Windows Process Description:

The file libipv4_plugin.dll is a component of the VLC Media Player created by VideoLAN. Along with libipv6_plugin.dll, libipv4_plugin.dll is responsible with the program's compatibility with Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) processes, during network accessing of files for playback by the main program. Its counterpart, libipv6_plugin.dll, is responsible with the other version of the Internet Protocol, which is version 6, otherwise known as IPv6. This file, therefore, is very much related to the use of the network.

During the playback of videos from resources over the network, libipv4_plugin.dll is used whenever the need for a 32-bit addressing system is required. This is usually the case between Windows Operating Systems prior to Windows Vista. This library file allows proper data processing, transferring, and output with the streaming function of its housing program, VLC player. Network protocols with the 128-bit method, which is employed by Windows Vista, is handled by libipv6_plugin.dll

With a file size of only 12,288 bytes, the module libipv4_plugin.dll consumes a very small amount of system memory, approximately 12Kb. Still, this particular file handles one of the most important tasks in video playback over network sources.

The nature of this library file is quite unique since it acts as a plug-in, making it easier to maintain the housing program's development for compatibility issues if ever it does encounter one. This makes libipv4_plugin.dll easier to modify as well since it has a separate code specifically designed for its purpose and not integrated with the main housing program code.

The current version for libipv4_plugin.dll is 1.0.0.0 and there are no other versions created as documented. The same version of the said library file is still being used with the different versions of the VLC Player.

The housing program is a multi operating system platform compatible application, being able to run properly in Windows, Linux, Mac, and the like. It is still currently a freeware program, which makes it a very handy application as a substitute to the most common video and audio players.
