VLC 0.8.5 playes AVIs and DVDs, but the 0.8.6 build in testing is broken and playes no Video-files at all. Also oggs and mp3s won't be played. Seems no file at all gets played. Seems someone has to look into it.

seems less is more. I compiled VLC 0.8.6 with this XML (all works now):

See, it works

I need to look into that further... it worked perfectly well before the toolchain change to testing.

Works fine now, thanks.
