Hello!
I wanted to install VLC version 2 on my openSUSE 12.1 Gnome 32-bit. The main reason I didn’t like the previous version is that it failed to disable the screensaver, so every 10 minutes I had to move the mouse. I used the official VLC repo, which resulted as expected in terrific dependency spaghetti. My question is: if VLC 2 is planned to be released in Packman, and if yes, when?
Thank you!
Why not ask the people at packman directly?

Good idea, I’ll report what they have said.

Thanks, I think several vlc users will be interested in the answer.

Work in progress.
I don’t normally mix rpm’s from the packman and the vlc repos but the vlc repo has vlc 2:-
Index of /pub/videolan/vlc/SuSE/12.1/
I have just installed vlc 2 (from the vlc repo - leaving the other existing multimedia rpm’s from packman installed) and it works fine. Looks good too.

Hello!
Packman team wrote me, that some-when in the weekend VLC 2 is going to be in the repo. The official VLC repo results in dependency conflicts (libvlccore5, libvlc5 - i had to lock these two, because an update to 2.1.0-20120319202.1 would break the player itself), nevertheless the player is working fine. We are waiting.
I use that repo since version 2 came out and works without any problems.
it’s in today’s Packman, there’s a phonon-backend-vlc dependency that pops up but I just ignored it and 2.0 not only seems to work fine it opens without the long delay experienced in the previous version
No more watching TV with VLC 2, it does no longer play DVB-S/S2 channels. It’s not openSuse specific. Same problems reported in other distributions as well.
The Packman guys are on it! check here:
[packman] vlc 2.0](http://lists.links2linux.de/pipermail/packman/2012-April/010859.html)
As of today that conflict seems to have been resolved. Selecting VLC for upgrade from Packman pulls in an updated phonon-backend-vlc without complaining.
