VLC-Qt is a free library used to connect Qt and libVLC libraries. It contains core classes for main media playback and also some GUI classes for faster media player development.
VLC-Qt runs on supported versions of Linux, macOS and Windows. It is developed in cross-platform spirit so it may work on other systems but is not supported.
Since 1.1 release, support for some older Qt and VLC versions will be removed or deprecated:
- Qt 4 support will be deprecated and removed in 2.0
- Qt 5 lower than 5.5 will be deprecated and removed in 2.0
- libVLC 2.1 will be required
You can download VLC-Qt binaries and sources from the official web page or GitHub releases.
Latest source is also available via Git:
git clone git://github.com/vlc-qt/vlc-qt.git
git submodule init
git submodule updateMaster branch is considered stable and working on all supported platforms. All development is made in branches. You can also find specific releases by browsing tags.
VLC-Qt examples are now located in the examples repository.
