Only what the catalog names. A directory that syncs brings everything inside it except what is listed as excluded here.

apps/vlc.tomlThe file this page is generated from

id = "vlc"

name = "VLC media player"

homepage = "https://www.videolan.org/vlc/"

description = "A free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework."

icon = "SimpleIcons:vlcmediaplayer"

# The Homebrew cask installs a `vlc` command wrapper around the app bundle's

# executable (Casks/v/vlc.rb, `command_wrapper "vlc"`), and the Linux packages

# ship the same name, so the binary is what a consumer sees rather than the

# bundle identifier.

detect = ["vlc"]

# https://wiki.videolan.org/Preferences/ gives the preferences file per

# platform: "~/.config/vlc/vlcrc" on Linux/Unix — it was ~/.vlc/vlcrc before

# 0.9, long enough ago not to be worth naming — "~/Library/Preferences/

# org.videolan.vlc/vlcrc" on macOS, and "%appdata%\vlc\vlcrc" on Windows.

# macOS is the odd one out: a folder under ~/Library/Preferences rather than

# Application Support, which is [preferences]. Linux and Windows are one

# location under two names, which is [configHome] — VLC resolves the Unix side

# through XDG, so the placeholder picks up $XDG_CONFIG_HOME rather than

# hard-coding ~/.config. Windows spells the folder `vlc` in lower case there

# too, per the same page.

# The Mac interface also keeps an ordinary NSUserDefaults domain beside the

# folder: Casks/v/vlc.rb zaps both ~/Library/Preferences/org.videolan.vlc and

# ~/Library/Preferences/org.videolan.vlc.plist.

paths = [

"[preferences]/org.videolan.vlc/vlcrc",

exclude = []

# No credential file. The cask's zap list holds caches, HTTPStorages and saved

# application state beside the two preference locations, and nothing under the

# home directory that is a credential end to end.

secret = []

# No machine_lines. vlcrc is a flat INI of playback, audio, video and hotkey

# settings — the things a user wants on the next machine — and the Mac domain

# beside it is a property list, which this schema has no matcher for.

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/vlc. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.
