Bug#588468: vlc should provide correct error message

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

notfound 588468 1.1.2-1
thanks

   Hello,

Firstly, this is a different issue than the original #588468, so it would
deserve its own bug, probably at minor or wishlist level.

Secondly, this is not completely fixable. All VLC knows is that it has no
support for the codec. I don't see any solution anyway. The computer cannot
determine whether the plugin failed due to wrong codec parameters, the
plugin failed due to a bug, the plugin failed due to a broken underlying
library, the plugin is not installed, the plugin is not available for this
particular architecture/build/version/whatever, or there are simply no
plugins for this codec at all (generally speaking). Keep in mind this
message is not specific to Debian and Teletext.

And then, it is a bit hard to have custom error message in Debian VLC. In
particular, this would not benefit from the upstream VLC translation team.
