Re: please help me to install vlc....
 

Use "apt-get" instead - it will take care of the dependencies.

i.e.:
# apt-get install vlc

Re: please help me to install vlc....
 

dpkg is for packages that already reside on your local file system. It can't resolve any dependencies, that's why your first attempt failed.
apt-get will resolve all dependencies and download the required packages. It will actually call dpkg somewhere during the installation process. apt-get, however, requires the name of the package your going to install as a parameter, not the name of a file. That's why your second attempt also failed.

Re: please help me to install vlc....
 

Add qole's directory which contains the VLC deb files.
Then use apt-get install vlc to install it.
Catalogue Name: Qole
Web address: http://qole.org/repository
Distribution: maemo
Components: fremantle
VLC doesn't have a UI atm, so it's command-line only for now.

Re: please help me to install vlc....
 

sory but i dont undesrtan woh to ''add qole's directory"

are there is anothre way to install vnc?

Re: please help me to install vlc....
 

May I suggest instead of trying to install VLC to play your file, try using tablet-encode to re-encode your files for the N900. It'll probably save you a lot of headache.

Re: please help me to install vlc....
 

n900 is a mini compute for me.
convert files take some time and not usefull for streeming video....

i alredy install the extra decoder but steel all streming asf.wmv.wma not working . on my old n95 they all work fine. i prefer to solve this by install media player plugin for firefox but cant find maemo version

here example

Re: please help me to install vlc....
 

To add qole's repository, go the the app manager, click up on the name to bring up the menu, application catalogues, new, and then fill in the info above.

Re: please help me to install vlc....
 

Question guys, which would you say is more efficient (plays videos smoother) on the N900? Mplayer or VLC?

Also, is VLC optified?

Re: please help me to install vlc....
 

ok. i secsessed to add qole catalog , but steel i get "canot fine package" erorr.
do i need to put the vlc.deb in ather location?

Re: please help me to install vlc....
 

Just use MPlayer, VLC doesn't even have a GUI and it sucks anyway. MPlayer has multiple frontends such as KMPlayer or SiB.

Re: please help me to install vlc....
 

I tried VLC a little while back. The GUI was a mess and it still didnt play any of the video's I wanted to watch. Couple weeks later I went through the headach of uninstalling it.

If you find that you dont like VLC you can probably find some of my old posts where the community was awesome enough to help me uninstall it. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=41349

Re: please help me to install vlc....

Re: please help me to install vlc....
 

Download KMPlayer, it played the stream nicely. Just paste the URL into the link bar and then wait for it to buffer.

alternatively type in the x terminal.

Re: please help me to install vlc....
 

thanks , but many of my Favorites site are blocked from edit or see the direct streeming... they have a standalone video player like this

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gdebi-core: Depends: python-apt (>= 0.7.0) but it is not installable
Depends: python-debian but it is not installable
vlc: Depends: vlc-player (= 1.1.0~git-3049-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: vlc-nox (= 1.1.0~git-3049-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Re: please help me to install vlc....
 

Why are you installing gdebi?
Type apt-get -f install and post the output before confirming here.

Re: please help me to install vlc....
