The VideoLAN Forums

Please create a section for "VLC Modules" under: https://addons.videolan.org/

I want to create a module with common functions to avoid replicate the same code on a lot of scripts and I wouldn't like to use "VLC Other" section since it would be confusing.

Modules are listed under VLC plugins.

And I don't think the addons site is the place to list Lua helper functions.

If the module is installed then a LUA SD/extension/etc. can just use to use it, and in the description of a LUA SD/extension/etc. I can just write:
Edit: Just to be clear I really mean modules under => VLC/lua/modules (like simplexml.luac)
and not just code to copy inside other Lua addons.

I don't question that there is a use case for Lua modules to help build other Lua scripts.
I just don't think they belong on addons, which is a site for end users.

If I tell to an end user that my Lua SD require a Lua module where should I point the end user to download it?

VLC plugins seems to be (looking at the ones already here) for C modules, not Lua modules; so currently it fit only only in VLC other

Probably there will not be any new category. I think that you can use any of the available categories except the "VLC Skins" for your custom Lua modules
