Due to vision and perception issues, I avoid sites over using

I didn't find anything at www.videolan.org (and linked pages).

I'm surprised you didn't find anything at the videolan site, since
The use of the word "anything" was a poor choice.
I was frustrated by how the documentation was "organized"(sic).
that seems to work tolerably well without javascript.
It does. I was indicating that a I surf with JavaScript disabled.
When enabled on a case-by-case basis it can be useful.
And the
application itself has a Help menu that can bring up various useful
documents.
Those links are aimed at casual/first-time user.
A more content oriented link is
https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Documentation/
There is a mailing list as listed at
https://www.videolan.org/support/lists.html Have you tried all those
sources?
Go to the history page and note that the general list was last used in
2015. Current support is via WEB fora at https://forum.videolan.org/ .
You don't say what particular problems you are encountering so it's
difficult to be of more help.

As I said in my original post, that though I've been a computer user for
more than a half-century, I've had no contact with media players.
I, and likely Mr. Cater for the Debian Community Team, would consider
newbie oriented _application_ questions to be OT on a *OS* support list.
I asked for referral to a suitable USENET group or mailing list because
they usually have searchable history files. Useful for a newbie's education.
