwin15/bin:$PATH

== Bootstrap VLC ==

This will create the configure script:

./bootstrap

Check that there are no obvious errors at this stage, like missing gettext or an error at exit.

== Configure the VLC build ==

Create a build folder:

mkdir -p build && cd build

To list the different options of configure:

../extras/package/macosx/configure.sh --help

To build a binary with the previously installed x86_64-apple-darwin15 contrib:

../extras/package/macosx/configure.sh --enable-debug --host=x86_64-apple-darwin15

By default it will not use the installed SDK, like Xcode does, but use System Root. This means that if you built contribs on your own, the configure script might behave unexpectedly, for example enabling functions which are not present in a given operating system version. To work around this and build against the latest installed SDK, you can use:

--with-macosx-sdk=`xcrun --show-sdk-path`

If you want to use a different SDK, you can list all installed SDKs with <code>xcodebuild -showsdks</code> and to get the path for it, you can use the following command <code>xcodebuild -version <SDK Flag from before> Path</code>.<br />
For example: <code>xcodebuild -version -sdk macosx10.11 Path</code>

== Build VLC ==

Just do:
make -j4

and wait...

== Run VLC ==
After <code>make</code>, you can just run VLC like so:

./bin/vlc-osx-static

If you want a VLC app bundle, just do

make VLC.app

And use it like a normal .app bundle.

== Package VLC Application for Mac ==

If you want a disk-image:

make package-macosx

Note: If you want a more fancy disk image, you need the [https://bitbucket.org/al45tair/dmgbuild dmgbuild] tool, which can be installed using <code>pip install dmgbuild</code> if you have
python installed using [https://brew.sh Homebrew].

== Sign VLC Application for Mac ==

If you want to sign your application with a certificate, for example for Gatekeeper, you need to run:

extras/package/macosx/codesign.sh -i "certificate name"

= Troubleshooting =

== 3rd party packagers and PATH ==

'''Pay careful attention to remove any reference to 3rd party package managers from your environment.''' This is important to avoid conflicts between your package manager (homebrew, fink, macports...) and the contrib package manager we use to build our contrib.

It shouldn't be necessary, but it can happen.

'''git must still be accessible though!'''

unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH
unset PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
export PATH=$PWD/build/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin

== Xcode 'No developer directory' error ==
When running <code>xcrun clang</code>, if you see

Error: No developer directory...

then use xcode-select to select the developer directory within the Xcode package, to point to your xcode developer directory.

something like:

sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

To build a binary with the previously installed x86_64-apple-darwin15 contrib:

../extras/package/macosx/configure.sh --enable-debug --host=x86_64-apple-darwin15

By default it will not use the installed SDK, like Xcode does, but use System Root. This means that if you built contribs on your own, the configure script might behave unexpectedly, for example enabling functions which are not present in a given operating system version. To work around this and build against the latest installed SDK, you can use:

--with-macosx-sdk=`xcrun --show-sdk-path`

If you want to use a different SDK, you can list all installed SDKs with <code>xcodebuild -showsdks</code> and to get the path for it, you can use the following command <code>xcodebuild -version <SDK Flag from before> Path</code>.<br />
For example: <code>xcodebuild -version -sdk macosx10.11 Path</code>

== Build VLC ==

Just do:
make -j4

and wait...

== Run VLC ==
After <code>make</code>, you can just run VLC like so:

./bin/vlc-osx-static

If you want a VLC app bundle, just do

make VLC.app

And use it like a normal .app bundle.

== Package VLC Application for Mac ==

If you want a disk-image:

make package-macosx

Note: If you want a more fancy disk image, you need the [https://bitbucket.org/al45tair/dmgbuild dmgbuild] tool, which can be installed using <code>pip install dmgbuild</code> if you have
python installed using [https://brew.sh Homebrew].

== Sign VLC Application for Mac ==

If you want to sign your application with a certificate, for example for Gatekeeper, you need to run:

extras/package/macosx/codesign.sh -i "certificate name"

= Troubleshooting =

== 3rd party packagers and PATH ==

'''Pay careful attention to remove any reference to 3rd party package managersfrom your environment.''' This is important to avoid conflicts between your package manager (homebrew, fink, macports...) and the contrib package manager we use to build our contrib.

