Once loaded, you can instantiate VLC's MediaPlayer : kmp external codec libvlcjni.so cpu arm64-v8a

# Clone VLC Android source git clone https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android.git cd vlc-android ./compile.sh -a arm64-v8a Output located at: vlc-android/libvlc/jni/libs/arm64-v8a/libvlcjni.so Loading the Library in KMP Shared Code Use

import kotlinx.cinterop.* import platform.posix.dlopen actual fun loadVlcLibraries() // For iOS, use MobileVLCKit (static lib) instead of .so // .so is Android-specific; iOS uses .dylib or .framework kmp external codec libvlcjni.so cpu arm64-v8a

For KMP, ensure the Android target uses androidTarget() and not android() . The jniLibs folder must be correctly merged during the final APK/AAB build. 4. Loading the Library in KMP Shared Code Use platform-specific expects/actuals to load libvlcjni.so : 4.1 Common Kotlin ( commonMain ) expect fun loadVlcLibraries() 4.2 Android Actual ( androidMain ) import android.os.Build import java.io.File actual fun loadVlcLibraries() System.loadLibrary("vlcjni") // Additional setup for VLC context
