Problem installing vlc in Centos 8
I tried to install vlc in my Centos 8 machine with the following specs:
Code:
Static hostname: localhost.localdomain Code:
sudo yum install vlc Code:
Last metadata expiration check: 1:09:41 ago on Tue 04 May 2021 11:55:46 AM EDT. Yes, I tried dnf too. Same thing happens. Yes, my rpmfusion and epel repos are installed. Has anyone else had to deal with this? In addition can anybody recommend a good video player besides vlc? Thank you for any help. |
Centos was never designed to be a multimedia distro.
VLC is the best but there are many out there. The media you want to run may decide the answer. https://pkgs.org/download/libfluidsynth.so.1()(64bit) https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-redhat.html Shouldn't you be installing vlc 3.x? |
Try the VLC package from Raven Testing instead. It depends on libfluidsynth.so.2()(64bit) which is currently provided by EPEL. The EPEL FluidSynth package was updated recently, but the RPM Fusion VLC package isn't yet rebuilt against the new FluidSynth. See bz#5983.
Your other (and IMO better) options are 1) to rebuild the RPM Fusion VLC SRPM package against FluidSynth 2.1.8 yourself, or 2) to wait until RPM Fusion devs do this. |
CentOS 8 has a EOL in 2021 so the support is not optimal for vlc? I am using vlc fine on CentOS 7 but no intention of switching to CentOS 8. (To be exact, I installed CentOS 8 and very soon mkfs.ext4 that partition).
