Vlc
,version 1.1.0 + the more usefull at the begining
[http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ VLC] (VideoLAN Client) is a multimedia player. It plays a very wide range of audio and video and DVD.
VLC is packaged using the [[NSIS:_Nullsoft_Scriptable_Install_System]] which means you can use the standard ISIS switches to aid installation.
== Native method by TGellan ==
This install method evolved from the Advanced method by SkyBeam and the Alternative method without forking.

The package silently uninstalls a previous version (or the actual in case the wpkg.xml is not present) and then installs the 1.1.0 version. Afterwards a preconfigured vlcrc is copied to any user account. <BR>
Minor problem: New users on the PC will not get the vlcrc automatically, thus will still be presented with the question screen on first start.
