Step 0: Download and launch the installer
Download the installer package from the VLC download page for Windows. After you download the installer package, double click on the file to begin the install process.

Click Yes to continue the installation process.
Step 1: Select an installer language
Before you can continue, you must select the language that you want the installer to use to display information to you. After you select a language, click OK.

A standard install without libdvdcss:
Or search for vlc with the graphical package manager you like best. It should be in the main Debian repository in the section Video software. Additional plugins are available and most require manual selection, e.g. vlc-plugin-access-extra, vlc-plugin-notify and vlc-plugin-jack.
For a standard install with libdvdcss:
A simple install of the libdvdcss package can be found here: https://download.videolan.org/debian/stable/, but for future bug fixes add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

Adapted (annotated) from https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-redhat.html:
Red Hat/CentOS/Scientific Linux have almost the same setups (they're all derived from Red Hat). Red Hat and derivatives have different instructions if EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) is not set up. Red Hat Network (RHN) users should verify that they have enabled the optionals and extras channels for RHN subscriptions.
If you want to have DVD playback ability, you will need to install the libdvdcss package too (source).
For the latest version (up to the now-current version 3.0.6) use RPM Fusion, otherwise VLC branches 2.0.x and 2.2.x are available:Red Hat/CentOS/Scientific Linux 7: (vlc-2.2.x – branch available for x86_64 architectures)

Kodi does a great job of playing audio and video. However, if you prefer VLC Media Player, the good news is you can use that to watch all (or just some) of your Kodi content.
The process of redirecting playback is very straightforward, and once set up you can choose which player to use on a per-case basis. This gives you the best of both worlds. You can use Kodi to choose what to play, and then benefit from all the features that VLC offers, including all of its effects and filters.
SEE ALSO:How to install add-ons and watch any movie or TV show on Kodi
To start, you will firstly need to download the playercorefactory.xml script from here. Copy this into the Kodi folder at %APPDATA%kodiuserdata.
It's possible you will need to change the path inside the script. To check this, open the playercorefactory.xml file in Windows Notepad. The VLC.exe is probably listed as being in C:Program FilesVideoLANVLC. If the program is actually installed in C:Program Files (x86)VideoLANVLC, you'll need to change the path in the script to that.
Save the file and open Kodi. Launch your favorite streaming add-on, and find a stream to watch.
Right-click it, choose 'Play using…' from the menu, and then select VLC. Your stream will open in the external media player and you can start watching.
I've found it occasionally opens minimized in the system tray, but if so you can maximize it from there.
If you intend to use Kodi with add-ons to stream potentially illegal content, you may wish to consider a VPN.
