I compile vlc and ffmpeg source, but it can't play h264 file

[charlestsai]

Dear All:
What is the problem that "No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format 'h264' "?
I compile vlc source, and all three-party library get from "apt-get install" command, then vlc play h264 video file successful,

and I remove librarys that about ffmpeg (using apt-get autoremove ffmpeg), compile and install ffmpeg from source, then vlc play h264 file fail.
but ffplay can play it.

how compile vlc+ffmpeg source?

You need to recompile VLC or make sure that the version of libavcodec you have compiled is compatible with the one from the packages.

vlc -vvv --list |grep avcodec will tell you what the problem is

I run './vlc -vvv -list | grep avcodec', it return as follow

The ffmpeg is V0.5.2
libavcodec is 52.20.1
libavdevice is 52.1.0
libavfilter is 0.4.0
libavformat is 52.31.0
libavutil is 49.15.0
libpostproc is 51.2.0
libswscale is 0.7.1

why vlc load module fail??

because your ffmpeg installation is broken
