Hello friends, I've vlc player installed on my system. (ubuntu 9.10) ... $ vlc --version VLC media player 1.1.0-git The Luggage VLC version 1.1.0-git The Luggage (exported) Compiled by buildd on hassium.ppa (Mar 2 2010 19:22:47) Compiler: gcc version 4.4.1 (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9) This program comes with NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.

Since it is a ppa version, it may have bugs, but the problem is, It does not play flash video files. I tried running vlc from a normal terminal, and on playing flv files it doesn't dump any error! For AVI or mp4 files it dumps errors like "h264 is missing, can't fix it!" etc. But the strange thing is that, I tried $sudo vlc, it plays everything including flash videos without any problems. And it was for the first time I run vlc as root. Now amazingly everything is fixed!!! Vlc runs in normal mode without any errors!!! Do anyone know what could be the possible causes? Just need to know :) ---------------------------------------- Freedom Is The Only Law... ---------------------------------------- Subin Sebastian College of Engineering Munnar - 685612 +91-944-6475826
