So, what’s the Chinese connection of the VLC media player and why its users in India really need not fret much. There are chances that the platform was banned along with 54 Chinese apps in February 2022. It came into effect some time early this year. Incidentally, the blocking is not new, it has been there for almost six months now. The government so far has not issued any statement on this so far. The free portable streaming media player has been blocked on Windows devices. VLC's development is coordinated by the non-profit organisation, VideoLAN.The cross-platform VLC media player’s website has been banned by the government of India. In 1998 the application was completely re-written, the functionality of the server was rolled into the client and the project was renamed VLC. The project, started in 1996, was intended to stream multimedia over a university network and consisted of a server and client. VLC was originally the client portion of the the VideoLAN project. VLC is cross-platform, and issues may be specific to a particular platform.

Questions should also consider tagging with the appropriate platform or OS tag. This tag should be used when using VLC command-line options, errors/crashes, enabling/disabling features, updating or issues with any of it's features, including but not limited to: It is able to stream media and to transcode multimedia files between formats. It is a portable, free and open-source, and supports many audio and video compression methods and file formats. VLC Media Player is media player/streaming media server by the VideoLAN project. For VLC, Super User seems like your best bet.
