 Note the version that is in the debian repositories, and then:

 aptitude install
 libav{codec52,device52,filter0,format52,util49,postproc51}=the version
 you just found out ffmpeg=version

This was not really enough, I had to downgrwade libswscale0 too, but
that finally fixed the problem.

Thanks a lot Felipe!

Video problems with VLC

2010-06-17 Thread Matteo Riva 
I have a problem playing AVI divx files with VLC.  Yesterday upon start
VLC showed an error message complaining about divx codecs and refused to
proceed.  Today the player starts but the video is squished horizontally
(it occupies roughly 1/4th of the VLC window which is for the other part
black).

I'm on an updated testing system, and before yesterday VLC was playing
fine.  In the meantime - after a recent dist-upgrade - I cannot run X
with proprietary ATI drivers anymore, I have to use the FOSS radeonhd
ones instead.  I don't know if that's related but I thought it could be
worth mentioning (and by the way if anyone has suggestions about this
problem too, that'd be very much appreciated).

How can I fix VLC's problem?

Thanks.

Hey,

Do you use the debian multimedia repo?

Because I had the same problem with VLC myself yesterday, the only
thing I could do to fix it was to disable the dm repo, purge vlc, and
reinstall from just debian main.

Regards,

Angus.

I was indeed using debian multimedia repository, but purging VLC and
reinstalling after removing the multimedia repository from sources.list
made no difference :S

Any particular step I missed?

- removed debian multimedia from /etc/apt/sources.list
- # aptitude purge vlc
- # aptitude update
- # aptitude install vlc

Thanks again

Hey,

I would try aptitude clean to make sure its not reinstalling from the
newer but broken libs from dm.

Apart from that, I dont have a clue, I think the problem was
libavcodec52 or libavformat52 as one of them was upgraded about the
same time vlc broke for me.

Angus

Is vlc really in d-m?  It's in my sources.list ('apt-cache policy' 
demonstrates it), but vlc only seems to be in Debian.


m...@haggis:~$ apt-cache policy vlc
vlc:
  Installed: 1.0.6-1
  Candidate: 1.0.6-1
  Version table:
 *** 1.0.6-1 0
500 http://mirrors.kernel.org sid/main Packages

Hey,

VLC isnt in d-m, but some of the libs VLC uses for codecs are in d-m,
and the problem was caused by an upgrade to one of them.

Re: Video problems with VLC

2010-06-17 Thread Matteo Riva 
I found this bug report[1] but I'm not sure on how to proceed in order
to apply that solution.  I can remove vlc with no problems, but if I try
removing libavutil50 I have a chain of dependencies complaining:

  Remove the following packages:
1)  ffmpeg
2)  gnome
3)  gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
4)  libavcodec52
5)  libavdevice52
6)  libavfilter1
7)  libavformat52
8)  libpostproc51
9)  libswscale0
10) libxine1-ffmpeg
11) libxine1-plugins

now, removing all gnome seems a bit overkill as a solution.  Any other
way?

Thanks for the idea.  I followed your suggestions and purged the DM 
version of VLC, commented out the DM repo in sources.list and 
reinstalled from the main Debian repo.


Now VLC is back to its reliable working ways again.

Cheers

AG
