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](https://github.com/linux-man/VLCJVideo)
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.
