Pierre Ynard e9705c553c youtube.lua: &fmt=hd URL parameter to leverage "adaptive" formats 
This provides experimental support to play again all available video
resolutions, by combining audio and video "adaptive" elementary streams
using an input slave. Not in use by default; use at your own risks.

Again, by allowing to select resolutions lower than 360p, this also
provides mitigation against the throttling issue.

VLC media player

VLC is a libre and open source media player and multimedia engine, focused on playing everything, and running everywhere.

VLC can play most multimedia files, discs, streams, devices and is also able to convert, encode, stream and manipulate streams into numerous formats.

VLC is used by many over the world, on numerous platforms, for very different use cases.

The engine of VLC can be embedded into 3rd party applications, and is called libVLC.

VLC is part of the VideoLAN project and is developed and supported by a community of volunteers.

The VideoLAN project was started at the university École Centrale Paris who relicensed VLC under the GPLv2 license in February 2001. Since then, VLC has been downloaded billions of times.

License

VLC is released under the GPLv2 (or later) license. On some platforms, it is de facto GPLv3, because of the licenses of dependencies.

libVLC, the engine is released under the LGPLv2 (or later) license.
This allows embedding the engine in 3rd party applications, while letting them to be licensed under other licenses.

Platforms

VLC is available for the following platforms:

  • Windows (from 7 and later, including UWP platforms and all versions of Windows 10)
  • macOS (10.10 and later)
  • GNU/Linux and affiliated
  • BSD and affiliated
  • Android (4.2 and later), including Android TV and Android Auto
  • iOS (9 and later), including AppleTV and iPadOS
  • Haiku, OS/2 and a few others.

Not all platforms receive the same amount of care, due to our limited resources.

Nota Bene: The Android app and the iOS app are located in different repositories than the main one.

Contributing & Community

VLC is maintained by a community of people, and VideoLAN is not paying any of them.
The community is composed of developers, helpers, maintainers, designers and writers that want this open source project to thrive.

The main development of VLC is done in the C language, but this repository also contains plenty of C++, Obj-C, asm and Rust.

Other repositories linked to vlc are done in languages including Kotlin/Java (Android), Swift (iOS), and C# (libVLCSharp).

We need help with the following tasks:

  • Coding
  • Packaging for Windows, macOS and Linux distributions
  • Technical writing for the documentation
  • Design
  • Support
  • Community management and communication.

Please contribute :)

We are on IRC. You can find us on the #videolan channel on Libera.chat.

Contributions

Contributions are now done through Merge Requests on our GitLab repository.

CI and discussions should be resolved before a Merge Request can be merged.

libVLC

libVLC is an embeddable engine for 3rd party applications and frameworks.

It runs on the same platforms as VLC (and sometimes on more) and can provide playback, streaming and conversion of multimedia files and streams.

libVLC has numerous bindings for other languages, such as C++, Python and C#.
