    Lots of things changed in few years. Now it doesn't make sense to separate x11 packages to https://github.com/termux/x11-packages - we no longer need to deal with side collaborator access rights.

    * It is not available through the official packages repository. You could, although, try building it from the source code, however you might have to patch the source code and port it for Android; if you manage to do this, it would be appreciated if you could help the project by adding VLC to Termux's GUI repository. You could also use mpv-x as an alternative, it is available in Termux's repositories.
