VLC is a free and open-source multimedia player. it works on major operating systems. A few days ago we have seen VLC 2.0 changes highlights in this post and installation instructions for Ubuntu users. Now, VLC 2.0 is available to install on Fedora 16 Verne using Remi repository.
Check VLC 2.0 Twoflower release notes.
First you will need to add Remi repository for Fedora 16 Verne.
su
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-release-16.rpm
yum --enablerepo=remi-test
yum install vlc
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-release-16.rpm
yum --enablerepo=remi-test
yum install vlc

Hi!. I use Fedora 16 64bit and I have followed your steps I get the 1.13 version, ¿Is it working for 64b?
thanks!

Yes, this works for 64 and 32 bit system. Check the “Software Sources”, you will find it beneath “system” drop down menu in the “add/remove software”. Make sure you have checked the box for remi repository to be able to use it.
or, you enable the repository using this command
yum –enablerepo=remi-test
“post has been updated with enable instruction for Remi repository.”
Please tell me how it goes with you!
mhnassif.
Yes it works!..
thank you very much!

I am glad it worked fine for you.
You are welcome!
that is not remi but remi-test. at least for now Thu Mar 1 2012, 17:09CET. thanks for the hint!
Yes, I forgot that I installed it using Remi-test repository. You are welcome.
Hmm, for me it says
“Error getting repository data for remi-test, repository not found”.
Maybe because im on Fedora15?
Yes, This repository for Fedora 16 only. Unfortunately Remi repository for Fedora 15 is not updated yet.
vlc 2 is only available for 64b at remi repository, not for 32b
It’s available for 32bit and 64bit check the vlc package here for further information http://rpms.famillecollet.com/fedora/16/test/x86_64/repoview/vlc.html
It is in 64bits repository

but not in 32bits

x86 works on the most of 32bit systems. You can use the package on “x86_64″ repository for 32bit or 64bit system. It will work out just fine.
“x86 works on the most of 32bit systems. You can use the package on “x86_64″ repository for 32bit…”
Not sure about that, i think you can use 32b software on x86_64 but not x86_64 on i386 systems.
any way i tried and it don’t works for me.
FC16 X64_64:
use:
sudo rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-release-16.rpm
sudo yum install vlc –enablerepo=remi-test
This did not work for me, since i got installed VLC 1 instead :/
Confirmed as ineffective for i686/i386,
http://rpms.famillecollet.com/fedora/16/test/x86_64/repoview/vlc.html
The entire “multimedia” section is missing from the i386 repos.
The comment by the author of the article is a little asinine; of *course* a compiled native 64-bit binary will not work for a 32-bit system, and the provided x86_64 packages are not i386. Please don’t simply install a 64-bit RPM in the hopes of getting this working.
I run PAE on my home machine since it’s been updated since FC4, unfortunately, and this method doesn’t work. I’ll be sure to update if I track down a F16 repo enabling VLC2. At least when I compiled this from source, the ffmpeg requirements were exceeding that of Rawhide’s standard repos; perhaps the dependency resolution wasn’t worth managing (or is not yet) for the i686 tree.