It shouldn't be necessary, but it can happen.

'''git must still be accessible though!'''

unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH
unset PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
export PATH=$PWD/build/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin

== Xcode 'No developer directory' error ==
When running <code>xcrun clang</code>, if you see

Error: No developer directory...

then use xcode-select to select the developer directory within the Xcode package, to point to your xcode developer directory.

something like:

sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

EPirat: /* Pre-requisites */

This is an '''howto''' to compile {{VLC}} on '''macOS''' ''(also known as Mac OS X)'', focused on '''VLC 3.0''' and later.

= Pre-requisites =

=== Apple Software ===

*You need at least '''macOS 10.10'''. Any later version is strongly recommended, though.
*'''Xcode 9''' and '''Developer Tools''' from [https://developer.apple.com/xcode/ developer.apple.com/xcode]

==== Developer tools test ====

Make sure developer tools are installed by running

xcode-select --install

in the Terminal, if it pops up a window, click ''“Install”''.

==== Compiler test ====

Ensure the compiler is found correctly by running

xcrun clang

in the Terminal, if this outputs anything else than <code>clang: error: no input files</code>, see the troubleshooting part of this document.

= [[GetTheSource|Get the source code]] =

git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git

= Build VLC with a single command =

Setup a build folder:
cd vlc && mkdir build && cd build

And run the build:
../extras/package/macosx/build.sh

Wait and you have finished.

You can see more options for this build (change arch or sdk):
../extras/package/macosx/build.sh -h

In case this fails, please try the step-by-step build guide below using a
clean checkout.

= Build steps =
Now, if you prefer, you can read the following detailed information on how the build internally works:

== Additional development tools ==

You need development tools, notably all the autotools, to build VLC correctly.

Here is how:
cd extras/tools
./bootstrap && make
cd ../..

'''Important''': set the new PATH, before doing anything else.
export PATH=$PWD/extras/tools/build/bin:$PATH

== Prepare [[Contrib Status|3rd party libraries]] ==

To compile VLC, you need lots of other libraries, called 3rd party.

First, set the correct '''SDK''' version for the 3rd party libraries, usually your current OS X Version:

export OSX_VERSION=10.11

Then, prepare the 3rd party library folder:

mkdir -p contrib/contrib-osx && cd contrib/contrib-osx
../bootstrap --build=x86_64-apple-darwin15

=== Prebuilt libraries (recommended) ===

If you want to download a prebuilt package of all the needed libraries.

make prebuilt

Now you can just skip to the [[OSXCompile#Update_PATH|Update PATH]] section.

=== Build your own libraries (not for the faint-hearted) ===
Note: In order to build the libraries you need to use an OS X SDK Version lower than 10.12, the 10.12 SDK causes problems
making it impossible to use the resulting libraries (and VLC build) on any macOS version lower than 10.12!
You can set the SDK Version (if it's installed) using <code>export OSX_VERSION=10.11</code>.

You need to install the [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/pt/java/javase/downloads/index.html Java JDK].

If you want to build contribs from source, you first need to make gettext, which is needed for some other contrib libraries to build:

make -j4 .gettext

Now you need to update your path for the gettext tools to be usable later on, see the [[#Update_PATH|Update PATH]] section above.

Then fetch contrib sources:

make fetch

and build them with:

make

If you had no errors, the 3rd party libraries (contrib) are built correctly and you can proceed to the next step.

=== Update PATH ===

First we go back to the source directory:

cd ../..

And now we still need to add the contribs to our path, so they can be found:

export PATH=$PWD/contrib/x86_64-apple-darwin15/bin:$PATH

== Bootstrap VLC ==

This will create the configure script:

./bootstrap

Check that there are no obvious errors at this stage, like missing gettext or an error at exit.

