Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`String`	`discover()`	Attempt to discover the location of the libvlc native shared libraries.
`boolean`	`onFound(String path)`	Invoked when native shared libraries found.

`boolean`	`supported()`	Is this strategy supported?

- Method Detail
  - supported
```
boolean supported()
```
    Is this strategy supported?
    Some strategies may, for example, only be applicable to one particular operating system or another.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this strategy is supported; false otherwise
  - discover
```
String discover()
```
    Attempt to discover the location of the libvlc native shared libraries.
    
    Returns:
    
    path containing the shared libraries, or null if this strategy did not find them
  - onFound
```
boolean onFound(String path)
```
    Invoked when native shared libraries found.
    This serves two purposes: the first is to enable the strategy implementation to carry out bespoke work if needed; te second is to indicate whether or not the discovered path should be added to the JNA native library search path.
    
    Parameters:
    
    path - directory containing the shared libraries
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the path should be added to the JNA native search path; false if not
  - onSetPluginPath
```
boolean onSetPluginPath(String path)
```
    Invoked after discovery has completed and found the native shared libraries.
    This method will not be invoked if there is already a VLC_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable set.
    
    Parameters:
    
    path - directory containing the shared libraries
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the plugin path was set successfully; false on error
