    i don know how far this solves your problem,

    if it says there are some missing dependencies , when you choose to install, it also installs the dependencies by default , if there is failure of installing the dependency then it is a problem

    but the easy way to install vlc player is - first go to livna rpm website and install the yum repository rpm , next go to the official vlc website and see the download instructions, its simple, just have to type in terminal . install vlc xxxxx , and also install the plugin for your firefox, do this first and post any error messages that pops up in the terminal

    i downloaded the file http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
    then open it and this message: /home/viridis/Desktop/livna-release-8.rpm is already installed ,
    i typed in terminal yum install vlc

    [root@localhost ~]# yum install vlc

    Hi,

    I suggest you to remove the package that contain libx264.so.56

    As root you can:

    # updatedb
    # locate libx264.so.56
    /usr/lib/libx264.so.56
    # rpm -qf /usr/lib/libx264.so.56
    x264-0-0.10.20070819.lvn8
    # rpm -e x264-0-0.10.20070819.lvn8

    and then, finally

    # yum install vlc

    I do it like this:
    # updatedb
    # whereis libx264.so.56
    /usr/lib/libx264.so.55
    # yum remove libx264.so.55
    # yum install vlc

    Code:
    su -
    yum listrepo
    http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm <-- you will need that if you dont have livna repo listed
