VLC External Player

i’ve installed chromium via [Testing] X11(simple desktop) + Chromium(web browser) in a simple installer for Stretch which

installs Xserver, LXDE core, Chromium,…a starting/launcher addon for kodi.

and it works great, altho it does exit kodi, which is restarted on logout from x…i had installed the repo vlc, but w/o h/w accel it’s useless:-(

i’ve been trying to compile w/accel using

Tutorial: Compile VLC with HW acceleration - Stretch, RPi 2/3 - Raspberry Pi Forums

and

How to compile VLC media player with hardware acceleration for the Raspberry Pi - The Pi

but of course osmc is not raspian, so i’m getting dependency issues:

Preparing to unpack …/liblirc-dev_0.9.4c-9_armhf.deb …
Unpacking liblirc-dev:armhf (0.9.4c-9) …
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/liblirc-dev_0.9.4c-9_armhf.deb (–unpack):
trying to overwrite ‘/usr/include/lirc/lirc_client.h’, which is also in package armv7-lirc-osmc 0.9.0-6

anybody know the fix?
