Blender and VLC issues

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.

Re: Blender and VLC issues

Have you got the same problem with video files where other codecs are used? Example; xvid?

Do you have libx264.so files?

pacman -Qs libx264
find / -iname libx264.so* 2>/dev/null

Re: Blender and VLC issues

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.

Re: Blender and VLC issues

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 libx264

I 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.
