VLC Developers Corner

Welcome to VLC's developers corner. This is a directory of everything to do with the development of VLC. If you are looking for information about downloading or using VLC, you should have a look at our website [[1]].

Compiling VLC At the moment, all information is available from here : http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/

Joining us VideoLAN welcomes anyone wanting to help, either by writing code, finding or fixing bugs, 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.
