If you are an iOS developer who is preparing to establish a video streaming application, you probably started by using AVPlayer from the AVFoundation framework for the video streaming but you have ended up with the problem of support limitation. Right?
AVPlayer doesn’t support a lot of media so that developers start thinking of another media player.
VLCMediaPlayer from VLC SDK!
VLC Media Player supports a very wide range of media.
The problem: There is no well-explained reference (you may say, there is no reference at all!) to guide you on how to install and use the SDK.
I have faced the same problem as you and I started searching a lot and a lot. Every time, I find people saying “bla bla bla bla…” which made it worse!
Fortunately and eventually, I ended up understanding the process very well, and guess what? It’s very easy! And to make it easy for everyone else, I have decided to document it.
I will guide you guys step by step through the process of installing and using VLCKit, MobileVLCKit, and TVVLCKit. Keep in touch!

Hello guys 👋 First of all, thank u all for great comments ♥️ The one thing u should know, VLCKIT consumes much memory and storage than Apple AVKIT. Once u install VLCKIT, your project will extend up to 2 GB !! So to archive it, u need computer with high-end computing features. In our company, we use a mac pro with 16 RAM. Good luck.

hey, Thanks a lot for the video, Can you help me add a controller over this to play / pause, and move forward / backend with progress bar and landscape mode. Actually I am developing an ios app where .mkv format needs to be played which is not possible with AVkit.

Wow! Great Video and it worked like a charm from the very beginning. Maybe you should produce more videos like this! Thanks a lot!

Thanks bro

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! The only reference for VLCKIT in apple development area !

@CarolaNitz 5 лет назад

That and the samples in the project itself and VLC for iOS and tvOS who are build with VLCKit should help as reference as well. The project itself also has a doxygen documentation

@essam_fahmi Год назад

@@CarolaNitz The documentation is not really enough as it is clear from the comments 👀

I’m a new developer, or wanna be one and can’t get this installed on by new tvOS or Xcode 13. Anyone got any ideas? Even until instructions aren’t working

I hope you find a solution for your question 🙏

Great video thanks!! Will this play a Multicast UDP stream?

@essam_fahmi 5 лет назад

I think it will. You can try it anyway :D

@onmars944 4 года назад

Good Tutorial , Well explained

@jfieqj 5 лет назад

This is awesome, thank you. I am implementing VLCKit on macOS, but this helped me get that working. One thing I am having trouble with: when you resize the view that the media player object draws to, how do you get the video to letterbox (maintain aspect ratio) instead of stretching? I see that it will reset to the correct aspect ratio if I stop and start the video, but I don't understand how to keep it like this without restarting the video.

@essam_fahmi Год назад

It should be the same process as I remember

@Axel-st4up 2 года назад

I am following steps for iOS. Why do I get "ld: framework not found MobileVLCKit"? I did pod install and linked the binaries.

@essam_fahmi 2 года назад

Check that you have the right requirements and the supported version of cocoapods here: github.com/videolan/vlckit

@Axel-st4up 2 года назад

@@essam_fahmi Cocoapods version required is 1.4+ but the latest version is 1.11.2? How is that possible?
