Hey,

VLC isnt in d-m, but some of the libs VLC uses for codecs are in d-m,
and the problem was caused by an upgrade to one of them.

Regards,

Angus

I found this bug report[1] but I'm not sure on how to proceed in order
to apply that solution. I can remove vlc with no problems, but if I try
removing libavutil50 I have a chain of dependencies complaining:

Remove the following packages:
1) ffmpeg
2) gnome
3) gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
4) libavcodec52
5) libavdevice52
6) libavfilter1
7) libavformat52
8) libpostproc51
9) libswscale0
10) libxine1-ffmpeg
11) libxine1-plugins

now, removing all gnome seems a bit overkill as a solution. Any other
way?

Thanks for the idea. I followed your suggestions and purged the DM
version of VLC, commented out the DM repo in sources.list and
reinstalled from the main Debian repo.

Now VLC is back to its reliable working ways again.

Cheers

swScaler: pal8 is not supported as output pixel format
[0xa0d7c30] swscale scale error: could not init SwScaler and/or
allocate memory

Maybe it's just the gnome metapackage?
