Describe the feature you'd like to see

Context

I came across this project SwiftVLC and wanted to surface it here for discussion.

It’s a Swift-native wrapper around libVLC 4, built with modern Swift features like async/await and SwiftUI in mind. It also appears to support Picture-in-Picture (PiP), which could be useful compared to VLCKit.

Discussion

Opening this to get input from people more familiar with this space:

• Is something like this viable long-term?
• What gaps does it currently have compared to VLCKit?
• Is it worth keeping an eye on as it matures?

Why this issue exists

Mainly to keep this on the radar. If the project evolves into something stable and production-ready, it might be worth revisiting in the future.

Having checked and looked through the project it looks quite promising. I'm not entirely against it, but at least atow the minimum of their Swift version and iOS version is a bit prohibitive for me to try it out in the project.
