Sure. I don't remember exactly what prevented me to install VLC but I do remember I felt like a dumb when I realized why it was not working. Just try this first and report here the error you have, if any (but it may just install correctly), perhaps it will help me to remember.

Don't expect VLC to be very useable though. I find it less choppy than KMplayer, but when you're in fullscreen, I think you're stuck in it with no possibility to pause or return in windowed-glitchy-mode (unless you have a N950 with keyboards to use shortcuts).
