Flatpack list shows the application. however I cannot uninstall it using Gnome-software, It is not listed as installed The version I installed is under registry.fedoraproject.org, it also refuses to install again. I have also tried sudo dnf remove VLC.
I have been having issues with VLC using too much CPU and wanted to try differnet versions after the issues persisted after installing packages under RPM Fusion
please show us
flatpak list
In case you want to remove the rpm version of vlc, the correct command is:
sudo dnf remove vlc #linux is case sensitive and the package is called vlc
Do you still have the Fedora Flatpak registry enabled in GNOME Software?
not sure what that means i installed Fedora last month
I copied the VLC line under flatpack list
vlc org.videolan.vlc stable fedora system
In the “Software Repositories” settings in GNOME Software, which repos are enabled under “Apps (Flatpak)”?
have you installed the appropriate codecs?
fedora does not come with all that are necessary.
try running this script I have created that installs missing codects,
probably your VLC should be fine after that.
you can install right away with this command:
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/supertico/fedora-open264-geoblock-fix/main/fedora-cisco-403-mitigation.sh | sudo bash
or get more info about the script:
flatpak uninstall org.videolan.vlc in the terminal should remove it.
But it does seem weird that you can’t do so from GNOME Software.
that worked
can I also ask which version of VLC should I know install?
both must work fine if you have right codecs.
they are identical in terms of features.
if you run the script (see above) it will also install vlc with dnf.
Are you sure that you really want VLC? I have found it a bit buggy at times so instead I use things like Parole Media Player or Strawberry. Your results may vary…
are those two better than vlc?
1.) enable rpmfusion (free and non free), following guide here: Making sure you're not a bot!
2.) run
sudo dnf install vlc
From a gnome terminal, this will install VLC and the majority of codecs required.
For me maybe. I mean if something can do the same thing as the other then why not just change if having issues with one of them. Easy enought to install and try out and if you don’t like it you can always just remove it.
And the third one from flathub has more codecs builtin.
