Hi,
Have had vlc 0.99 working from original jaunty install then upgraded to Goldeneye
from Goldeneye ppa also working for a long time until now see error below
(btw: Mplayer still ok)
No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "XVID". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
vlc debug output indicates problem with libraries...
vlc -v
VLC media player 1.0.2 Goldeneye
[0x9695140] main libvlc warning: cannot load module `/usr/lib/vlc/codec/libavcodec_plugin.so'

Mplayer still working, ffmpeg version is
dpkg -p ffmpeg | grep Version
Version: 4:0.5+svn20090924-0ubuntu0~ppa2
Just two questions,
1) Why does vlc think it cannot load the libraries
2) What have I got to do to fix it? (presumably answering the previous question will get it to work again)
Cheers.
