Working on implementing libVLC in Godot with a GDExtension so I will be able to load more video extension (other than .ogg theora) :)
I already had this result, for now I mainly tried to load the library inside Godot to load a placeholder video, and it's a success!

elisa uses libvlc for audio playback (unless it's not detected at build time, in which case it will use qtmultimedia), so i'd believe the issue is most likely with how vlc handles audio decoding/playback/resampling
out of curiosity, are the results different between vorbis and opus?

After years of wondering if it was possible, I finally figured out how to set custom deinterlacing settings in the VLC app on Android.
Settings -> Advanced -> Custom libVLC Options
--deinterlace={1 for On, 0 for Off, -1 for Auto}
--deinterlace-mode={yadif2x for 60p/50p, ivtc for 24p detelecine}
Settings -> Advanced -> Custom libVLC Options
--deinterlace={1 for On, 0 for Off, -1 for Auto}
--deinterlace-mode={yadif2x for 60p/50p, ivtc for 24p detelecine}

LibVLC is powerful. You can add full VLC power to your playback program by embedding the modular LibVLC functionality.
Even the most obscure formats can be played by LibVLC

Ok did they really need QuickTime?
I wrote software for media playback using LibVLC...
It works on Windows, Linux and OS X...
It can do mp3 and mp4....
So was all of that really needed?

Not yet. Feature-wise, I think it's in a pretty good state (native video codecs + libvlc backend, video/audio/text track editor & layering, timeline scrolling & zooming, keyframes & curves). But the UI is still very clunky and needs a lot more care and attention.

Few, after a lots of test, try and fail, I dropped the idea to use libVLC... to use FFmpeg instead :)
Yes, I will not stop trying until I can start an MP4 or other video format in Godot haha.
Already got some (very) small results with FFmpeg and a test mp4 video 👀

mpv (due to its dependence on ffmpeg) is only useful for basic streaming. It fails on any FAST streams which use discontinuity, and is really slow for dash and hls startup.
Libvlc (especially the most recent ver 4) fares much better as it has its own demuxers. Gstreamer is fine too.

Trdo 2.0: Schlichter Player für Internetradio für Windows heißt nun Traydio – Techgedöns [tɛçgədøːns]
Die minimalistisch Radio-App Trdo für Windows heißt ab Version 2.0 Traydio und erhält eine überarbeitete, für Touch und Stift optimiertes UI. Zudem lassen sich Radiosender in Ordnern organisiert, die Suche nach Stationen wurde verbessert und LibVLC sorgt für eine zuverlässigere Wiedergabe.

Oh I meant QuickTime by QT, not qt. Character limit here.
I suppose you could do a DRM lib on top of libVLC, but it might run into GPL violations or similar issues, and RIAA, etc might not like it.
What I do know is Apple decided to use what they developed in-house.

The newest version of Jellyfin for Android TV dropped the option to use libvlc instead of ExoPlayer (for understandable reasons), but now it tries to transcode pretty much anything with subtitles, even if in H.264.
I guess it's back to Kodi + Jellyfin plugin until this improves then... :ChicoTristo:

Depende de como está esse m3u8… se me lembro bem, o formato pode ser enviado em chunks (q acredito q seja) ou aponte pro arquivo inteiro (duvido mt). Uma alternativa ao ffmpeg seria a libvlc, trabalhei uns anos com ela na época q eu servia IPTV pra fazer retransmissão do streaming.
