VLC player on aspire one - Revised

VLC is probably the best media player for Linux, if only for its support of all codecs and formats.

Previous versions of VLC were available through the livna repository, which was recently merged into the RPM Fusion repository. It is now the official VLC repository for Fedora as mentioned on their website.

But the latest version available for Fedora 8 is 0.8.7 and with Fedora 8 support ending in 4 weeks the 0.9 branch will not be included anymore. Fortunately the VLC maintainer provides 0.9.5 for Fedora 8 through a private repository. You can read more about it here.

Just add the repositories and install it via yum.

sudo rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh http://rpms.kwizart.net/kwizart-release-8.rpm

sudo yum install --enablerepo=kwizart-testing vlc vlc-core mozilla-vlc

If you're using Firefox 3 an additional step is required to get the browser plug-in working.

sudo ln -fs /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libvlcplugin.so /opt/firefox/plugins

And another one to put the icon on the desktop.

sudo sed s/%U// -i /usr/share/applications/livna-vlc.desktop
dca add 12 "file='/usr/share/applications/livna-vlc.desktop'"

You can then also remove the pre-installed media master and mplayer.

sudo yum remove pdvdlinux mplayer\*
sed /pcmmvp/d -i $HOME/.config/xfce4/desktop/group-app.xml

A reboot may be required for the changes to become effective.
