    It appears to me that you only installed the repo key and not the actual program. Try using yum to install it now.
    Code:
    yum install vlc

    To find out where an rpm puts various files you can run the following command:
    rpm -ql <package_name>
    or if you only want to find the executable(s):
    rpm -ql <package_name> | grep bin
