Where can I find source code of VLC media player or any other media player for studying purpose?

I'm about to delve deep into more pragmatic usage of C++, so I'm looking for any popular app's source code for learning purpose.

They're open source, and when you visit their home page (https://www.videolan.org/), the official Sources link is included in their Downloads. If you practice "trying the vendor" for others, you may find some pleasant surprises. For example, if you navigate this path, you'll find out they have a Developer's website, wiki, forums, mailing lists and IRC.

Fahad Ahmad interesting find; the more prominent links on VideoLAN's site mostly lead to FTP and (in the wiki) git instructions: https://wiki.videolan.org/Git -- but not apparently to that repository.
