VideoLAN other projects

Here is a short list of the main projects hosted by the VideoLAN project:

  • VLS is a streaming server, used for professional streaming solutions. VLC can now do the same. VLS is deprecated and unmaintained.
  • MiniSAPServer is a SAP server.
  • x264, a free H264 / AVC encoder.

Libraries

  • libdvdcss, a C library to access DVDs without having to bother about the decryption.
  • libdvbpsi, a C library to decode and generate MPEG TS and DVB PSI tables.
  • libdca, a DTS Coherent Acoustics decoder.

Discover also lesser known projects.

Compiling VLC

To compile VLC, you first need to get the Source Code.

Tools

Joining us

VideoLAN welcomes anyone wanting to help, either by writing code, finding or fixing bugs, starting or updating translations, doing graphics work, ...

Getting started

Getting started at coding is a matter of finding something to fix, and fixing it. Once you have fixed something, you will want to send in a patch. If you do that a few times, you may want to apply for an SVN account so you can fix things directly.

You might be interested in having a look at our Mini Projects, which are some identified development efforts for which an existing VLC developer is willing to help a new developer in his progress. These Mini Projects generally don't require a great knowledge of VLC code.

It is recommended that you join the vlc-devel mailing list, where all commits are archived.

More information on how to get started at coding on VLC.

Other software

VideoLAN is mainly about VLC, but not only.

Other software by VideoLAN include:

  • libdvdcss, a library to access DVD data without bothering about the CSS encryption
  • libdvdplay, a DVD navigation support library
  • libdvbpsi, a library to decode and create MPEG-TS and DVB-PSI tables
  • libdca, a DTS Coherent Acoustics audio decoder library
  • x264, a H264 encoding library

Miscellaneous how-to

  • Cédric Bosdonnat 's notes (fr) about developing a new module type.
  • Diego 'Flameeyes' Pettenò 's notes about packaging VLC into Gentoo.
