You need to install these files
libvlc5_1.1.0~git5935-1_armel.deb vlc-nox_1.1.0~git5935-1_armel.deb
vlc-player-nox_1.1.0~git5935-1_armel.deb
vlc-player_1.1.0~git5935-1_armel.deb

There all .debs so just download them to the n900. Default is /home/user/MyDocs

Then run
Code:
dpkg -i /path to file/filename.deb
You will have to do this in order the lib first then vlc-nox, player-nox, player.

When you have Vlc installed simply run

vlc /path to file

ie
vlc /home/user/MyDocs/test.avi

If you are feeling really adventurous you could try dbus-switchboard that qole is developing to handle certain files by vlc automatically.

All usual warnings apply for using Alpha software. It can/will be buggy and very hard to uninstall.
Says there are major issues and wait for final release!

Greetings.
This doesn't seem to work!

Anyone know when a stable version will be released?
