Can a unity dev/game dev help elucidate why you'd use vlc in unity? For cutscene playback?
Unity includes its own video player implementation ( https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Video.html ), so presumably you'd mainly want to use VLC for wider range of supported codecs?

#22Video game programming with unity was an absolute nightmare to try and get working with any kind of gitops and or with multiple people working on the same code base a couple of years ago
Wonder if that changed ?

Sounds similar to Apple's "Core Technology Fee", literally a mechanism for sabotaging third party app distribution in the EU.
Allowing third-party "app stores" is completely useless when all apps must be approved by the operating system company.
It's also being abused by google (technically, will be, very soon), I guess they saw that since the legal framework for this kind of thing has now been written, they can do it too.

#24On a similar note: Godot VLC ( https://github.com/xiSage/godot-vlc >), because let's not pretend we don't remember the Unity terms change controversy.

Side note--is there any way to access reddit now for people who refuse to log in or get the app? Old reddit asks tells me I have to use new reddit for "security" and new reddit says "Get the app to keep using Reddit".

#30Recently added support for Linux to VLC for Unity, with full hardware decoding. It uses OpenGL rendering through GLX and EGL, with DMA-BUF texture sharing to pass video frames efficiently to Unity’s renderer. Only x86_64 is supported at this time. In the future, I will add ARM64 support as well as Vulkan.
