hi

I have a live cd that has this issue with a debian stable vlc

click on a file that vlc can play in gui and nothing happens after associating it with vlc.

run vlc in command mode and you get the following error

i43.tinypic.com/2h88o48.jpg

I can half resolve it by running the command

:: Code ::

vlc --plugin-path /usr/lib/vlc/plugins /pathway2/mediafile

Naturally I want to automate above to avoid the command line if possible.

2) I tried to create a new script to associate in my file manager with media files....but it does not play the file but will show the gui vlc and then I have to manually navigate to go to the file

my amateur script looks like
:: Quote ::

#!/bin/sh
vlc --plugin-path /usr/lib/vlc/plugins %f


3) if anyone knows how to mod a script correctly please help

my hard drive running of vlc is not an issue

thanks heaps in advance
