Hi All,
I've had centos 7 for a couple years now. One thing that I've NEVER been able to do is install any player. Always fails in the install
(example is vlc, but all of the others I've tried, -same, same) :
yum install vlc
or desperately:
yum install vlc --nogpgcheck
yum install vlc smplayer --nogpgcheck
I get this kind of message:

-And... no working vlc, of course.
Any help for this noob much appreciated. -Definitely don't want to wreck this machine as is, of course, trying to flail around...
At the moment, any movie (like software help files), I can load these local files into chrome and watch, but that's pretty crap!
Thanks!!

Re: installing media player on centos 7
What is this repo "okay" that clearly is not okay?
I would:
The RPM Fusion packages tend to require something from EPEL.
I would:
Code: Select all
yum-config-manager --disable okay
yum --enablerepo=* clean all
yum-config-manager --enable rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
yum install epel-release
yum install vlc
Re: installing media player on centos 7
Hi
Thanks for your quick response. Noob question:
-Would there be any issue in the future with other "yum" runs for other apps? -So far, it's just been these media programs that won't install, other stuff runs through easily, so I don't want to break anything here! (By, say, diabling "okay", whatever that is
Thanks!

Re: installing media player on centos 7
Yum reads from /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo definitions of repositories.
Definition tells where (URL) the files of repository are and some other options.
The yum-config-manager --disable okay changes "enabled" option to off; yum will not use disabled repo.
The yum-config-manager --enable okay changes "enabled" option to on; yum will use enabled repo.
Yum can install and update only the packages that it sees. Only the packages that are in enabled repos.
See yum repolist and yum repolist all
The "okay", "epel", and "rpmfusion*" are third party repos.
They might have packages (for same thing) that are conflicting.
(The epel is designed to not conflict with base CentOS repos.)

Thanks!
You've cleared up a lot of old confusion.
I've gone at it like you've suggested, and vlc is installed and working.
Many thanks!
