I feel like there is an easy answer for this ..... HOW DO U SAVE YOUR PLAYLIST ? Has anyone figured it out yet? When I hit the save playlist button it comes up to search for a M3U file, doesn't let you put a filename or nothing so ..... ANYONE?!?!?!?!?!?! and anyone that wants new VLC skins go to [Please register to see this link. ]

VLC plays my mp3z just fine. I can't seem to get it to play any type of video files. Am I missing some type of rendering/codec or something? Any ideas on how to fix this?

OPEN UP THE KONSOLE .... LOGIN AS ROOT BY COMMAND su or su -p THEN USE THE COMMAND mv to move the repos to the desktop so that you can edit them properly, i believe the repos are in /etc/yum.repos.d/ find each file move each one to desktop using konsole then edit each one properly, and yes i know how time consuming this is TRUST ME but it works.....

hi.

I just wanna say thanks for the tutorial it was great and i have finally have vlc but im having a problem. how the hell do u actually open movie files?!. I have saved some to memory stick which ydl is not seeing and when i go to 'open' i cant access the ps3 disc drive. on the memory stick is an avi file which i thought ydl could see. i am logged in as root so im kinda confused. can anyone tell me how to get the actuall program to work and watch files. sorry and thanks!

EDIT: I just checked the audio and video tabs in the program and they are empty?! im guessing thats not right. am i missing something?

You MUST be missing some dependencies, MAKE SURE that you are installing you dependdencies under the GNOME environment..... check and make sure you have ALL the dependencies installed from the tutorial.....

noob question but what is the gnome environment and how do i install my dependencies through the gnome environment? sorry and thanks!

EDIT: ah now i just found the gnome terminal but how do u install dependencies through it? i followed the tutorial and double clicked the rpm files to install them. i have no idea how to do this through gnome. any hints?

EDIT 2: i double clicked on the rpm files again to make sure and it says that the package is already installed if that helps. so it must be somewhere, its just that vlc is not seeing it i guess. hope that helps
