no display and no audio with vlc

Hi,

I can't use vlc for quite a bunch of time (6 month?). When playing a video, DVD or Divx, it won't display no video and no sound is played. A 9 minutes long stream would be red in about 4 or 5 seconds.

I already tried: rm -rf ~/.vlc
It won't improve anything.

Someone is having the same issue? I didn't found any bug report.

If maybe you don't have any suggestions about how fixing this, maybe you could suggest an equivalent application?

I'm using smplayer which works fine on divx files but it would not work properly for DVD and I don't want to compress all DVDs!! Smplayer simply does not display all subtitles which is quite annoying!!

Re: no display and no audio with vlc

start vlc with vlc -vv, play your movie and paste the log
