I installed it by incorporating the "dag" repository, then doing
"yum -y install videolan-client".
Here's my /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo
[dag]
name=Dag APT Repository
baseurl=http://dag.freshrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/
http://dag.atrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/
http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/
enabled=0
#gpgcheck=1
DAG says that if there conflicts between his files and other repositories,
that the blame is with other repositories.
But - to make my life easier - I just "--enablerepo=dag" only when I want
to install/upgrade videolan-client.
