vlc and access modules
Greets!
not sure how I got into this bind but I seem to have lost the 'access
modules' that allow vlc to view video files (and likely do many other
things; I know I cannot convert video).
when I try to look at an mp4, I get
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL
'file:///home/davisf/dwhelper/video.mp4'. Check the log for details.
I don't know where the log is. I have noticed that there are very few
'access modules' available, whereas there are a bunch in vlc on
another machine. I am guessing that's the problem; maybe wrong
diagnosis.
I have tried purging vlc and reinstalling without effect - I generally
use apt and apt-get. I looked at a bunch of vlc stuff in synaptic and
installed some things I might use, some plugins, but to no effect on
the present problem.
I have not restarted the session or the computer.
this is Debian Buster using 4qos-trinity, a variant of
Trinity-Desktop, a variant of KDE derived from KDE3.
vlc is installed from deb-multimedia. it's 3.0.10 Vetinari.
thoughts?
