I am trying to play videos from terminal using this command
vlc my_video.avi
The error that I am getting when I try to run the command--
VLC media player 2.1.4 Rincewind (revision 2.1.4-0-g2a072be)
[0x8663910] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
[0xaafddf80] filesystem access error:cannot open file the_file_path (no such file or directory)
[0xb040a990] main input error:open of 'file://the_file_path' failed

Quick test using "VLC media player 2.1.6 Rincewind (revision 2.1.6-0-gea01d28)" on 14.04 release has no problem when runningvlc file.mp4in Terminal. Probably something wrong with the file path?

There must be something wrong with your filename. I tried two things.
vlc wrongfileName.mp4and it gave me the error you described.
vlc correctFileName.mp4this one gave different error output, but the file did open, so I suspect you made a typo or need to quote the path if it has spaces or special characters
second error for reference:

Quick test using "VLC media player 2.1.6 Rincewind (revision 2.1.6-0-gea01d28)" on 14.04 release has no problem when running
