VLC on F7?

[Karl Larsen]

I wanted to get VLC on this new F7 I have updated and got working 
very well. But on FC6 all I did was yum install vlc and it worked fine. 
But on F7 it gave up nothing to do. Is there a way to get it to look for 
it as if it is FC^?

To install VLC you will need to configure an additional yum repository such 
as:

http://rpm.livna.org/

or

http://freshrpms.net/

Just go here (http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/) and download and install
the rpm for your fedora version. This will install and enable the
livna repos for you.

And if you want packages from Freshrpms.

Go to:  http://moonshine.freshrpms.net

Next, click on "apt, yum, and others" (just below the logo)

There's no entry for F7, but click on the Fedora Core 6 one, as the layout of 
the URL's in /etc/yum.repos.d is such that your version of Fedora is checked 
in /etc/fedora-release, then the correct repo is accessed for your Fedora 
version.

Ok. Having clicked on Fedora Core 6. On the next page click on the 
"freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm" line.  If you're using Firefox a box 
will open asking what to do with the download. Click on install it. You'll be 
asked for your root password, then the package installer will open. Ok it and 
the package will be installed.

Look in /etc/yum.repos.d, and you will have a new file for freshrpms. open it, 
and it should look like this.

# $Id: freshrpms.repo 3341 2005-06-28 18:40:26Z thias $
[freshrpms]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Freshrpms
#baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpms/
mirrorlist=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/mirrors-freshrpms
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-freshrpms
gpgcheck=1

Ok. Close the editor, and firefox. Open a terminal, su to root, and do a yum 
install vlc . This will pull in a bunch of dependencies, (about 11).  Also do 
a yum install livdvdcss  if you need to play DVD's that need to be decrypted 
so as to play them.

Happy viewing.

Nigel.

btw. Keep in mind that some 3rd party repos don't always work well with one 
another, and it might be best not to have both Livna, and Freshrpms enabled.

Exactly right Garry, I got the rpm for F7 and installed it and now 
have the best movie showing software out there for Linux.

Hi Nigel I do need livdvdcss but when I try to do so yum fools 
around and says nothing to do. Could the name be wrong?

Hi Karl. At the freshrpms repo it's named libdvdcss, but on a Debian repo it's 
named libdvdcss2. I havn't looked on the Livna repo, but perhaps it's named 
libdvdcss2 there too. Or open Yumex, and have a look to see how it's named.

I don't use Yum, but Apt, and often use synaptic, Apts GUI, to look for 
packages, when I'm not sure how they're named.

Nigel.

You must use firefox and go to www.livna.org [1] or www.freshrpms.net.
[2]
> From those sites, you will find instructions about downloading the

yum.repos.d   file(s).

After doing that, yum will work as well as yumex.
