openSUSE does not supported anymore? I mean repository...

The VLC webserver is broken, and the team will be able to access it on Monday.

Once it is fixed everything should be working as before.

for info about the current problem.

I've been talking with the guys dealing with the problems with the server today, and here is an update with more info. The main server has suffered a failed hard drive, which has required the webmaster to point "http://download.videolan.org" at a mirror hosted somewhere else. The problem w...

Hey, don't thank me! I just broke the ftp server by telling everyone to go use it. Great way to introduce myself to the site admins: "Hey! I just broke some stuff! Hi.." I advise anyone who modified thier install-css.sh script or "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/libdvdcss.list" - to reve...

Just to keep things tidy as the discussion is going on in two threads about this problem I'll post this comment here also: Aha! Looks like a hardware failure. https://twitter.com/videolan/status/545620746505322496 A hard drive has failed on their server - I wonder if the webserver had problems for a...

Aha! Looks like a hardware failure. https://twitter.com/videolan/status/545620746505322496 A hard drive has failed on their server - I wonder if the webserver had problems for a while and the changes propogated to the mirrors. No doubt the admins are far to busy trying to fix the problem to give an ...

Well, to modify my comment above - the ftp servers are fine for your system to have set. However it seems that the videolan ftp server is not coping well with the increased traffic - the sooner the can get the http server fixed the better.. They are complaining a bit under the load: Err ftp://ftp.vi...

For those wishing to run install-css.sh, you can edit it to use the ftp server by amending this line:

sitert=http://download.videolan.org/
to
sitert=ftp://ftp.videolan.org/

However I am interested to see where this goes and what the reason for the change is.

I don't use Synaptic, but using the ftp servers for "Software and Updates" is fine. Bear in mind that I'm only using it to update libdvdcss, whatever you are up to might be less tolerant..

Hope it helps.

Not sure as to why it's unavailable, but you can get round the problem by using the ftp server as a source for the moment. Hopefully the Debian repo will be corrected soon.

Just to update for others till this is fixed: I used the ftp server to get libdvdcss installed, but ideally the http sources should be corrected as it currently breaks install_css.sh as used in many Ubuntu versions. I used the following to get it installed: echo 'deb ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/debia...

Hi, Long time listener, first time caller.. Just registered to point out that this is not fixed - or if it is then there is a mismatch between the installation instructions for libdvdcss. I'm just running through an Ubuntu install, and I'm getting a 404 error while trying to download "http://do...
