Source code

For the Android app from version 1.2.7

The NovArc IPTV Player Android app plays some streams with libVLC, VideoLAN's video engine, which is free software under the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 or later. It's built with VideoLAN's own build scripts in their LGPL-only mode, with one change to the build script: the few VLC modules that are under the GPL rather than the LGPL are left out (VLC's own source is unchanged). It ships in the app as separate shared libraries (libvlc.so, libvlcjni.so), so you can replace them with your own build. Below is its complete source code, with everything built into it, how it was built, and how to rebuild it.

Our offer

NovArc LLC keeps this source here for as long as we offer any version of the app built with it, here or in any app store we publish it in, and for at least three years after we last give out a copy. For at least three years from the day you got a version of the app, you can also ask us for the complete source of the libVLC build in that version (with everything built into it, and how it was built), and we'll send it for no more than what sending it costs us: write to support@novarcplayer.com and tell us the app's version (Settings › About).

The licences and copyright notices of libVLC and of everything built into it are in the app, under Settings › About › Open-source licenses. Questions: support@novarcplayer.com.
