Hi There,
I got a Raspberry Pi this weekend and tonight I’ve just finished setting it up with Ubuntu Mate.
Unfortunately, right now it’s not playing any standard MKVs in either VLC (2.2) or Smplayer.
VLC does this - it opens the video file, the time counter starts as if the video is actually playing, but nothing happens. It’s just a standard VLC black box.
Smplayer crashes, gives an error code and gives a huge debug / error log.
I’ve tried it from different external hard drives and different USB sticks. Any help / advice please!
