I started a project with VLC for testing an idea out this last week.
I followed the wiki through and build the example with VLClib in Visual Studio 15 and it works great so I decided to make a plugin instead so I can get more control over the video.
I built the example plugin put the dll in its own directory under plugins.
I ran VLC --reset-plugin-cache but it doesn't show up in the list under plugins and extensions.
How do I install this plugin?
I am lost. I can't find the information in the wiki.
Oh and here is the code.
