The new Face to VLC Media Player 0.9.0git!

Labels: , , Posted by defcon on Wednesday, March 19, 2008 at 5:06 AM


VLC to me is the best player for Movies, Videos, DVD's, and DiVX! Well its time for everyone to upgrade vlc because there is Multiple vulnerabilities found allowing for the execution of arbitrary code and Denial of Service. But ya know? Im glade I had to upgrade lol, vlc added a whole new face a ton of bug fixes and a few new features :) I'll show you how to install VLC in Ubuntu and setup the Nightly build VideoLan VLC Repository, check it out:

How to Install or upgrade VLC Media Player for Ubuntu Hardy

For Ubuntu Hardy I386 add the following line to your sources.list, or add it to System->Administration->Software Sources:
deb http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/hardy-i386/arch ./

Then open up Synaptic and click "Reload", if you already have vlc installed click "Mark all Upgrades" Then click apply then ok. Or simply search for VLC if its not installed, check it and apply.


Want it to install it even easier? Click Here for a 1 click install within Firefox!
The 1-Click install only works after you have updated your repositories and you must use firefox

go into settings, you can specify exactly what media control keys you want, also go to system, preferences keyboard shortcuts to set them up :)

looks like some win3.11 media player from 1994, sorry but this interface is ridiculous in both looks and design.

I changed my sources, then installed both the VLC media player and the mozilla-plugin. The media player works great, but when I did a about :p lugins, no VLC was found. I then deleted the plugin.dat and a new plugin file was created, but still no mention of VLC in Firefox. Does the VLC mozilla-plugin work with Firefox 3.0?

I have the same question as Steve. How do I get the plugin to work with Firefox 3?

This repository doesn't work anymore. Now you can get the nightly builds for Ubuntu Intrepid only...

The new vlc looks like crap! Have they changed to use QT libraries? It takes so much vertical space, and the menus are noe all moved around. What a way to make the GUI worse...
