## Overview

VLC for Web is a small browser-based video player. The user selects a local video, which the Video component loads into an HTML video element; Controls then play, pause, seek, and display playback time. AppContext shares the player element reference between those components, while formatTime formats the displayed time. The README only names the product, so capabilities beyond the sampled implementation are not inferred.

Main entry points: [`src/components/Video.tsx`](https://github.com/umar-farooq-5757/vlc-for-web/blob/main/src/components/Video.tsx) (Video picker and player), [`src/App.tsx`](https://github.com/umar-farooq-5757/vlc-for-web/blob/main/src/App.tsx) (App shell), [`src/components/Controls.tsx`](https://github.com/umar-farooq-5757/vlc-for-web/blob/main/src/components/Controls.tsx) (Playback controls), [`src/context/AppContext.tsx`](https://github.com/umar-farooq-5757/vlc-for-web/blob/main/src/context/AppContext.tsx) (Shared player state)
