Introduction about Modules

VLC has a core and a lot of modules (between 200 and 400 depending on the build).

A VLC module has 2 major properties:

  • the capability, VLC_MODULE_CAPABILITY, that describes the category of the module
  • the score, VLC_MODULE_SCORE, that holds the priority of the module
