My version is very old, and the scripts on that site will not install the 
much later version because its already installed. I removed it, which 
allowed the newer version to install, but must yet have the wrong plugin as 
now most of the vlc seems stripped away in the about, no m4v shows 
anyplace.

Still no joy in flatbush...
