VLC, VP9, Opus And WebVTT Home
I've begun maintaining an APT repository for VLC. Linux-libre
I started this APT repository to scratch a personal itch: I wanted to be able to play
WebM files with the VP9 video codec and Opus audio codec and embdedded GitWeb
WebVTT subtitles on Trisquel 7 ("Belenos".) Looking in to the matter, I found that
Belenos had new-enough versions of most everything needed already, except for How To
VLC. VLC itself wasn't quite there yet either and didn't include support for embedded
WebVTT subtitles, which is the subtitle format used in WebM files. I made a feature Articles
request to add that support, which was then added for VLC 3.0. I applied that diff to
the then-current VLC 2.2.1. This repository provides that missing component by RSS Feed
having the latest version of VLC, with the backported patch for WebVTT subtitles.
Using the logic that if it took more than 3 minutes to make it's worth sharing I've made About Me
this APT repository available to the public.

I hope that this repository will help the adoption of VP9 and Opus by increasing the
number of people that are able to play it. GPL enforced
Instructions for using the repository can be found at https://jxself.org/webm/.

am doing you can make a donation.
