Hello all,
I’m having a problem with vlc media player. Every time I try to open a video file (any video file) vlc opens very briefly and sometimes flashes a bit and then disappears.
This is new and has only started happening recently, it worked perfectly before.
I launched vlc from the terminal to see if I could get any useful information. It crashed again just as described but I got the following error message:
user@General:~$ vlc

I should also point out that I am getting my video files from an external hard disk that I have attached to my “General” qube using the widget.
I’m afraid I don’t really understand the output above so would appreciate any insights folks might have.
Thanks in advance
