Manual Package Download
Go to OBS Project
i586 vlc-1.1.6.99-1.11.i586.rpm
src vlc-1.1.6.99-1.11.src.rpm
x86_64 vlc-1.1.6.99-1.11.x86_64.rpm

if i like to keep the setup(rpm) of the software which i should chose the above?

if you want source code dl the src rpm then compile it to make an executable.
if you have a 64bit version of OpenSUSE download the x86_64 rpm to install a pre-built executable
if you have a 32bit version of OpenSUSE download the i586 rpm to intstall a pre-built executable

All the answers of the search are for RPMs.

unless you KNOW what you are doing it is very risky to install anything
from anywhere with these words: Unstable, Factory, Playground or
Tumbleweed…

i HIGHLY recommend you have only these four repos enabled: oss, non-oss,
update and packman…and, then use YaST Software Management to search
for and install VLC, and all your other needs…

sure, you can add a lot of other repos, but that will often lead to
conflict needing resolution which a new to openSUSE user will have
difficulty with…

suggestion: read the paragraph here which begins with “IMPORTANT”,

But as DenverD says, the RPM on Packman is imho far saver to download then on from a Playground one.

Poke around in your Packman mirror. E.g. I found http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.4/Essentials/i586/vlc-1.1.9-4.pm.9.1.i586.rpm

i think he wants to dl all the dependencies for vlc AND vlc so he can distribute vlc to other pc’s without dl’ing over and over again.

@ed_v

i think he wants to dl all the dependencies for vlc AND vlc so he can distribute vlc to other pc’s without dl’ing over and over again.

That is what I understand, but it is still better to do that from Packman then from Playground/Unstable.
