Bug#672972: Wheezy: VLC player can't play videos

[T Elcor]

Package: vlc                             
Version: 2.0.1-4+b1

For some reason VLC player refuses to play video files. It starts up, shows the first frame of the video but doesn't play it further. What's strange, KDE DragonPlayer plays the same videos fine and I believe DragonPlayer relies on VLC libraries to play videos. 

$ vlc --ffmpeg-threads 1  file:///some/file/name.mp4
VLC media player 2.0.1 Twoflower (revision 2.0.1-0-gf432547)
[0x21ab108] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
[0x263a7d8] xcb_xv vout display error: no available XVideo adaptor
[0x7f8b90d94d28] freetype spu text error: Breaking unbreakable line 

Running the above with "--ffmpeg-threads 0" pretty much produces the same output.

Thanks