== Configure the VLC build ==

Create a build folder:

mkdir -p build && cd build

To list the different options of configure:

../extras/package/macosx/configure.sh --help

To build a binary with the previously installed x86_64-apple-darwin15 contrib:

../extras/package/macosx/configure.sh --enable-debug --host=x86_64-apple-darwin15

= [[GetTheSource|Get the source code]] =

git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git

= Build VLC with a single command =

Setup a build folder:
cd vlc && mkdir build && cd build

And run the build:
../extras/package/macosx/build.sh

Wait and you have finished.

You can see more options for this build (change arch or sdk):
../extras/package/macosx/build.sh -h

In case this fails, please try the step-by-step build guide below using a
clean checkout.

= Build steps =
Now, if you prefer, you can read the following detailed information on how the build internally works:

== Additional development tools ==

You need development tools, notably all the autotools, to build VLC correctly.

Here is how:
cd extras/tools
./bootstrap && make
cd ../..

'''Important''': set the new PATH, before doing anything else.
export PATH=$PWD/extras/tools/build/bin:$PATH

== Prepare [[Contrib Status|3rd party libraries]] ==

To compile VLC, you need lots of other libraries, called 3rd party.

First, set the correct '''SDK''' version for the 3rd party libraries, usually your current OS X Version:

export OSX_VERSION=10.11

Then, prepare the 3rd party library folder:

mkdir -p contrib/contrib-osx && cd contrib/contrib-osx
../bootstrap --build=x86_64-apple-darwin15

=== Prebuilt libraries (recommended) ===

If you want to download a prebuilt package of all the needed libraries.

make prebuilt

Now you can just skip to the [[OSXCompile#Update_PATH|Update PATH]] section.

=== Build your own libraries (not for the faint-hearted) ===
Note: In order to build the libraries you need to use an OS X SDK Version lower than 10.12, the 10.12 SDK causes problems
making it impossible to use the resulting libraries (and VLC build) on any macOS version lower than 10.12!
You can set the SDK Version (if it's installed) using <code>export OSX_VERSION=10.11</code>.

You need to install the [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/pt/java/javase/downloads/index.html Java JDK].

If you want to build contribs from source, you first need to make gettext, which is needed for some other contrib libraries to build:

make -j4 .gettext

Now you need to update your path for the gettext tools to be usable later on, see the [[#Update_PATH|Update PATH]] section above.

Then fetch contrib sources:

make fetch

and build them with:

make

If you had no errors, the 3rd party libraries (contrib) are built correctly and you can proceed to the next step.

=== Update PATH ===

First we go back to the source directory:

cd ../..

And now we still need to add the contribs to our path, so they can be found:

export PATH=$PWD/contrib/x86_64-apple-darwin15/bin:$PATH

== Bootstrap VLC ==

This will create the configure script:

./bootstrap

Check that there are no obvious errors at this stage, like missing gettext or an error at exit.

== Configure the VLC build ==

Create a build folder:

mkdir -p build && cd build

To list the different options of configure:

../extras/package/macosx/configure.sh --help

To build a binary with the previously installed x86_64-apple-darwin15 contrib:

../extras/package/macosx/configure.sh --enable-debug --host=x86_64-apple-darwin15

By default it will not use the installed SDK, like Xcode does, but use System Root. This means that if you built contribs on your own, the configure script might behave unexpectedly, for example enabling functions which are not present in a given operating system version. To work around this and build against the latest installed SDK, you can use:

--with-macosx-sdk=`xcrun --show-sdk-path`

If you want to use a different SDK, you can list all installed SDKs with <code>xcodebuild -showsdks</code> and to get the path for it, you can use the following command <code>xcodebuild -version <SDK Flag from before> Path</code>.<br />
For example: <code>xcodebuild -version -sdk macosx10.11 Path</code>

== Build VLC ==

Just do:
make -j4

and wait...

== Run VLC ==
After <code>make</code>, you can just run VLC like so:

./bin/vlc-osx-static

If you want a VLC app bundle, just do

make VLC.app

And use it like a normal .app bundle.

== Package VLC Application for Mac ==

If you want a disk-image:

make package-macosx

Note: If you want a more fancy disk image, you need the [https://bitbucket.org/al45tair/dmgbuild dmgbuild] tool, which can be installed using <code>pip install dmgbuild</code> if you have
python installed using [https://brew.sh Homebrew].

