Some time in recent weeks vlc stopped working for me, i.e. it will no longer play .avi, .mp4 or .mkv files but just lists a continuous stream of errors to the console (see below). I'm currently on: $ rpm -qa vlc\* vlc-extras-3.0.0-25.20180109git0c462fc.fc27.x86_64 vlc-core-3.0.0-25.20180109git0c462fc.fc27.x86_64 but I'm pretty sure the problem started before the recent release of VLC 3. This is a typical slice of output: $ vlc foo.avi VLC media player 3.0.0-rc6 Vetinari (revision 3.0.0-rc5-7-g0c462fc53e) [0000559d9bd7d410] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface.

Essentially the same thing happens with every video file I try, even though the same files *do* play correctly with the default KDE and Gnome video tools. It's possible that some codec is missing, but the errors don't seem to point to that. In any case these are the ones I have: $ rpm -qa gstreamer\* gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.36-18.fc27.x86_64 gstreamermm-1.4.3-1.fc25.x86_64 gstreamer-0.10.36-18.fc27.x86_64 gstreamer1-vaapi-1.12.4-1.fc27.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-bad-1.12.4-2.fc27.x86_64 gstreamer1-1.12.4-1.fc27.i686 gstreamer1-plugins-base-1.12.4-1.fc27.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-good-1.12.4-1.fc27.x86_64 gstreamer1-libav-1.12.4-1.fc27.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-base-1.12.4-1.fc27.i686 gstreamer-plugins-bad-nonfree-0.10.23-5.fc27.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-1.12.4-1.fc27.x86_64 gstreamer-tools-0.10.36-18.fc27.x86_64 gstreamer1-1.12.4-1.fc27.x86_64 I'd be interested to hear opinions on what's going on. VLC used to work perfectly for me, certainly on F26 and (I believe) on F27 though I can't swear to it. Turning SElinux off makes no difference. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
