Can this be consumed from C#? #6

I'm not familiar with the terms used in the README.

Is this a .NET-capable library? Does it provide a set of MSIL types?

I'm not familiar with the terms used in the README.

Which terms? So I can clarify for others.

Is this a .NET-capable library? Does it provide a set of MSIL types?

This is NOT a .NET capable library, this is a native C/C++ library. It does not provide a set of MSIL types. However, it can be consumed by .NET by using a "wrapper" library, which is a .NET library offering MSIL types in a friendly .NET API and handling the marshaling job between native and managed code. I'm working on a Xamarin one that I plan to release on nuget very soon: https://github.com/mfkl/LibVLCSharp If you plan to target Windows only: For WPF/WinForms I recommend https://github.com/ZeBobo5/Vlc.DotNet/ made by community and pretty mature. For UWP: https://github.com/kakone/libVLCX (C++/CX) which is what https://github.com/kakone/VLC.MediaElement and https://github.com/videolan/vlc-winrt use.
