# strace vlc video.webm | egrep -i open\|access Trying to actually find out where VLC is looking up for the codecs.Īs root you can use strace to see where VLC is looking for the codecs(hopefully) $ yum deplist vlc (to list all dependencies and compare to others lists) The wrong version of VLC was installed somehow, check the Linux version and the VLC version to see if they both are for the same architecture. VLC old configuration files could be causing problems, locating and deleting those could solve that problem.ĭeleting old VLC config files that may or may not be in conflict. PATH=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/creature/.local/bin:/home/creature/bin Strace also could be used to check on that.

"env" and "printenv" could be used to check on those.

It could be that some Linux environmental variable could be pointing the wrong way.
