Since Ubuntu by default will use the version of its repositories and not the version of snap or the VLC repository. In any case, let us choose one way or another, before we have to uninstall the version of VLC that we have. We can also make use of official VLC repositories that we can use for Ubuntu. Currently, through snap we can install the latest stable version of VLC as well as the development version. One of the most effective methods to have the latest version of VLC is to use the snap package. However, this player does not have the latest version in the official Ubuntu repositories, which causes us to lose certain functionalities.Īnd if instead of Ubuntu 18.04 we have Ubuntu 16.04, the problem is more serious then VLC version is not compatible with gadgets like chromecast.



VLC is one of the most popular and complete players that we can find for Ubuntu.
