vlc doesn't play anything: RHEL3, arts

Postby protective1 » 04 Aug 2005 23:01

I installed videolan-client-0.8.1-3.1.el3.rf RPM for i386 from rpmfind.net onto my Redhat Enterprise Linux 3 box.
Nothing plays - no audio or video. I can load files onto the playlist, and the appropriate info is detected in the media info list, but when I press play, the counter doesn't even advance. I've tried WAV and MPG files.

I am using the arts sound server.
Sometimes as I'm exiting VLC, I hear a brief sample of the sound file I was trying to play.

I would really appreciate your help with this problem.
