(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

and popup window:
Your input can't be opened:

but they still play. I guess one of the two .pls redirects is not always
responding? This is new.
