This is the official **Android** port of [VLC](https://videolan.org/vlc/).
VLC on Android plays all the same files as the classical version of VLC, and features a media database
for Audio and Video files and stream.
VLC for Android is licensed under GPLv2 (or later). Android libraries makes this, de facto, a GPLv3 application.
VLC engine *(libvlc)* for Android is licensed under LGPL.
## Build
You will need a recent Linux distribution to build VLC.
It should work with Windows 10, and macOS, but there is no official support for this.
