Comment 2 for bug 290068

As reported, Freeplayer isn't able to work with VLC 0.9.x (Intrepid and newer release of Ubuntu).

As described on Ubuntu-fr.org (http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/freeplayer), the workaround is :

Edit the file : '/usr/bin/vlc-fbx'.

Delete "–wx-systray" from the file

Replace : –config="~/.vlc/vlcrc-fbx"
by : –config="~/.config/vlc/vlcrc"

Then install libavcodec-unstripped-51 for Intrepid ;
and libavcodec-unstripped-52 for Jaunty.

Maybe is it possible to commit a patch?
