[SOLVED] Plays no video except mkv files?

[danielog]

Well, the example used in the debug file is indeed the Hunger Games movie in .mp4 format. It has been encoded using H264 (direct quote from VLC info: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc 1)). Could it be that the media server transcodes to mpeg2, for which I need a license? I hadn't thought of that, but that would make sense. Maybe I should purchase a license, just to see.

Unless that solves all my problems, I will post a log with further examples and no debug asap. But what is "dmesg"?

I haven't installed anything else.
