Status of #videolan IRC channel?

Postby ajmas » 12 Nov 2020 16:45

Can anyone indicate what the status of the #videolan IRC channel is? I did not find it on irc.freenode.org.

I have been out of the loop for a bit, so I am not aware if it has been shut down or something else?
Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.

The #videolan IRC channel is still alive and well.

How you are accessing it? I am not seeing it as one of the channels listed when I go to https://webchat.freenode.net/ or via LimeChat. The closest I am finding is #vlc-ios.


UPDATE:
Do NOT use freenode anymore!
The new IRC server is: irc.libera.chat
The new web interface is: https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/#ircs:// ... /#videolan

It might be unlisted, doing a:

Code: Select all

/join #videolan
should work.

Thanks. It seems to be working now. Also needed to register my nickname with NickSrv to get everything working.
