Since my upgrade to lenny, my VLC is not working anymore. When I play XVID video files, I can just have sound played but not the video. Error message is :
[00000312] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `XVID'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
When I run this command I got a warning on ffmpeg:
vlc -vvv --color --no-plugins-cache --list ... [00000001] main private warning: cannot load module `/usr/lib/vlc/codec/libffmpeg_plugin.so' (/usr/lib/vlc/codec/libffmpeg_plugin.so: undefined symbol: img_resample) ...
To fix the problem I had to downgrade to debian lenny versions of ffmpeg libavcodec51 libavdevice52 libavformat52 libavutil49 libpostproc51 and libswscale0 :
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ffmpeg=0.svn20080206-8 libavcodec51=0.svn20080206-8 \ libavdevice52=0.svn20080206-8 libavformat52=0.svn20080206-8 libavutil49=0.svn20080206-8 \ libpostproc51=0.svn20080206-8 libswscale0=0.svn20080206-8
Then I had to remove my ~/.vlc directory content:
rm -rf ~/.vlc
Then I was able to watch again my XVID videos!
The bad news is that I'm not able anymore to use 'transcode' from debian-multimedia while the problem is not fixed.
