So from my perspective the vlc package you had problems with works fine
on my system.
The packages I have installed are:
bash-4.4$ rpm -qa vlc*
vlc-core-3.0.0-25.20180109git0c462fc.fc27.x86_64
vlc-3.0.0-25.20180109git0c462fc.fc27.x86_64
When using Negativo17 I never had a package called vlc, just vlc-core
and vlc-extras. The /usr/bin/vlc binary came from vlc-core. On
switching to RPMfusion I now have a package called vlc. So I wonder if
your installation is in fact from Negativo17.
I am definitely using the negativo17 packages. As a test I uninstalled
the vlc and vlc-core packages via yumex, and issued the vlc command in a
shell which told me it couldn't be found. I then went back into Yumex
and did a search for vlc, in the list of packages returned it said that
the vlc, vlc-core and vlc-extras package were from fedora-multimedia
which is negativo17, it did not provide me with any reference to vlc in
rpmfusion. I then installed vlc, vlc-core and vlc-extras (I didn't have
this one previously), ran vlc from the shell, and it work as I
documented previously. I have also checked on the negativo17 physical
repository and negativo17 does actually provide packages vlc, vlc-core
and vlc-extras. Looking at the file list from vlc and vlc-core, the vlc
package may not need to be installed. The vcl package provides files in
/usr/bin of qvlc and svlc, where the vlc-core package provides files in
/usr/bin of cvlc, nvlc, rvlc, vlc and vlc-wrapper. I haven't yet tried
the vlc functionality after uninstalling all 3 packages and just
installing vlc-core and vlc-extras.
I've also checked the physical rpmfusion repository and their free
repository also has packages vlc, vlc-core and vlc-extras, but they are
named differently to the negativo17 ones so there is no confusion as to
which is which. What I don't know yet is why a vlc search in Yumex
doesn't show me the rpmfusion ones?
I don't use yumex, but dnfdragora displays them--provided the
rpmfusion-free and rpmfusion-free-update repos are enabled.
Particularly given that dnf info vlc
tells me the installed vlc package is from fedora-multimedia and there
is a vlc package available from rpmfusion-free-updates and there is a
source package available from fedora-multimedia-source, which is what
dnf told before I did the uninstall and re-install.
My packages (as of this morning, using rpmfusion-*):
[root@golem4 ~]# dnf list vlc*

This output surprises me. The rpmfusion repositories are enabled, but
Yumex does not show the rpmfusion vlc versions as being installed even
after using it to uninstall the fedora-multimedia versions. If I issue
command vlc in a shell it runs the fedora-multimedia application. If I
use Yumex to uninstall vlc and vlc-core, then issue the command vlc in a
shell, it tells me the command doesn't exist. If I then use Yumex to
install the fedora-multimedia versions again, I can run the command from
the shell again. My bad, I've just looked at the output again and
realized it's not telling me that vlc.i686 is installed, it's just
telling me its available. I don't understand why the output is saying
vlc-extras was @system installed when all 3 of those vlc packages were
installed at the same time via Yumex.
