It didn't take too long, once I started thinking about it from a different

then I looked for the folders where the config files are kept. I didn't even
delete them, but only renamed the folders everywhere that I found vlc, to
vlc-x, so that I didn't lose them, but so a new installation of vlc wouldn't
look there.
Funny thing is, I am pretty sure I tried all this once before. At least now
it's working; maybe something will get changed again?
I'm still not sure how it got messed up, since I generally stick with what
works, and even make a backup of that folder or file. But somehow, something
got messed up. Anyway, so that's better, because I was having a problem
watching videos of some file types.

VLC is (or would be) my media player of choice on
most of my machines or
devices. I use it on my smartphone, and don't need anything else to play
music, movies, stream videos or radio. (I've tried other media players,
yes, but they are all inadequate by comparison, at least for my own
needs.) So many good things to say about VLC ... until about a year or
two ago.
Might be through, but if I was to use GTK application, I wouldn't stick to
TDE for so long.
You'll have to debug - find out where and why it fails.
From what you are writing it could be some old library on the way or some
old configuration saved around.
Did you try with another fresh user (just create one, log in and run VLC).
You will find out if it has to do with user configuration
My choice is mplayer with kplayer as frontend BTW. The only problem I have
from time to time is with commercial DVDs.
