(Actually the upgrade was a bit more complicated, replacing vlc-core with vlc-cli and adding a bunch of plugins.) Is there some advantage here? I don't want to lose the ability to playback weird / proprietary stuff, which is (I assume) why I needed to use vlc from rpmfusion. Also is there a web page that discusses this stuff? Google search is so full of "install vlc for fedora" spam sites that it's really hard to find anything relevant. Rich.
First thing I noticed is that my vlc panels started failing because the --http-proxy option was removed. Also some links show a message, e.g.: $ /bin/vlc http://www.abc.net.au/res/streaming/audio/mp3/abc_jazz.pls VLC media player 3.0.20 Vetinari (revision 3.0.20-0-g6f0d0ab126b) [000055fb8f6fd400] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface.

Check the log for details. but they still play. I guess one of the two .pls redirects is not always responding?
