Hello there, I am writing to you about an issue I encountered while using your mod. I am a MacBook Pro user. My system uses the M1 Chip and my current OS version is 13.something. Upon trying to load the VideoPlayer mod, I ran into a screen that said "Failed to load VLC" followed by instructions to contact you. I tried installing the VLC player manually onto my device, but got this error message:

[11:03:12] [modloading-worker-0/ERROR] [watermedia/VideoLAN]: ########################### VLC NOT PRE-INSTALLED ###################################
[11:03:12] [modloading-worker-0/ERROR] [watermedia/VideoLAN]: WATERMeDIA doesn't include VLC binaries for your operative system / system architecture
[11:03:12] [modloading-worker-0/ERROR] [watermedia/VideoLAN]: You had to install VLC manually on https://www.videolan.org/ - More info ask to SrRapero720
[11:03:12] [modloading-worker-0/ERROR] [watermedia/VideoLAN]: ########################### VLC NOT PRE-INSTALLED ###################################

I read a bit more on the mod page and it mentioned something about ARM not being able to get support, so is this just the end of the road for me? If so, totally understandable, I will just let the server mods know I can't watch videos in game.

I have 0 plans to add iMac support on WaterMedia. that's it. To give it support i need have one (and that wouldn't happen)
That log says VLC for your OS is not pre-installed. Windows x64 users doesn't need to download VLC manually, but mac and linux does

In your case, you have to manually download VLC from videolan.org choosing MacOs (Apple Siicon)

EXTRA: if you want to give support you can make a PR adding all VLC binaries + screenshots of watermedia working on it
