OK, what I do in order to sort codecs and mplayer is to set up my software repositories with 4 and only 4 repositories (no others). Specifically OSS, Non-OSS, Update and Packman. Guidance here: Repositories/11.1 - openSUSE-Community

Then I go to YaST > Software > Software Management and change 'filter' to "search" and search for smplayer and mplayerplug-in and install those. That will pickup mplayer as a dependency. To get further codecs I install libffmpeg0, w32codec-all, xvidcore, libxvidcore4, and libquicktime0. I use Packman packaged versions (you can tell packman versions by the "pm" in the version number).

I could not find smplayer, mplayerplug-in, libffmpeg0, w32codec-all, xvidcore, libxvidcore4 in the search option.
so i could not able to install those.
plz suggest more.

That means you have not setup your software repositories with OSS, Non-OSS, Update, and Packman.

Please re-read this post:

You can easily tell what repositories are setup, by typing in a terminal or konsole:

zypper lr

I have added the same way as specified by adding community repository
Repositories/11.1 - openSUSE-Community.
But yast could not able to update the repository.


Now i tried a different way.
To add packman, i did this.
YaST -> Software -> Software Repositories. Then, in the menu: Configured Software Repositories-> Repositories.... Now hit the Add -> Community Repositories.
Note(copy) the community URL for packman. Finish.
Then go back to :
Add -> Specify URL
Paste the URL of packman.


Now the repository is updated. and i could able to see smplayer and all remaining codecs.

Now sound is not working.
While running xmms, it complains of to check
1. whether sound card is configured properly
2. correct output plug in is selected
3. no other program is blocking.

MPlayer, VLC are able to play videos but sound not working.

I think, the cause of the problem is "alsa player settings are reset to new values.

After running alsa-info.sh, this is the output.

Plz suggest more.

Sound is not working? Did you try the speaker-tests? SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE - how to test your sound

I need more information to give you a recommendation. A LOT more information. So please provide output of copying and pasting and executing the following, one line at a time, into a konsole / terminal:

rpm -qa | grep alsa
uname -a
rpm -q libasound2
rpm -qa | grep layer
rpm -qa | grep xmms
rpm -qa | grep xine
rpm -qa | grep ffmpeg
rpm -qa | grep vlc
zypper -lr

That last command should read:

Typing these command from memory (into a forum post) from a Windoze PC is always a bit trickier.

There is a problem there. The rpm I highlighted in RED shold NOT be on your system at the same time as the one in green. Your PC has both alsa-driver-kmp-default and alsa-driver-unstable-kmp-default. You need to remove alsa-driver-unstable-kmp-default. Then restart and test your sound.

You may have more problems, but in itself is enough to cause problems.

I have highlighted in red repos you have enabled that you should NOT have enabled. At least you should not have those enabled as a NEW user, who from what I have read (and please accept my apologies if this reads harsh) you don't know your way around the repos well enough to add those extra repos. Stick with OSS, Non-OSS, Update and Packman. No others. NONE. ONLY after you know enough to resolve problems that come up with having too many should you add more. Again, I don't believe you are at that stage and this will cause you problems.
