On my Sid installation VLC is broken. It does not display mpegs or mkvs. I have tried all the output modules and none make any difference. All I get is a black screen. Audio does work however. How can I track down the problem?
The first step is to launch vlc from a terminal instead of a desktop menu/shortcut/whatever, so that you can see what error messages (if any) it is printing.
