    You are telling me that to install a simple video player I have to go through a rather complicated installation of a server that I don’t want? Even though I’ve retired from computer science, any user should be able to ‘apt’ a ‘package’ and have a proper install. If the server is required, then apt should install and configure it, at least enough to get you up.

    Sounds more like a bug in VLC, rather than an installation issue. IMHO

    I appreciate you time and effort in the making of this article, thanks. 🙂
