[Solved]Error when attempting to use subtitles

[Number3124]

Hi. Whenever I attempt to use subtitles in dual audio MKV files, VLC 2.1.5 fails to open the subtitles and returns this message:

No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "ssa ". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

These same files used to work just fine. It wasn't until the most recent update that this happened.

I'm using VLC 2.1.5 on Mageia 4.1 using the MATE GUI.

Missing libass plugin...

Got it! Thanks. I wonder why it didn't ship with that plugin though?

Because vlc is modular and Mageia does not install all the plugins, you can install what you need.
You could also just do

Code: Select all

urpmi $(urpmf --name vlc-plugin)

to install all plugins at once if you think you need any of those.
