1-click install of h.264 codec fails

Check the advice given in this thread:

Multimedia codecs (h264 etc.) for fresh Leap 15.6

Playing an MP4/h264 video in VLC shows “Codec not supported”. Forum topcis tells about existing openH264, and also of using YaST to add Packman rep. Doing that and switching to it, it shows that many libav libs (libavcodec57, 58_134, libacformat58_76) and vlc-* libs are installed already. The first non-installed is libavformat57. So I wonder, if I’m at the right place: Is missing codecs in system packages the reason? What shall I do to have modern codecs available (not only in VLC)?

Also, show us the results from
