i am using Debian lenny. funny thing, wma audio file works fine in 'movie player.' 'Movie player' is using the 'GStreamer ffmpeg video plugin' to make wma work. i followed all instructions stated below but still no work. please, someone with vlc wisdom, help.
If it is too late, you can follow the simple clean-up procedure:
Remove any Debian-Multimedia.org entries from the APT sources list via your package manager, or from the command line:
CODE: SELECT ALL
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
Update the package list, e.g.:
CODE: SELECT ALL
sudo apt-get update
Remove any libavutil package. This will also temporarily remove VLC, MPlayer, etc if they are installed. For example:
CODE: SELECT ALL
sudo apt-get remove libavutil*
Reinstall VLC and other packages you are interested in, from the official Debian repositories, e.g.
CODE: SELECT ALL
sudo apt-get install vlc
