Presented by Jean-Baptiste Kempf, VideoLAN
Abstract
VLC is using Qt as its main GUI library since 2009 when it moved to Qt4 and QtWidgets.
Tens years later, we’re changing heavily the interface of VLC, and we’re moving to Qt5 and Qml as our main engine for the interface. The new interface, planned for VLC 4.0 will change the way people interact with VLC.
This talk will trace back our history about VLC and Qt and will explain what we will do on the new interface.
