I cannot get Video to work....help.

Since I first installed arch I have not been able to get video to work at all. Dragon player just sits there and looks like its tryin to work, so I downloaded VLC and it pops up with an error telling me it was unable to play the video and to check the log for details (I have looked for the log and Im not sure where to find it). I would really prefer to use VLC but would not be objective to using dragon player if I have to. Any help would be appriciated. I am running KDE4 and have the newest update to VLC. tried with both xine backend and gsstreamer with plugins.


I understand it completely, grappled hopelessly with comprehension, balanced on the edge of insanity for an eternity.....a moment.

Re: I cannot get Video to work....help.

Do you have the packages ffmpeg or gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg installed?

Do a:

#sudo pacman -Qs ffmpeg

to make sure you have it installed.
