Thank you for reading this.
Someone recently asked a question about this very topic but the answer
didn't help me.
I have always been able to play flv files, with various players, until
Mageia 2. For example, this is the error that VLC generates:
VLC media player 2.0.1 Twoflower (revision 2.0.1-0-gf432547)
[0x841e920] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use
'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
[0x84692d8] qt4 interface error: Unable to load extensions module
I tried cvlc and although it didn't generate an error message it also
didn't seem do anything either.
The "extension module" seems like a likely place to start but I cannot
see anything useful in MCC. Can anyone help?
I have seen this in the past. Cannot remember what the fix was.
cvlc works for me.
Poking around on the Ubuntu forums I saw this suggestion to get vlc
going after a different problem:
rm -rf ~/.config/vlc
On my system that directory contains a qt4 configuration file.
Restarting vlc might regenerate the contents and might help with the
missing module problem - shooting in the dark here though.
And, if you want to use skins, remember to install svlc.
