As an alternative, you could try Fatdog (a relation of the Puppy breed ). My version has vlc. Distrowatch:

@ethplorer:-

Give this SFS package from OscarTalks a try...

http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks/vlc-2.1. ... ps-s14.sfs

It was compiled for Slacko, and is completely self-contained; no dependencies, needed libs, anything like that. It's worked in every Slacko I've tried it in.

If you need help with installing an SFS package, just ask; they're not so different to installing a .pet.

using this one slacko-6.9.6.4-uefi.iso - Slacko 700 BETA 2
already tried this http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks/vlc-2.1. ... ps-s14.sfs not working still

Here's one to try, that works in all of my slacko pups:

http://smokey01.com/rg66/X-slacko/sfs/v ... slacko.sfs

It's <42MB

Just copy the sfs to your /mnt/home partition, load it and see if it runs, if not try running it from the terminal and see what it indicates and post the info back here and someone may be able to help you.

01micko added a vlc-2.2.4 pet to the slacko 6.9.x repository yesterday too. I haven't tried it yet though, I've always just used/liked the gnome-mplayer that comes included with Slacko.
