Still wished I could have VLC as an engine inside QuickTime or whatever's native to the platform/OS.
Is that possible or do you have to source the web for several obscure codecs?
- xufi 11y agoI dont think it's possible since it seemed pretty lock down to me. I just always replaced it as my main player since that seemed to be the least hasle free way than mess with the OS featured player to get it to work right
- leohutson 11y agoThis is a thing already. It's an option as a qt phonon backend in Linux at least, so all qt apps that use it will support any of vlcs codecs.
- lmm 11y agoOS-specific things are OS-specific. ffmpeg (the primary backend decoder used by VLC and many other OS projects) is a great cross-platform library that can play most things, but you need some kind of platform-specific wrapper (e.g. ffdshow on windows) to hook it into the OS' native services and make it available inside other apps.
