How to install VLC 1.1.3 in ubuntu 10.04
VLC media player is a media player, streamer, and encoder for Unix, Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, QNX, and PocketPC. It can play from many inputs like files, network streams, capture device, desktops, or DVD, SVCD, VCD, and audio CD. It can play most audio and video codecs (MPEG 1/2/4, H264, VC-1, DivX, WMV, Vorbis, AC3, AAC, etc.), but can also convert to different formats and/or send streams through the network.
What is new in VLC 1.1.3 version
A bit after the 1.1.2, we had to fix some important crashing bugs and you deserve a new release!
* Taglib crash (CVE-2010-2937 / VideoLAN-SA-1004)
* Fixes for FTP relative paths and directories
* Fixes for Podcast and DVD modules
* Extensions and scripts updates
* Miscellaneous fixes in interfaces
* Updated translations
* ... and many other crashes and errors fixed
Install VLC 1.1.3 in ubuntu 10.04
Open the terminal and run the following commands
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/vlc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc mozilla-plugin-vlc
If you already have 1.1.2 installed, just enable the repository and run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade.
Big Thanks
Thank you. C-korn ppa recently off down which I had used.
Thanks a lot for pointing to this repo.
thanks, but after doing this (repo added and vlc upgraded to 1.13), smplayer now crashes with following message error :
/usr/bin/mplayer: relocation error: /usr/bin/mplayer: symbol codec_wav_tags, version LIBAVFORMAT_52 not defined in file libavformat.so.52 with link time reference
any idea?

I have similar problem with mplayer after update. How can we fix it?
Maybe add mplayer from another repo, but which?
I have the same problem with mplayer.

thanks much
VLC 1.1.4 is available from the repository below.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/linuxfreedomlucid
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc mozilla-plugin-vlc
Have had no problems with mplayer using this version.
As usual I hope this helps someone.
This does INDEED help. Thank you! 🙂
ppa:ferramroberto/linuxfreedomlucid for VLC was last updated on 29th August for lucid, I suspect but don’t know that there will be no further updates of VLC from this repository. I am now running VLC 1.1.5 on maverick from ppa:ferramroberto/vlc this also works on lucid. So if you want the latest version add ppa below.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/vlc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc mozilla-plugin-vlc
As ever, hope it helps.
