## Requirements

- VLC 3.0.x

- Windows 10 Version 1607+

## Installation

1. Get the plugin from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/spmn/vlc-win10smtc/releases)

2. Copy `libwin10smtc_plugin.dll` to `\plugins\misc`

    - *Note:* DLL architecture must match vlc.exe architecture (eg: x86 plugin is not compatible with x64 VLC)

3. Restart VLC and navigate to Advanced Preferences -> Interface -> Control Interfaces

4. Check `Windows 10 SMTC integration` and hit Save

## Build instructions

1. Obtain VLC SDK from [here (x64)](https://get.videolan.org/vlc/3.0.16/win64/vlc-3.0.16-win64.7z) or [here (x86)](https://get.videolan.org/vlc/3.0.16/win32/vlc-3.0.16-win32.7z) and copy `sdk` directory into the root directory of the repository. You may need to rename `lib` to `lib64` for 64-bit builds.

2. Load .sln file in Visual Studio

3. Select target architecture

4. Build solution
