How to manually install VLCJVideo library

I tried to install VLCJVideo library using the contribution manager but the download fails all the time. Seems like a dead link because i can install other libraries without problems.

So i downloaded the github repository
extracted the archive, renamed the folder VLCJVideo and copied it in the processing libraries folder.

even after restarting the ide the library does not show within the instaled/contributed libraries and if i try to run one of the sketches included with the library i get the error:
“No library found for VLCJVideo
Libraries must be installed in a folder named ‘libraries’ inside the sketchbook folder (see the Preferences window).
The package “VLCJVideo” does not exist. You might be missing a library.”

i was wondering if i can include the jar files manually into the sketch but I have no Idea how.
Any help is greatly appreciated

One thing to try is to put the .jar file in a folder entitled ‘code’ inside of your sketch folder.
