| - | One of the most popular video players on all platforms is the videolan player, | ||
| - | also known as vlc. It truly plays almost everything that can be played, and | ||
| - | also captures and streams video from various sources. It is not included in the | ||
| - | default install of Slackware, but it is easy to install. | ||
| - | |||
| - | A longtime Slackware contributor and supporter, AlienBOB, maintains updated | ||
| - | builds of vlc at http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien/restricted_slackbuilds/ | ||
| - | vlc. He offers a SlackBuild for it, but also downloadable pre-built Slackware | ||
| - | packages (one for people who limit themselves to USA patent laws, one for the | ||
| - | rest of us) that can be installed with installpkg. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Even with a pre-made SlackBuild, building vlc is no small task, so it's a lot | ||
| - | easier to just grab the vlc package and install it pre-built. | ||
