video works on vlc if opened in brower but does not works if opened in file manager
Hi everyone!
Im having a weird problem with vlc...
If i download a video in browser (vivaldi), and open this file by clicking on it, in the download label of the browser, the video opens in the vlc with no issue...
butttt
If i try open the video by clicking on it, in the file manager (thunar), the vlc simply freezes! Just the cursor still working...all the rest of the X hangs and i have to reboot the computer.
So, i cant even open the vlc in terminal to try figure out whats going on...
Even being a debian fresh install, i try delete the .config and .cache vlc folders to restore defaults.....but it does not solved the problem.

try right clicking on the file and look for properties, and make sure it is selected for vlc to open that type of file, this is just a maybe. check vlc config settings under prefs about opening files in a file manager. if it is the same file that is doing this, try a different one. uninstall, reinstall, . just a few minor checks.

If you typed in exactly what I wrote, that's correct. You were supposed to substitute /path/to with /usr/bin, or wherever vlc actually is. How do I know where vlc is on your box?

Stop running things as root. Some software won't run as root on purpose. You are not using a web browser as root are you? If so stop what you are doing. Make a user account and run everything as user.

Actually was just this command....vlc even work as root, the program does not allow you run it as root

OMG, ma bad kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk....realy sorry, here's the output..the bin is indeed in /usr/bin (i saw it):
supercharger@supercharger:~$ ldd /usr/bin/vlc |grep found

OK. It's not missing libraries and looks like it should work. what happens if you open a user terminal in X, and find a video that user can access, cd to the relevant directory so you can 'ls' it, and run
You're running Debian and you're having issues with vlc, and KAFFEINE. that sounds strange to me. I've moved over to mpv rom vlc ... you do know how to change the middle mouse button to control volume instead of having it move the video frames in mpv,yes?
On vlc, have you tried 'cvlc'? It's a command line video player, which doesn't load a gui and just plays the video. If that freezes, it's something in the video players, and we'd suspect video libraries. If it doesn't freeze, we'd expect something in X.
It's also worth trying
Code:
ldd /usr/bin/vlc |grep found
in case it's missing some basic lib. Ther5e should be no output.
