[SOLVED] vlc is not playing neither mp4 nor mov files after upgrading

Hi

I get this error trying to play a .mp4 file that was able to play previously:

$ LC_ALL=C cvlc test.mp4 
VLC media player 3.0.3 Vetinari (revision 3.0.2-225-gc9e3360dd4)
[0238b980] dummy interface: using the dummy interface module...
[b42138d0] gstdecode decoder error: no suitable decoder found
[b42138d0] main decoder error: Codec `h264' (H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)) is not supported.
[b42138d0] main decoder error: Codec not supported
[b42138d0] main decoder error: VLC could not decode the format "h264" (H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10))
^C$

The same with .mov files:

$ LC_ALL=C cvlc test.mov 
VLC media player 3.0.3 Vetinari (revision 3.0.2-225-gc9e3360dd4)
[021ac140] dummy interface: using the dummy interface module...
[b4113eb0] gstdecode decoder error: no suitable decoder found
[b4113eb0] main decoder error: Codec `h264' (H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)) is not supported.
[b4113eb0] main decoder error: Codec not supported
[b4113eb0] main decoder error: VLC could not decode the format "h264" (H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10))
^C$

I tested cvlc in my archlinux 64 PC and both media files are played correctly.

I upgraded the system in both PCs yesterday (the 32 and the 64).

I tested today and cvlc now plays the .mov and ,mp4 videos.

I think that upgrading system solved the issue.
