I can't find where to download libvlc. In fact I already use it in a Windows application I'm developping but I don't remember where I got it and wanted to have a more recent version and the licence info as I read it is LGPL but still not sure. Thanks in advance.

https://github.com/mfkl/libvlc-nuget and https://www.nuget.org/packages/VideoLAN.LibVLC.Windows/ – Sorry IwontTell Nov 29 '20 at 16:44

Old post but since its top on Google, see this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33467057/did-vlc-remove-lib-and-other-sdk-files-and-folders-from-vlc-installation In short, just download the 7z/zip package and the SDK with libs is there. – lucidMonkey Mar 01 '21 at 00:28

In their wiki page :
Warning: Please, do not put pre-release test binaries or git-compiles on software sites or on user-forums. We've had bad experiences with this before and we do not appreciate it.
It seems that they want you to pull the code and compile it yourself.
this the code page: https://wiki.videolan.org/GetTheSource/
and this instruction on windows: https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile/
Good luck!

Thank you, so it is for building the whole VLC, is it building the libvlc too ?what about https://github.com/RSATom/libvlc-sdk ? There's libs file but no dll... – Entretoize Dec 24 '15 at 14:45

If it provides .lib without .dll. this usually means that it is a static library which you do not need a dll to run it. – Humam Helfawi Dec 24 '15 at 14:46

If I were you I would compile it in the configuration I need then I will use it – Humam Helfawi Dec 25 '15 at 09:06

Just reinstall [standard] vlc. It knows where it was installed previously and has a copy of the library. No need to install the library separately. If you used standard install, this will be:
C:Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC
and the libraries will be in there

The standard version only includes the `dll`s, not the `lib`s, so it can't be built against. There's a [wiki page that discusses generating the libs from the dlls](https://wiki.videolan.org/GenerateLibFromDll/) that looks promising. – Matt Apr 05 '17 at 16:07
