media player acer aspire one

Just downloaded some podcast from sf.tv.
These files come with an .m4v extension, so actually they are .mp4 files.
The Acer Aspire One won't play them out of the box, but it's easy to set it up.

open a terminal and type the following:

sudo rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
sudo yum install vlc


if this doesn't work out, do the following:

sudo yum install fedora-release
sudo yum install vlc


you probably want to install it also for Firefox, so type:

yum install python-vlc mozilla-vlc


done!
:-)
