   VLC doesn't give an error, it just endlessly tries loading and reloading 
the file (a video from a security camera).

   I'm guessing it's some oddity in the file format produced by the cheap 
Chinese security camera. Purportedly ffmpeg can convert the file to another more 
common format; that's my next step to deal with the issue.

   That was me foolishly installing various CODECs in the hope it might help.
