Error installing VLC in YDL6 on PS3

I've been following this guide here
http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-t...1-101664.shtml

I followed all the steps to the letter (I think :o) I get all the way to the end and when I type the command

Quote:

yum install vlc

I end up with the message

Quote:

9 packages excluded due to repository protections Nothing to do

Sorry for being such a noob, but I have no idea what that means. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks in advance!

Ok, so 33 people have looked at this, but no one can help me out???

I'd love to help you Masta, I'm even a fellow Canuk, but I don't much about yum-based systems. Doesn't yum give you any more information to work with than what you posted?
Personally, I prefer to compile vlc myself from sources and I would happy to help you if you want to try that.

Otherwise try and post whatever info you have regarding the failure to install the vlc package. I assume you're using a cli and not a gui, right?
cheers,
