Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide
Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide 11.0 by caf4926 see also below for openSUSE-11.1 The purpose of this guide is to try and simplify what some have found to be a tricky process. There exist 'OneClick' options for this. Experienced users, at least as far as I am aware, do not use the 'OneClick' method. Keep in mind this was written for openSUSE 11.0 – You will be Working from Yast – Software – Software Management /& Repositories. [for 11.1 see next post below] Some basic Repositories You Must Have:
These repositories should be in your repositories list from Installation. If Not, add them. Additional Repositories You will need:
N.B. You will install one package from VLC: libdvdcss – That's it!! Then REMOVE this repo. Install this Package FIRST. Ultimately you need these 4 key repositories. Please observe carefully the Priority settings! Quote:
Now we can move on to everything else: But first you need to know something of the installation process. Using Yast – Software – Software Management you can filter by Repositories and so go to the repository you need to work from. In our case it will be the Packman Repository. Installed Packages have a tick in the check box, Packages with Blue text mean they are updates – Packages showing Red text mean they are roll-backs. In the case of a New Installation it is unlikely that there will be any Red packages. If you see blue packages in the Packman repo – do the following:- Looking at the menu buttons along the top of the GUI, select 'Package' and in the drop box select 'Update all in this list if Newer version Available'. Now accept. **In Gnome this option is not available, but there is a work around to get the QT GUI here: How To Get QT zypper GUI in GNOME YAST - openSUSE Forums If you receive a dependency error, look to accept the 'Vendor Change' option to resolve it. For eg: Amarok from a default install of KDE will be a Blue package and will update, but you will need to confirm 'Vendor Change' to Packman. If you can't work out what to do, save the error to file by clicking the 'other' button in the error box. Then paste that info in to a question in the forum. When Yast finishes it will ask if you want to install more? Select Yes. Now filter by repository again and go back to Packman. You now need to mark for installation the following – some of which may auto add to install by dependency as you work through the list. libavcodec52 libdvdnav4 libdvdplay0 libdvdread4 libffmpeg0 libquicktime0 libxine1 libxine1-codecs libxvidcore4 smplayer vlc w32codec-all xine-ui xvidcore OPTIONAL: for better media playback in your browser eg; apple, divx, wmv. Add these, both from Packman gnome-mplayer gecko-mediaplayer (several users (RedDwarf) package a newer version of this which may provide added compatibility.) This list is by no means comprehensive and depending on your system and chosen desktop environment, you may need further adjustment. You may also want to use the search box and type realplayer to install this too. It should be noted that FLASHPLAYER is installed by default at install and should just work. If it does not - Post your question/problem in the forum. Thanks to RedDwarf for this check list: Check your multimedia problem in ten steps - openSUSE Forums 'oldcpu' has a 'sticky' here: Welcome to multimedia sub-area - openSUSE Forums Quote:

Re: Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide
Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide UPDATED FOR 11.2 The purpose of this guide is to try and simplify what some have found to be a tricky process. There exist 'OneClick' options for this. Experienced users, at least as far as I am aware, do not use the 'OneClick' method. This is a re-write for openSUSE 11.2 – You will be Working from Yast – Software – Software Management /& Repositories. Some basic Repositories You Must Have:
N.B. You will install one package from VLC: libdvdcss – That's it!! Then REMOVE this repo. Install this Package FIRST. Ultimately you need these 4 key repositories. Please observe carefully the Priority settings! Quote: # | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh | Priority | 1 | packman | packman | Yes | Yes | 90 | 2 | Updates | Updates | Yes | Yes | 99 | 3 | Non-oss | Non-oss | Yes | Yes | 99 | 4 | Oss | Oss | Yes | Yes | 99 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now we can move on to everything else: But first you need to know something of the installation process. Using Yast – Software – Software Management you can filter by Repositories and so go to the repository you need to work from. In our case it will be the Packman Repository. Installed Packages have a tick in the check box, Packages with Blue text mean they are updates – Packages showing Red text mean they are roll-backs. In the case of a New Installation it is unlikely that there will be any Red packages. If you see blue packages in the Packman repo – do the following:- Viewing the Packman repo in 11.2 you will see a new feature which lets you switch vendor to Packman see: Switch to Packman Versions Accept. You will need to restart Software Management: You now need to mark for installation the following – some of which may auto add to install by dependency as you work through the list. (please remember some packages may not be available due to changes in packaging. We update this list regularly.) A zypper option is: Code:
zypper in libavcodec52 libdvdnav4 libdvdread4 libffmpeg0 libquicktime0 libxine1 libxine1-codecs libxvidcore4 smplayer vlc w32codec-all xine-ui xvidcore libdvdnav4 libdvdplay0 libdvdread4 libffmpeg0 libquicktime0 libxine1 libxine1-codecs libxvidcore4 smplayer vlc w32codec-all xine-ui xvidcore OPTIONAL: for better media playback in your browser eg; apple, divx, wmv. Add these, both from Packman gnome-mplayer gecko-mediaplayer (several users (RedDwarf) package a newer version of this which may provide added compatibility.) Index of /repositories/home:/RedDwarf/openSUSE_11.2 Having added all these - Now go back to Software Management - Filter to Packman and do this: ImageBam - Fast, Free Image Hosting and Photo Sharing (Currently in 11.2 RC2 when gecko-mediaplayer is installed a bug crashes Firefox. If this happens, just remove gecko-mediaplayer) This list is by no means comprehensive and depending on your system and chosen desktop environment, you may need further adjustment. It should be noted that FLASHPLAYER is installed by default at install from a DVD and should just work. If it does not - Post your question/problem in the forum. Thanks to RedDwarf for this check list: Check your multimedia problem in ten steps - openSUSE Forums 'oldcpu' has a 'sticky' here: Welcome to multimedia sub-area - openSUSE Forums Quote: ONE CLICK OPTIONS 1-click-collection - openSUSE-Community KDE USERS Please note. You will have decide what your requirements are with certain packages such as K3B and AMAROK. I use kde4-k3b and the codecs to match from Packman But Amarok from official repositories.
