When i got an update vlc just upgraded to version 2.0, but there was a problem i like using the vlc skins that is make vlc look like a pro. But unexpectedly this arch update doesn’t support it. I don’t know what is the developer reason to compile VLC 2.0 without skin support, but that’s doesn’t matter now.
It’s solved man! The thing that do you need is recompile the VLC, here are some steps :
1. Download the source here
2. Extract the pack
3. Direct your terminal to the VLC extract folder
4. Use this to configure ./configure –enable-skins2 –enable-libtar then press return
5. Because the other option had been set by default by vlc itself, and we just need the skins2 to enabled.
6. type make then press return
7. If you already had vlc installation please remove it #pacman -R vlc
8. Back to your terminal and type sudo make install then press return
thanks to Ferdinand Holzner for his suggest 🙂
