Dodgy VLC update

I just did an update via Zypper for VLC and am now currently getting this message for every music file I try and play.

No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format “mpga”. Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

And videos

No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format “mp4v”. Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

Which is ever so slightly annoying considering I was using VLC without any problems yesterday. Any help, please.

I can confirm this
Though I don’t use VLC for audio files and can’t figure why people do.

I’ll report it at Packman

Cheers for that. I use it for audio files because I tend to organize my music collection within folders and Amarok just completely ignores that.

Worked. Thank you.

I wish I would have seen this earlier, I seriously screwed up some packages trying to get this working again.

Which is the most current multimedia guide for for VLC and its codec packages? I’m sure I’ve seen one for 12.3 in a thread by caf4926 that I intended to follow, but some some reason I can’t find it now, even using the search.

Thanks for the update, I’ll check the forums in future before I rip my installation to pieces trying to fix problems myself.

All sorted, thanks a lot, bookmarked for future reference.
