What is a VPL file?

VPL files mostly belong to VLC Media Player. VPL files serve different roles based on the application that created them.
Most commonly, a VPL file is a video playlist file used with VLC Media Player. It stores links and play instructions for video content without embedding the media itself.
Other uses include:

An XML-based Variant Packing List used within Nokia Suite (Nokia support).

A ViPlan 3D project file that uses the Microsoft Compound format.

A Windows executable file associated with Visual Pinball – sometimes noted as a VeraCrypt Encrypted Volume (VP Forums).
