How does VLC load modules?
Introduction about Modules
VLC has a core and a lot of modules (between 200 and 400 depending on the build).
VLC cannot do much without modules, since modules are providing most of the functionnalities we expect. See the "Major Capabilites" sections.
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
Loading Modules
- Using Console
vlc --list
- Using GUI
Menu -> Tools -> Plugins and extensions
