Introduction
The core of VLC media player is the LibVLC, which provides an interface for applications to handle features such as playlist management, audio and video decoding and output, a thread system. All the LibVLC source files are located in the src/ directory and its subdirectories:
- config/:
- control/:
- extras/:
- modules/:
- network/:
- osd/:
- test/:
- text/:
- interface/: contains code for user interaction such as key presses and device ejection.
- playlist/: manages playlist interaction such as stop, play, next, or random playback.
- input/: opens an input module, reads packets, parses them and passes reconstituted elementary streams to the decoder(s).
- video_output/: initializes the video display, gets all pictures and subpictures (ie. subtitles) from the decoder(s), optionally converts them to another format (such as YUV to RGB), and displays them.
- audio_output/: initializes the audio mixer, ie. finds the right playing frequency, and then resamples audio frames received from the decoder(s).
- stream_output/: TODO
- misc/: miscellaneous utilities used in other parts of libvlc, such as the thread system, the message queue, CPU detection, the object lookup system, or platform-specific code.
