VLC Won't Install

Mon Jan 26, 2015 7:54 pm

Hello,
I recently reinstalled NOOBS on my Raspberry Pi B+. I decided to install VLC media player, and I used the 'sudo apt-get install vlc' command in the LX terminal. After trying to install, it said that it is missing some packages and needs to be updated. I have tried to find the application, but to no avail. I am running Raspbian version 3.12.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Always do

Code: Select all

 sudo apt-get update
before attempting to install anything.
Unless specified otherwise my response is based on the latest and fully updated RPiOS Buster w/ Desktop OS.
