Wayland Support Starts Coming Together For VLC Media Player

Users of the VLC multimedia player will be happy to know that the Wayland support is coming along for those wanting to abandon their X.Org Server.

There's been Wayland-related work in VLC Git going to this summer, but today and in previous days have been more work. There's now Wayland extended platform support to enable OpenGL / OpenGL ES through Wayland, basic window size handling, and other underlying platform work for Wayland support in VLC. This work is being done by Rémi Denis-Courmont.

Those wishing to track the process of Wayland support for VLC can follow the VideoLAN.org Git.
