VLC media player nightly builds

VLC on Windows

Welcome!

Here you can download experimental versions of VLC that are daily generated from the VLC code that is currently in development.
Several issues that existed in previous versions of VLC might be fixed here, but since this version of VLC is not yet finished, you should expect other problems and issues.

WARNING: The nightly builds are UNSTABLE and may not work at all.
There is absolutely NO SUPPORT for it from the VideoLAN Team.

VLC SVN Snapshots for openSUSE

For openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3 we offer also RPMs from SVN snapshots. The packages are updated approximatively once per week.

In order to test it, follow the usual instructions to install VLC as described on http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-suse.html, but replace the packagename vlc with vlc-beta. You can only install one version, so either vlc OR vlc-beta. They conflict each other.

VLC SVN Ebuild for Gentoo

Alexis Ballier maintains a Ebuild for the SVN version at http://dev.gentoo.org/~aballier/vlc-9999.ebuild.
