Here is a working VLC Media Player!!
 

I have a working build of vlc media player (version 0.8.6d) compiled using the scratchbox environment and the maemo 4.0 sdk.

I will also try to get a guide together, but I'm gonna have to retrace some steps first.

I will attach the deb if anyone wants to try it out. Of course I am not responsible if it does something to your system, so backup your data before installing it, but I didn't have any problems installing it on my n800 with OS2008. You must be in red pill mode to install this application. Instructions on red pill mode can be found here

Here is a link to deb file. I can post somewhere else if this one expires.

Unable to install. Incompatible software package. :(

I'm running N800 with latest OS2008.

Re: Here is a working VLC Media Player!!
 

Which link did you use to download it?

Re: Here is a working VLC Media Player!!
 

I used the megaupload link. The other link didn't work at all...

Re: Here is a working VLC Media Player!!
 

I think the incompatible package may be dependent on which mode you are in. I have my n800 in red pill mode, so I'll have to go back to the other mode and see if it gives me the same message
