Unable to watch any video via mplayer, vlc, etc
For some reason, about a week ago, my computer stopped playing videos.
When I try to watch any kind of video, I get the sound, but no picture. To be clear(er) I can watch a flash video on youtube, but if I save it locally, it won't play. Neither will avi, mp4, mov, etc. etc. The same applies to DVDs - sound but no video.
I've tried VLC, mplayer, totem and xine.
Up until about two weeks ago, everything was working fine. I'm not sure what I did to kill it. I've tried re-installing medibuntu via
sudo -E wget --output-
followed by
sudo apt-get install app-install-
In both cases I get a message that I already have the latest versions installed and nothing is added, removed or updated.
I'd appreciate some guidance on how to fix this.
For now, I'm having to boot a live CD to watch videos - very inconvenient.
