Hi, For some reason VLC player refuses to play video files. It starts up, shows the first frame of the video but doesn't play it further. What's strange, KDE DragonPlayer plays the same videos fine and I believe DragonPlayer relies on VLC libraries to play videos. Any ideas? Thanks # aptitude show phonon-backend-vlc Package: phonon-backend-vlc State: installed Version: 0.5.0-1 # aptitude show vlc Package: vlc State: installed Version: 2.0.1-4+b1
Try opening it from the a shell prompt with the option like below vlc --ffmpeg-threads 1 /home/bob/Videos/lolcat.mkv Let us know if that helps
