In reply to Vincent. @Vincent, Thank you for pointing that out. In Fedora 40, the package npapi-vlc has been removed, as it's no longer relevant for Fedora 40. For browser integration, consider using a browser extension like "Open in VLC" or "Play with VLC", as these extensions allow you to play media files directly in VLC from your browser.

This does not work at all on Fedora 40; the package npapi-vlc does not exist.

@Ztutoo,

Thank you for sharing that information! Yes, you’re correct. On Fedora 39 and likely Fedora 40 as well, VLC can be found in the UPDATES repo.

On Fedora 39 (and perhaps on 40 as well), VLC is in the UPDATES repo. FFmpeg is there as well, named ffmpeg-free.

I used Fedora 31 and I managed to install VLC.
