A few days ago I updated vlc to 2.1.1-78.2 from the videolan.org repo. The app no longer plays video, just audio. For .flv files, the player launches but nothing plays. For other formats like mp4 or wmv, I get a message that says “No suitable decoder module:VLC does not support the audio or video format “h264”. Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.”
Anyone else encounter this problem with this version of vlc? Mplayer will play these files fine. I have the following installed:
Where do you have MPlayer from? Packman?
Then remove the videolan.org repo and switch all vlc packages to the versions from Packman, they work fine here.
Mixing the VideoLAN repo and Packman can give such problems and thus should not be done.