== Sign VLC Application for Mac ==

If you want to sign your application with a certificate, for example for Gatekeeper, you need to run:

extras/package/macosx/codesign.sh -i "certificate name"

= Troubleshooting =

== 3rd party packagers and PATH ==

'''Pay careful attention to remove any reference to 3rd party package managersfrom your environment.''' This is important to avoid conflicts between your package manager (homebrew, fink, macports...) and the contrib package manager we use to build our contrib.

It shouldn't be necessary, but it can happen.

'''git must still be accessible though!'''

unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH
unset PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
export PATH=$PWD/build/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin

== Xcode 'No developer directory' error ==
When running <code>xcrun clang</code>, if you see

Error: No developer directory...

then use xcode-select to select the developer directory within the Xcode package, to point to your xcode developer directory.

something like:

sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

To work around this and build against the latest installed SDK, you can use:

--with-macosx-sdk=`xcrun --show-sdk-path`

If you want to use a different SDK, you can list all installed SDKs with <code>xcodebuild -showsdks</code> and to get the path for it, you can use the following command <code>xcodebuild -version <SDK Flag from before> Path</code>.<br />
For example: <code>xcodebuild -version -sdk macosx10.11 Path</code>

== Build VLC ==

Just do:
make -j4

and wait...

== Run VLC ==
After <code>make</code>, you can just run VLC like so:

./bin/vlc-osx-static

If you want a VLC app bundle, just do

make VLC.app

And use it like a normal .app bundle.

== Package VLC Application for Mac ==

If you want a disk-image:

make package-macosx

== Sign VLC Application for Mac ==

If you want to sign your application with a certificate, for example for Gatekeeper, you need to run:

extras/package/macosx/codesign.sh -i "certificate name"

== 3rd party packagers and PATH ==

'''Pay careful attention to remove any reference to 3rd party package managersfrom your environment.''' This is important to avoid conflicts between your package manager (homebrew, fink, macports...) and the contrib package manager we use to build our contrib.

It shouldn't be necessary, but it can happen.

'''git must still be accessible though!'''

unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH
unset PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
export PATH=$PWD/build/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin

== Xcode xcrun error ==
When running <code>xcrun clang</code>, if you see

Error: No developer directory...

then use xcode-select to select the developer directory within the Xcode package, to point to your xcode developer directory.

something like:

sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

=== Configure the environment ===

If you have compiling errors, notably if you are not using the latest Xcode (Xcode 8 at the time of the writing of the document), adjust the following part.

VLC needs to be compiled using Apple's clang compiler in its latest version. To use this compiler, you need to export the respective variables. In a Bourne Shell, type this (if Xcode is installed to its default location; bash is the default shell on OS X):

export CC="xcrun clang"
export CXX="xcrun clang++"
export OBJC="xcrun clang"

If you are using a C-Shell, you need to use the setenv command of course.

EPirat: /* Xcode xcrun error */

This is an '''howto''' to compile {{VLC}} on '''macOS''' ''(also known as Mac OS X)'', focused on '''VLC 3.0''' and later.

= Pre-requisites =

=== Apple Software ===

*You need at least macOS '''10.10'''. Any later version is strongly recommended, though.
*'''Developer Tools from Apple''' from [https://developer.apple.com/xcode/ developer.apple.com/xcode]<br> You need at least ''Xcode 7.2''. <br />Note that we need the optional command line tools, which can be installed through the preferences dialog or through the OS X dialog offering their installation.

=== Compiler test ===

You need to check that all is working well.

xcrun clang

If this outputs anything else than 'clang: error: no input files', see the troubleshooting part of this document.

= [[GetTheSource|Get the source code]] =

git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git

= Build VLC with a single command =

Setup a build folder:
cd vlc && mkdir build && cd build

And run the build:
../extras/package/macosx/build.sh

Wait and you have finished.

You can see more options for this build (change arch or sdk):
../extras/package/macosx/build.sh -h

In case this fails, please try the step-by-step build guide below using a
clean checkout.

