After a recent update, Blender and VLC stopped working. I have a suspicion that these two issues are linked.
When I run blender, I get the following error:
blender: error while loading shared libraries: libx264.so.142: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I already Googled this, and so far on of the results worked for me.
On VLC, when I try to play a video, I get the following error:
[0x7f465d611f28] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `h264'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
I am able to hear the audio, but I don't get any video footage.
Once again the solution I found through Google didn't help.

Have you got the same problem with video files where other codecs are used? Example; xvid?
Do you have libx264.so files?
pacman -Qs libx264find / -iname libx264.so* 2>/dev/nullOffline
Running:
pacman -Qs libx264
Gives:
local/libx264 1:142.20140311-6
Library for encoding H264/AVC video streams
Running find does nothing. I saw this this solution on a different thread, and even tried reinstalling libx264. Nothing happened.

Sorry for the absence. You might have solved the problem by now.
Anyways, it seems like you lack the shared library files that libx264 provides. Just for the quriosity, what happens on
pacman -Ql libx264I would have believed that a reinstall would work. Do you use the original repository for this? Try clear pacman cache before reinstalling, so that the library are grabbed from web over again.
