Aha, than why I wasn't able to change vendor by command ? Code: sudo zypper dup --from "Packman Repository" --allow-vendor-change I thought that it should be the same result?

If you need a not installed package, you must install them. Thats what opi does, it has installed some special codecs by an script.

Thats what opi does, it has installed some special codecs by an script. This is clear to me, but why isn't that codec installed by default in the first place? I use the switch mechanism after installation already for years. Never added something extra (either first from OSS before the switch, or after the switch direct from Packman). I never missed something with respect to multi-media. Always though that the basic installation has all (without the full functionality).

I think some of the codecs are pulled in via recommends. People who disable recommends may miss some of those codecs.
openSUSE Leap 15.2; KDE Plasma 5.18.5;

I don't know anything special what could cause this. I tried allow nonfree codecs as usually, but.... Never mind, now everything is ok, thank you.
Here's what opi does: https://github.com/openSUSE/opi/blob.../opi#L532-L572 It does a dup, then installs a set of codecs that seem to not be pulled by a default installation, even with recommends. I took the dup route and don't have some of these additional codecs, but don't recall experiencing codec problems. OP must be needing a very odd codec that's being provided by one of these additional codecs installed by opi.
openSUSE Tumbleweed
Recently updates from Packman repo have been failing, and http://packman.inode.at replies with error 403 - Forbidden. I selected a different mirror from http://packman.links2linux.org/mirrors and it works. I don't know why the nicely-named Austrian mirror is disabled. I was shocked by the small number of mirrors available, with none in the Americas.
