[OpenIndiana-discuss] Hipster 2015 x264 issue

[russell]

Hi Ken,

I have VLC 2.1.5 installed but it is broken because of the x264 library 
issue.

$ pkg info vlc
           Name: media/vlc
        Summary: vlc - multimedia player and streaming server
       Category: Applications/Sound and Video
          State: Installed
      Publisher: localhostoi151a8
        Version: 2.1.5
         Branch: 0.0.151.1.8
Packaging Date: 10 January 2015 17:37:32

pkg://localhostoi151a8/media/vlc@2.1.5-0.0.151.1.8:20150110T173732Z


VLC 2.1.5 reports following error via the GUI

"No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "h264". Unfortunately 
there is no way for you to fix this."

 From the cli the following errors are reported
