I'm in yum dependency hell using epel, rpmforge and rpmfusion repos to install vlc on 32 bit Centos 5.5. Anyone have a better idea? Doesn't really have to be vlc I just want to be able to play a dvd and Movie Player complains about missing plugins without saying what they are.

Is movieplayer mplayer? If not, that's what I'd suggest, it's always handled everything I've thrown at it--I install it from rpmforge.

I also have rpmforge's vlc, (and rpm -qR |wc -l shows 140 dependencies), compared to mplayer's 84.

I would strongly recommend using priorities.

If you give a sample of the sort of dependency error you're getting, someone might be better able to help.
