VLC 4 Beta

This is a community package of VLC 4 development builds and is not affiliated with or endorsed by VideoLAN. The builds come from jing2uo/vlc-nightly-release, which builds VLC weekly from a pinned VLC master commit with VLC's own contrib system against KDE Platform 6.11, on public GitHub Actions with signed build attestations. One small compatibility fix is applied to the source; it and each release's provenance are recorded in that repository. Report problems there, not to VideoLAN.

VLC 4 is still in development, so these builds can contain regressions and crashes. For the stable release, use org.videolan.VLC from Flathub; both can be installed side by side.

Play local audio and video files and network streams with the new VLC 4 interface.

Music and Videos folders are available by default. Allow another media folder with flatpak override --user --filesystem=/path/to/media:ro org.videolan.VLCBeta. Undo custom permissions with flatpak override --user --reset org.videolan.VLCBeta.

For a desktop with a StatusNotifier tray, opt in with flatpak override --user --talk-name=org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher --own-name=org.kde.StatusNotifierItem-* org.videolan.VLCBeta.

Opt into optical discs or capture devices with flatpak override --user --device=all org.videolan.VLCBeta.

Update to the stripped community VLC development build for x86_64 and aarch64.
