Description

After installing the add-on and restarting Anki, the audio files will be played using VLC media player.

If I remember correctly, the video will be played by VLC too.

The add-on will only work on Windows and VLC is expected to be installed at C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC

It was last tested with Anki 24.11 and VLC 3.0.21.
