Playing video without to install the player

[n7800]

I usually place it in a "VLC" subfolder of the application. This makes it easier to update VLC version and keeps it separate from the project files.

When using a subfolder for VLC, which files, ... must be there ?
- VLC libraries (libvlc.dll, libvlccore.dll)
- Pluginfolder  ?
- ?
thanks

As I mentioned, simply copy all the player files (you can even keep "vlc.exe" itself in case you're testing with the original player).

Of course, you won't need all of them, but the number of unnecessary files will be minimal. There's no point in figuring out which ones, especially while you're still writing a rough draft.

It seems these files (and folder) will be sufficient:

1. plugins\
2. libvlc.dll
3. libvlccore.dll

You can find more precise information in the official VLC documentation, it should explain what each folder/file is for. But again, it's not that important - just leave them all. The difference in size will be small.
