The VideoLAN Forums

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)
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 ?

i've installed it via the repository. i'm trying to play files in ma system. shud i consider reinstalling??

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.
