No problems to play any video... Interesting. My rpms are from fedora-multimedia, and I note that the names are slightly different (vlc-core and vlc-extras rather than vlc and vlc-core). Since I have RPMfusion (free and nonfree) enabled I'm guessing this is correct, as there doesn't seem to be a way to force dnf to use the RPMfusion one (other than disabling the official repos of course). Aside from that, if I run vlc with no arguments, it does start and I can then view a video. So it looks like there's a change of behaviour compared to the previous version where I could simply type 'vlc movie' and it would run. If that's intentional, then it's a feature and not a bug, but the error message(s) leave a *lot* to be desired. Maybe time for a BZ report. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
