Quote:I have not managed to get VLC working either it is installed and the codecs Arch says it needs, clicking its icon doesn't open the program, and right context menu choosing vlc on an mp3 doesnt play it, says it needs mp3 decoder, but that decoder needed on reading and trying to install is already installed.Although I have tried removing and reinstalling that.
I have managed to get mp3 to play from right context menu using Mplayer, but it has no GUI appearing to control it.
So the MP3 playing I need to find more on trying to solve.
I have seen a nice looking mp3 player, I want to try out at a later time.
You need to install these packages for vlc to work:
Quote:$ sudo pacman -S qt4 pulseaudio pulseaudio-alsa pavucontrolqt4 fro vlc GUI, pulseaudio and pulseaudio-alsa for sound and pavucontrol to manage system/apps volume. To start pulseaudio service type in the terminal
Code:
pulseaudio --start
