vlc disappear after just start
 

hi all,

i have install vlc -0.9.9a Grishenko on my kernel 2.6.24.7. i have ubuntu-9.04.

when i start vlc and select a file for play then after clicking on play
button ,vlc disappear after 1 sec and it gives this error"the format of sample.avi file can not be detected.check log details".


plz send me solution to fix it.

It sounds like you have a bad .avi file. Have you tried playing it on something other than vlc? Also you can open a terminal and navigate to the folder containing sample.avi and run the command and see what it says.
cheers,
jdk

thank you for reply.........
my sample.avi is playing by using command on terminal:-
vlc ./sample.avi -V x11

but still it is not able to play directly with vlc and movie player........both will disapear on clicking play button..........

and also when i run this command: "file sample.avi"
output is:-sample.avi:RIFF(little-endian)data, AVI 640 X 352,25.00 fps,video: XviD, audio :MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo , 48000 hz).

so plz send me solution.

MAy be the GUI is crashing just tryand run the vlc in debug mode using gdb and see what is the exact cause of crash may be some resource not found problem can be there or something related to the detection of underlying gui rendering drivers. Best of luck!!!!!!

but still i am unable to find solution...

but as i am able to run vlc by commands .so can any one send command for steaming of sample.avi between my host (ravirenu.cedtv4.iisc.ernet.in) and remote host(edcn26.cedtv4.iisc.erner.in) computers.
