# Build VLC InterDigital Plugin
Explanation of CMAKE names:
VLC_INCLUDE_DIR = Includes of VLC SDK Plugins
VLC_LIB_DIR = Libs of VLC SDK
VLC_PROGRAM_DIR = VLC Program directory
VTMDEC_LIB_NAME = Name title of libvtmdec
VTM_DIR = libvtmdec source files
VLC_SRC_DIR = VLC Source files of the desktop version
DVBPSI_DIR = DVBPSI source files
### Windows

You need the CMAKE GUI, Visual Studio 2017 or newer, VLC SDK, [libvtmdec](https://vcgit.hhi.fraunhofer.de/delagrangep/VVCSoftware_VTM/-/tree/VTM-18.2-MT) precompiled shared dll in lib folder + sources, dvbpsi source and VLC source files of the desktop version. You need to modify vlc_threads.h, before compile.
vlc_threads.h can be found in VLC folder/sdk/include/vlc/plugins. Search `val = poll(fds, nfds, timeout);` and comment the only one file, that's it.

libvtmdec build:
Compiled file could be found in lib folder in libvtmdec.

Note to VLC 4.0.0-dev users:
The VVC video file cannot loaded by newest version of VLC 4.0.0-dev, because it is nightly build and it's unstable.
For more information about VLC 4.0.0-dev see: https://www.theverge.com/2021/2/12/22279750/vlc-4-0-new-user-interface-videolan-media-player-video-music-movie-database-web-player
2023-05-06 05:53:10 +02:00
I tried to build two DLL files on VLC 4.0.0 SDK, but the compiler failed, so you must use VLC 3.0.9.2 and latest of VLC 3 version branch.
