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.

Features

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.

The Unity Asset Store deprecated our assets for licensing reasons. We are currently working with Unity on getting the asset back on their store soon. The asset listed here is the same project and team than the one previously listed on the Unity Store.

We distribute the VLC for Unity assets through our own Store now, here on videolabs.io.

If you purchased the asset previously on the Unity Store, you can email us with your Unity invoice at unity@videolabs.io, and we will provide you with access to the latest builds for the platform you already purchased.

The first best step is to create an issue on our gitlab issue tracker, using an issue template to help us reproduce. This will start the conversation on the issue and help assess its nature and complexity.
