VLC for Windows 10 Desktop, Mobile and Xbox

This is the official mirror repository of VLC for UWP.

You can find the official repository here.

It's currently written in C# and uses libvlcpp (C++) and libvlcppcx (C++/CX) for interop with managed code.

⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ Status update: The VLC for WinRT app is retired (deprecated), there is no more development being done on it. We advice you to use the classic VLC app instead. For UWP support in your LibVLC apps, have a look at libvlcsharp.

Requirements

Building

VLC-WinRT

First, get the code

git clone --recursive https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-winrt

After this, you need to get a recent nightly build of vlc-winrt: x86 or x64

Extract the content from the archive to vlc-winrt/libvlc/Universal/vlc-x86/Debug/ and create the directories as necessary (where vlc-winrt is the repositorty root).

If you have downloaded an x64 build, replace the vlc-x86 folder name by vlc-amd64.

If you want to make a release build, replace the Debug folder name by Release.

LibVLC

If you want to build libvlc yourself (instead of grabing a nightly build), aside from a lot of time and patience, you need to install and setup mingw-w64. Then run ./compile.sh with your target platform and configuration.

Use the docker image here
