Thank you for reading this.
Someone recently asked a question about this very topic but the answer
didn't help me.
I have always been able to play flv files, with various players, until
Mageia 2. For example, this is the error that VLC generates:
VLC media player 2.0.1 Twoflower (revision 2.0.1-0-gf432547)
[0x841e920] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use
'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
[0x84692d8] qt4 interface error: Unable to load extensions module
I tried cvlc and although it didn't generate an error message it also
didn't seem do anything either.
The "extension module" seems like a likely place to start but I cannot
see anything useful in MCC. Can anyone help?
I have seen this in the past. Cannot remember what the fix was.
cvlc works for me.
Poking around on the Ubuntu forums I saw this suggestion to get vlc
going after a different problem:
rm -rf ~/.config/vlc
I don't have such a file, I wonder if that's the problem?
On my system that directory contains a qt4 configuration file.
Restarting vlc might regenerate the contents and might help with the
missing module problem - shooting in the dark here though.
And, if you want to use skins, remember to install svlc.
The name of the video flashes on the play window briefly but nothing
else happens. There aren't any error messages.
