Bonjour les amis et une bonne et heureuse année 2007 à tous.

Depuis a tentative de màj vlc en 0.8.6a et faute d'avoir réussi à faire marcher mes mods freeplayer et ayant eu des problèmes de fonctionnement avec vlc (que du son, pas de vidéo avec les .avi !) je suis revenu à mon ancienne config vlc à savoir 0.8.6. Malheureusement les problèmes perdurent ! rien ne marche ni music ni films ni photos. Vous trouverez ci-après le log d'erreur après la tentative de lecture d'un fichier avi. Merci pour vos lumières.

amicalement

P.S. en rappel je suis sous SUSE 10.0

VLC media player 0.8.6 Janus

It is potentially dangerous, and might not even work properly.
[00000302] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `DIV3'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

Dear Jean-Baptiste,

I have done what you have proposed (i.e. removing the .vls directory) the situation remain the same ! More explicitely, I can hear the sound of the film but no way for having a video display window ! I am disappointed

P.S. I had allready done the removing .vlc directory before with kde interface ans not in a terminal ! But I did not reboot the computer. This time even a reboot did not change any thing

Thanks in advance for your help and quick reply

Best regards

Kemal

Problem solved !

It seems that this was a problem related to ffmpeg, library modified during the update processus ; Now that I tried to harmonise all the libraries related to vlc and it worked I again hve my video display in vlc with my avi's

Still thanks and best regards !

P.S. But I will not make the 0.8.6a update, I have lost 2 days !

Kemal

The 0.8.6a is a *SECURITY* release. Therefore be very careful using untrusted playlist from the Internet !

Thanks for your advice Jean-Baptiste, By the way I don't use much untrusted playlists from web.

I profit from this opportunity to transmit my very best wishes to you and your family along with the Videolan team members for the year 2007 which I hope will be much better than the preceeding one with respect to peace, tolerance, solidarity, mutual respect and respect of nature.

Regards

Kemal

Thanks a lot.

Best wishes for you too !
