Can't play .flv files with VLC on openSUSE 11.1

Postby wyotecher20 » 20 Jun 2009 01:18

Hi, I am using opensuse 11.1 and vlc 0.9.9. I can't play .flv files. When I open the file nothing happens. I can play every other format I have tried and I can play .flv in windows with vlc 0.9.9 just fine. I can also play the same .flv files in linux with mplayer but would rather use vlc if I can get it working. Here is what I get from running vlc --list in a terminal if it helps. Thanks for any help.
