VLC for Ubuntu 20.04

  • 772

On VLC website, it says that it is supported for only release 16.04 and 18.04.

enter image description here

But when I run sudo apt install vlc directly in the terminal, it did install vlc. So, how did it work on 20.04?

I also tried to add their PPA (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/stable-daily), but it showed release file error, which also confirms that they have not released it for 20.04.

So, how does it work with sudo apt install vlc.

ppa apt vlc 20.04

    Check

    https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/vlc

    You'll note the maintainers are Ubuntu MOTU Developers

    The vlc found in Ubuntu repositories for Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) was packaged by Ubuntu Master of the Universe packagers, not the VLC project.
