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.

Buffy: No, but, see, Mom, that doesn't really work for me. We're just going to the magic shop, no school supplies there. Dawn: Yeah, Mom. I'm not going to Hogwarts. (chuckles) Hog- (looks at Buffy, who's not amused) Jeez, crack a book sometime. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Totem often seems to have problems, even in more up to date distributions such as Fedora and Ubuntu.
If that's the case, it's worth trying mplayer. By the way, priorities are explained on the CentOS wiki at
http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities
if you're not familiar with using them.
