No plugins found! Check your VLC installation (OS X)

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

try to start your application with --plugin-path= and point it to your modules/ folder

Warning: option --plugin-path no longer exists.

Try setting the VLC_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable instead.

OK, so I'm on Ubuntu precise amd64
I had 2.0.3, tried to play a video file that had 'cook' audio. (file: rapidshare.com/3778767631)
so, I googled and found that only the nightly builds of VLC have proper 'cook' codec support.
I added the master-daily ppa, then installed (apt-get update and apt-get install vlc), but vlc was unable to start. I didn't bother seeing any log files, so I removed vlc (apt-get remove vlc) and disabled the ppa, then installed the stable version (apt-get update and apt-get install vlc) but now it's not working, I think something is stuck from the old installation.
I'm getting "No plugins found!" error. so I set plugins path to /lib/modules and now I'm getting

Code: Select all

vlc: symbol lookup error: vlc: undefined symbol: FromLocale

Am I right at setting plugins path to /lib/modules?
How can I make a full re-installation of VLC to make sure nothing gets stuck?

Thanks in advance.

Remove all libvlccore* packages, and then reinstall VLC from repositories.

Thanks, Rémi! You solved it!
