[packman] [PM] vlc 2.2.0-261.1 (openSUSE 13.2/x86_64) [Bug: No video on VLC 2.2]

[Hartmut]

Could it be a library-problem with Packman? Xine on a non Nvidia-system 
(Ati with radeon driver) stopped playing mp4 too. Error: could not 
initiate vdpau. Xine plays mp4 on my with Nvidia-card-system. If needed 
I can send a complete error-message ..
