Here you can download experimental versions of VLC that are daily generated from the VLC code that is currently in development. Several issues that existed in previous versions of VLC might be fixed here, but since this version of VLC is not yet finished, you should expect other problems and issues.

Warning! The nightly builds are UNSTABLE and may not work at all. There is absolutely NO SUPPORT for it from the VideoLAN Team.

Source-code snapshots

The tarballs service is discontinued, please use Git to get the latest source code.

The nightly builds for Ubuntu are available on Launchpad from the VideoLAN team's master-daily PPA. Once you have activated the correct repository, you can simply update the VLC ( vlc ) package.

Those repositories contain a vlc-dbg package. We recommend you install it so you can produce useful backtraces if you need to report a bug.

For openSUSE 11.4, 12.3, 13.1, 13.2 and Tumbleweed we offer also RPMs from SVN snapshots. The packages are updated approximatively once per week.

In order to test it, follow the usual instructions to install VLC as described on www.videolan.org/vlc/download-suse.html, but replace the packagename vlc with vlc-beta. You can only install one version, so either vlc OR vlc-beta. They conflict each other.

Alexis Ballier maintains Ebuild for the master (vlc-9999.ebuild) Git branch in the Portage tree.

As it is a live ebuild it comes without any keyword so you'll have to put a '**' entry for it in package.keywords in order to be able to install it and, when appropriate, an entry in package.unmask .
