Hi everybody
today i download VLC player from official website for 64 bit to install in my laptop
before installing i checked the digital signature and that is ok
but when i compared the hash it was different (both has files SHA1/SHA256) which i downloaded from the official website
the result for hash for each type is different when i used Hash my files as in the screen shot:

is there something wrong in my analysis or the installer is modified :unsure: :unsure: ??

You need to download the .sha1 or .sha256 file and add a .txt extension to it so you can open it as a text file. That will give you the actual hash for the VLC .exe. (I don't know if there's an easier way to do it with the .sha files.)
But I was importing this files with another programs in hash my files and had the same hash
