I've spent a long time installing VLC prerequisites onto YDL (ffmpeg, SDL, libMad, etc) so I was glad to hear there's a simpler solution out there. Which YUM REPO did you use for vlc? I've configured Livna, FreshRPMs and something which I've called Fedora-Extras (but I think it's really just the standard Fedora 5 Updates).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445284667244737222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139235495768531620.post-76210955540581194512007-01-17T01:39:00.000-05:002007-01-17T01:39:00.000-05:00just got my ps3.

Look for the Session option when loging in at boot up. GNOME seems to run VLC well and VLC seems to play DIVX and XVID and MP3 with no problems.<br /><br />good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