= Build steps =
Now, if you prefer, you can read the following detailed information on how the build internally works:

== Additional development tools ==

You need development tools, notably all the autotools, to build VLC correctly.

Here is how:
cd extras/tools
./bootstrap && make
cd ../..

'''Important''': set the new PATH, before doing anything else.
export PATH=$PWD/extras/tools/build/bin:$PATH

== Prepare [[Contrib Status|3rd party libraries]] ==

To compile VLC, you need lots of other libraries, called 3rd party.

First, set the correct '''SDK''' version for the 3rd party libraries, usually your current OS X Version:

export OSX_VERSION=10.11

Then, prepare the 3rd party library folder:

mkdir -p contrib/contrib-osx && cd contrib/contrib-osx
../bootstrap --build=x86_64-apple-darwin15

=== Prebuilt libraries (recommended) ===

If you want to download a prebuilt package of all the needed libraries.

make prebuilt

Now you can just skip to the [[OSXCompile#Update_PATH|Update PATH]] section.

=== Build your own libraries (not for the faint-hearted) ===
Note: In order to build the libraries you need to use an OS X SDK Version lower than 10.12, the 10.12 SDK causes problems
making it impossible to use the resulting libraries (and VLC build) on any macOS version lower than 10.12!
You can set the SDK Version (if it's installed) using <code>export OSX_VERSION=10.11</code>.

You need to install the Java JDK.

If you want to build contribs from source, you first need to make gettext, which is needed for some other contrib libraries to build:

make -j4 .gettext

Now you need to update your path for the gettext tools to be usable later on, see the [[#Update_PATH|Update PATH]] section above.

Then fetch contrib sources:

make fetch

and build them with:

make

If you had no errors, the 3rd party libraries (contrib) are built correctly and you can proceed to the next step.

=== Update PATH ===

First we go back to the source directory:

cd ../..

And now we still need to add the contribs to our path, so they can be found:

export PATH=$PWD/contrib/x86_64-apple-darwin15/bin:$PATH

== Bootstrap VLC ==

This will create the configure script:

./bootstrap

Check that there are no obvious errors at this stage, like missing gettext or an error at exit.

== Configure the VLC build ==

Create a build folder:

mkdir -p build && cd build

To list the different options of configure:

../extras/package/macosx/configure.sh --help

To build a binary with the previously installed x86_64-apple-darwin15 contrib:

../extras/package/macosx/configure.sh --enable-debug --host=x86_64-apple-darwin15

By default it will not use the installed SDK, like Xcode does, but use System Root. This means that if you built contribs on your own, the configure script might behave unexpectedly, for example enabling functions which are not present in a given operating system version. To work around this and build against the latest installed SDK, you can use:

--with-macosx-sdk=`xcrun --show-sdk-path`

If you want to use a different SDK, you can list all installed SDKs with <code>xcodebuild -showsdks</code> and to get the path for it, you can use the following command <code>xcodebuild -version <SDK Flag from before> Path</code>.<br />
For example: <code>xcodebuild -version -sdk macosx10.11 Path</code>

== Build VLC ==

Just do:
make -j4

and wait...

== Run VLC ==
After <code>make</code>, you can just run VLC like so:

./bin/vlc-osx-static

If you want a VLC app bundle, just do

make VLC.app

And use it like a normal .app bundle.

== Package VLC Application for Mac ==

If you want a disk-image:

make package-macosx

== Sign VLC Application for Mac ==

If you want to sign your application with a certificate, for example for Gatekeeper, you need to run:

extras/package/macosx/codesign.sh -i "certificate name"

== 3rd party packagers and PATH ==

'''Pay careful attention to remove any reference to 3rd party package managersfrom your environment.''' This is important to avoid conflicts between your package manager (homebrew, fink, macports...) and the contrib package manager we use to build our contrib.

'''git must still be accessible though!'''

unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH
unset PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
export PATH=$PWD/build/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin

== Xcode xcrun error ==
When running `xcrun clang`, if you see

Error: No developer directory...

then use xcode-select to select the developer directory within the Xcode package, to point to your xcode developer directory.

something like:

sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
