# VLC Media Player (Inter Digital VLC VTM Decoder Plugin installation of Windows and Linux)
This can work only for VLC 3.0.9.2 and later version (e.g., 3.0.17.4). VLC 4.0.0-dev won't work.
To install Inter Digital VLC VTM Decoder Plugin, you need VLC Media Player latest version installed on your computer and supported 64-bit.
Step 1: Copy libvtmdec.dll and libvvcdecoder_plugin.dll into your VLC Media Player folder following folder: VLC/plugins/codec
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\codec
Step 2: Copy libvvctsdemux_plugin.dll into your VLC Media Player folder following: VLC/plugins/demux
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\demux
Step 3: Enjoy and play your h266 file into your VLC Media Player :).
### For Linux users
Open terminal and copy code:
```
sudo cp libvvcdecoder_plugin.so libvtmdec.so /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/vlc/plugins/codec
sudo cp libvctsdemux_plugin.so /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/vlc/plugins/demux
```
VLC from Snap Store:
```
sudo cp libvvcdecoder_plugin.so libvtmdec.so /snap/vlc/2344/usr/lib/vlc/plugins/codec
sudo cp libvctsdemux_plugin.so /snap/vlc/2344/usr/lib/vlc/plugins/demux

# 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.

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
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.
