Does that imply that I should abandon VLC or just rpmfusion?
This site:
http://www.tecmint.com/install-vlc-media-player-in-rhel-centos-fedora/
suggests I use epel and nux.
I already have epel enabled.
Should I use its suggestion to install the nux repo?

The other video player I have is mplayer,
but I haven't gotten it to play anything lately.
I think the issue is that decoders are "sold separately"
and I do not even know what to call the decoders
much less how to install them.

I have some multi-media RPMs including VLC at https://media.librelamp.com/

I started building them when rpmforge went stale, needing the GStreamer 
and FFmpeg - and only somewhat recently added VLC (as I have started to 
become really disappointed with each totem update)

Anyway I can't say they are better than nux because I never used nux but 
nux seems to be popular so probably has better peer support.

before switching to Nux, I would take note of, and uninstall any 
rpmfusion packages, then remove the rpmfusion repo, install the nux 
repo, and install the nux versions of the packages you want.

Is this ok [y/N]:

Is it telling me something I should worry about?
