VLC for Unity

Our VLC for Unity plugin allows you to use a LibVLC-powered video player in your games and Unity apps. Whether you need to support a strange format, live streaming or play a 4K video in your latest production, we got you covered.

All LibVLC features available in your Unity game

Given that this plugin is using LibVLCSharp (which uses LibVLC), it exposes more or less the same feature set and same codecs support than VLC, such as:

• Play every media file formats, every codec and every streaming protocols
• Run on every platform, from desktop (Windows, Linux, Mac) to mobile (Android, iOS) and TVs
• Hardware and efficient decoding on every platform, up to 8K
• Network browsing for distant filesystems (SMB, FTP, SFTP, NFS…) and servers (UPnP, DLNA)
• Playback of Audio CD, DVD and Bluray with menu navigation
• Support for HDR, including tonemapping for SDR streams
• Audio passthrough with SPDIF and HDMI, including for Audio HD codecs, like DD+, TrueHD or DTS-HD
• Support for video and audio filters
• Support for 360 video and 3D audio playback, including Ambisonics
• Able to cast and stream to distant renderers, like Chromecast and UPnP renderers.

Most things you can achieve with the regular VLC desktop app, you can also achieve using LibVLCSharp.

• Windows Desktop Classic,
• Android,
• Universal Windows Platform (UWP).

We are always working on adding more platform support.

Free trial version

We offer a free trial version of the Unity plugin for download that you can try out before your purchase. The only difference from the Unity Store build is that it contains a videolabs.io watermark picture on the video frame. Other than this, you can try every feature of the plugin without any limitation!
