VLC 2.0.1 on 6.2

Post by ruhtranayr » 2012/04/10 05:42:45

What would be the best way to install VLC 2.0.1 on centos 6.2? Should I try to build it from source?

I'm trying to stream videos/music over my lan from my headless centos server.
ive come really close with vlc and i think the errors i'm getting are due to VLC version 1.1.13
i can access the httpd interface from other devices on the lan and pause/play/ and change the time but i cant get sound or video to stream.
i opened up port 8081 for tcp and udp.

Heres the vlc errors:
$ cvlc --intf http --http-host adell:8081 /home/ryan/video/*.mp4
VLC media player 1.1.13 The Luggage (revision exported)

How do I get the latest version of vlc installed on centos? Maybe theres a repo I overlooked?

Thank you,

Welcome to the CentOS fora. Please see the recommended reading for new users linked in my signature.

The [url=https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=36688&forum=56&post_id=159146#forumpost159146]linuxtech-testing[/url] repo has 2.0.0-2.el6 and [url=http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories#line-51]ATrpms[/url] has 2.0.1-2.el6.

You don't say where you got the current version, but before proceeding, please read about [url=http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=14408&forum=47]Installing Software[/url] and [url=http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories]Repositories[/url], and note the warnings and advice about installing and configuring the [url=http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities]yum priorities plugin[/url]. Non-core repos should have a higher numeric value, which is a lower priority. Lower is "better" as in golf scores.
