VLC media player 0.9 introduces a new interface based on the Qt toolkit.

VLC media player interface is a PLUGIN

  • You can use VLC in command line, with the http interface, or even the old wx interface, that you can compile.


VLC media player DOES NOT DEPEND on kdelibs

  • libQtCore,
  • libQtGui,
  • libvlc

That's it.
