Revised and Simplified manual Method This assumes you already have the default: Oss, NON-OSS and Update repositories.
Step 1:
- Become super user in a terminal (su -). Learn how here
- Or watch video here
Step 2 (Main Multimedia sources)
- Add the necessary repositories by copying and pasting the following code into the su - terminal
Packman
Code:
zypper ar -f http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_12.1/ packman
For DVD Playback
Code:
zypper ar -f http://opensuse-guide.org/repo/12.1/ libdvdcss
Now we refresh them (a) to accept always and trust the signing key
Step 3 Adding the basic packages. Using the same su - terminal. Now carefully copy and paste the following:
FOR KDE USE THIS:
Code:
zypper in libdvdcss2 vlc libxine1-codecs k3b-codecs ffmpeg lame gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly-orig-addon w32codec-all MPlayer smplayer gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good libxine1 libdvdplay0 libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 xine-ui libmad0 ffmpeg sox libxvidcore4 xvidcore libavcodec52 libavdevice52 libvlccore4 libvlc5 lsb pullin-flash-player flash-player gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mp3 gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mpegdemux gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mpegmux gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good-extra k3b vlc-aout-pulse libquicktime0 gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-orig-addon gecko-mediaplayer
FOR GNOME/XFCE/LXDE USE THIS:
Code:
zypper in libdvdcss2 vlc libxine1-codecs ffmpeg lame gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly-orig-addon totem-browser-plugin w32codec-all MPlayer smplayer gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good libxine1 libdvdplay0 libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 xine-ui libmad0 ffmpeg sox libxvidcore4 xvidcore libavcodec52 libavdevice52 libvlccore4 libvlc5 totem totem-plugin-upnp totem-plugins nautilus-totem lsb pullin-flash-player flash-player vlc-aout-pulse gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mp3 gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mpegdemux gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mpegmux gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good-extra libquicktime0 gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-orig-addon
Step 4 When step 3 is complete: Now close the terminal and open:
Yast > Software > Software Management
- If you are working with a new install, this may automatically add a list of forced updates. Apply and run those first and then return to Software Manager
- Now use the package switcher on Packman. KDE and Gnome interface look different:
KDE:
Example of Packman switch in KDE
Gnome:

Video Example (KDE QT UI):
Switching to Packman Video
If you encounter dependency errors:
Eg: Errors You need to accept changes that allow vendor switch to Packman If you can't work it out. Ask in the forum.
That is it!
