I already did yum update.
From the root account, when I issue the command,

I get the same exact message when I try to install MPlayer.
I don’t see either VLC or MPlayer in GNOME, Applications > Sound & Video.
Before we troubleshoot any further, the very first thing I need to ask you is: Have you set up the 3rd party repositories? VLC isn't present in the default YDL setup.
There's instructions here:
Howto: Install software (the easy way) YDL 6You need what we call the 3rd party repositories (aka repos) to install VLC.
If you have set them up, we can troubleshoot from there.

I followed some instructions on the web to install the plugins, but apparently it failed.
I would really like to run VLC..
Also - unless the instructions on the web were PowerPC specific, they won't work. The PS3 has a PowerPC core, not an Intel (x86 or x86_64) core. Generally, binary files compiled for Intel architecture won't work on PowerPC and vice versa.
