VLC 1.0 closes while opening video. OS:Fedora 11

Postby a2l » 21 Jul 2009 05:44

Hi to everyone in this forum,

I've recently installed Fedora 11 in ma system and installed vlc 1.0.0 using this site:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-fedora.html

I'm able to play audio files without any problem, but when i open a video, vlc closes instantly. When i ran vlc in verbose mode and opened a video file, this is the output that i got:

[0x992f4e0] main demux warning: no access_demux module matching "file" could be loaded
[0xb7804f00] asf stream warning: unknown asf object (not loaded)
[0xb7804f00] asf stream warning: unknown asf object (not loaded)
[0xb7804f00] asf stream warning: unknown asf object (not loaded)
Illegal instruction


Plz help me out..

thanks in advance...

you are probably using a old version because the last version will appears in stable updates once qt 4.5.2 is stable in fedora 11

Do as root:
yum update qt\* --enablerepo=updates-testing
yum update vlc\* mozilla-vlc --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-updates-testing

That way, you will have vlc 1.0.0-1 (and not the -rc4)

I've done as you said, but still i'm not able to play the video files as vlc closes abruptly..Moreover, after this update i'm not able to play audio files as well.. :( this is the verbose output while trying to play a video file:

LC media player 1.0.0 Goldeneye
[0x8b648a8] main libvlc warning: This doesn't look like a valid plugins cache
[0x8b808c0] main demux warning: no access_demux module matching "file" could be loaded
[0xb750d418] asf stream warning: unknown asf object (not loaded)
[0xb750d418] asf stream warning: unknown asf object (not loaded)
[0xb750d418] asf stream warning: unknown asf object (not loaded)
Illegal instruction



and the following is the verbose output on trying to play an audio file

VLC media player 1.0.0 Goldeneye
[0x808f8a8] main libvlc warning: This doesn't look like a valid plugins cache
[0x80ab8c0] main demux warning: no access_demux module matching "file" could be loaded
[0xb730b970] scaletempo audio filter warning: bad input or output format
[0xb730b970] main audio filter warning: no audio filter module matching "scaletempo" could be loaded


what am i supposed to do?

It works for me and for many others !

Now I cannot tell what is broken, is this your stream or your installation ?!

Do you have some more information about theses ?

Try with removing the configuration files:
rm -rf ~/.cache/vlc/* ~/.config/vlc/*

For the record there is currently a (hopefully) temporary problem with the current vlc package.
You need to update qt from the fedora 's updates-testing repository before to update/install vlc-1.0.0
Unless you already have qt 4.5.2, (rpm -q qt <- to known) you will need to do as root:
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update qt\*

Then you will be abble to install or update vlc.
