• It also supports some funky stuff like raw H.264 over UDP if you use ffmpeg to prepend special packets to the start of the video stream (Ideal for a DIY low latency video streaming solution ). If you decrypt digital OTA tv signals (DVB format), VLC will play the live underlying raw mpeg stream just fine.

      Truly a swiss army knife of video playback, especially the underutilized network url file open option

      Idk about that. I don’t even care much cuz I don’t use VLC at all. Lol I just wanted to send a regular short controversial unpopular opinion comment. I hope it’s not considered wrong here

      I mean it is right there in the name: Video Lan Client.

      My first use of VLC 20yrs ago was to stream video. it is the core of the product.
