how to download the files????

how to download the files????

If you would like to download with N900 you must tap and hold your finger/stylus on each link (file) to get popup menu, then just select "Save link as".

how do you install any tut?

i have download all

vlc_1.1.5-1_armel.deb
vlc-player_1.1.5-1_armel.deb
vlc-player-nox_1.1.5-1_armel.deb
vlc-nox_1.1.5-1_armel.deb
python-xcbgen_1.2-1_all.deb
libvlc5_1.1.5-1_armel.deb
libvlc5-dbg_1.1.5-1_armel.deb
libvlc-dev_1.1.5-1_armel.deb

how do you install this using the "dpkg"

Open X-Terminal and go with "cd" command to the location of dowloaded files, then execute already mentioned "dpkg" command.

do i need to install all?

yes need to install all
download the files and copy them to to n900 data folder
open xerminla
sudo gainroot
cd MyDocs
dpkg -i vlc_1.1.5-1_armel.deb

and install all files like this way

AFAIK you must install all files which contains word "vlc" in its name. That means all files except one (python-xcbgen_1.2-1_all.deb). So, if you run dpkg -i *vlc*.deb it will do the job for all files at once.

Here is link to the site ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) where these files were built.

Works great Thanks :)

Noticed that the audio seems to work fine if the phone is not set to silent (or similar).

Wonder if one can change specific settings / create playlists etc. in later builds.

The Application Library ALWAYS fails to Refresh.

Hi, VLC repo is not being loaded after added and the app does not install even though i tried to install manually and auto...plz help...i have a couple of movies which i want to see badly..PLEEEAAAASSSEEE

hmm..the stock media player with codec does play a lot of format for me..and i use SiB for some unplayable format..or you guys can use kmplayer..cheers..

Works like a charm. Thanks buddy.
Couldn't get the icon to work or update to the newer version, but hey, if it's not broke why try and fix it eh.
For the people with the no sound problem, just take your n900 off silent.

km player is best for using and it's offer to full screen moad video showing.....
