# yast -i lua-devel
- download the code
# wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/vlc/1.1.12/vlc-1.1.12.tar.xz
- extract it
# xz -d vlc-1.1.12.tar.xz # tar xvf vlc-1.1.12.tar
- compile it
# cd vlc-1.1.12/ # ./configure && make -j8 && make install
TroubleShooting
Can not open DVD
Symptom
If you get a message like
DVDRead could not open the disc "/dev/dvd".
Solution 1
Do the following as root
chmod 777 /dev/dvd /dev/sr0
Solution 2
Add the user you want to play DVDs with to the group cdrom (yes, for /dev/dvd). To do this, edit /etc/group. The group name may differ, to find out the correct one do a
ll /dev/dvd
or
ll /dev/sr0
