 ## Workings
+The repository contains a [C++ wrapper](https://github.com/alexmercerind/dart_vlc/tree/master/dartvlc) based on libVLC++. This makes handling of events and controls a lot easier & has additional features in it.
+I preferred to do majority of handling in C++ itself, thus Dart code is minimal & very slight mapping to it.

[Here](https://github.com/alexmercerind/dart_vlc/tree/master/ffi) are the FFI bindings to [C++ wrapper](https://github.com/alexmercerind/dart_vlc/tree/master/dartvlc), which are shared by all platforms & same can be used in Dart CLI apps aswell.
