    Can a unity dev/game dev help elucidate why you'd use vlc in unity?

    For cutscene playback?

    Recently 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.

      Don't forget to build 'correct' ELF64 binaries for broad elf(glibc)/linux distro support (-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++, and tight glibc ABI version control with binutils VERSION scripts).

      At least those build options should be default.

    Blocked because I don't use cookies. Ok, I've always preferred mpv anyway.
