DJF VLC Stream Deck Playback Console Companion Config - https://davidjoshuaford.com/product/vlc/
If you’re looking for a video and audio playback solution across multiple platforms, VLC is your answer!
This famous media player can pretty much handle any format you throw at it, so if your client comes to you with an obscure file a minute before showtime, you’ll be fine.
It’s very easy to drop files into the playlist and rearrange the cue list on the fly – all of which is updated on the Stream Deck instantly.
