The VideoLAN Forums

Hi there,

I love vlc, know all key strokes and therefore really don't want to miss it on my system. But after I updated to ubuntu lucid I see the following:



This suppose to be the live stream of the oil spill. I have this squeezy problem with all kind of videos. It doesn't seems to be a codec specific issue, neither a vlc issue (I guess). I believe it is os dependant. Did I perhaps install a bad package? I removed libavutil* and all dependant packages and reinstalled vlc. But still the same result.

Help is very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ralph

definitively look like a bad libavutil bug.

Check dpkg -l libavutil\*
Only libavutil49 should be in "ii" state

Hi xtophe,

It is :(

$ dpkg -l libavutil\*
