			== VLCKit Testsuite ==
			'''Project Description''':
			VLCKit is the wrapper framework around libvlc that powers VLC for iOS and the respective tvOS app.
			The framework is furthermore used by thousands of Apps all over the world and subject to everyday change.

			Sadly it currently doesn't have any tests that ensure the stability of playback and deterministic behavior.
			This frequently leads to regressions that are noticed too late and unexpected behavior that sometimes even make it into the Appstore.

			The project for this summer is to build a Testsuite around VLCKit to ensure that the framwork becomes and stays stable.
			This indirectly has a huge impact on the stability of the macOS app since iOS and macOS share a code base.

			'''Tasks to do''':

			*Get an overview of the current behavior of the Framework.
			*Write a suite with different testtargets to ensure the correct behavior of every single class
			*Use so called "stubbing" and "mocking" of classes for testing purposes
			*Make sure that the testtarget runs once every day on jenkins to ensure that no regressions have been introduced.

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

			== libplacebo integration and improvement ==
			'''Project Description''':
			libplacebo (https://github.com/haasn/libplacebo) is a new library for GPU-accelerated video/image rendering primitives.

			VLC is using OpenGL and Direct3D11 on modern machines via its own plugins. We plan to use future graphics library (Metal and Vulkain) via libplacebo (that will implements them).
			libplacebo should also handle colorimetry via shaders (only OpenGL for now) or via future graphic library API.
			It will support HDR, jinc scaling, debanding...

			This project for the summer is to improve Vulkan/Metal/colorimetry inside libplacebo and integrate it inside VLC as modules.

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

			The first task is to have a working Vulkan or Metal rendering engine inside libplacebo using a basic test sample.
			The second task is to integrate that works inside VLC.

			'''Requirements''':
			This project requires '''OpenGL''', '''Vulkan''', '''Metal''', or '''Colorimetry''' knowledge as well as knowledge on VLC vout display/window plugins.

			Working on Vulkan, Metal, Colorimetry, VLC integration may need more than one students.
