Dear all,
I’m newbie on OpenSuse and I love to live with it for two weeks. I have a problem: I have some album on Google Music and I want to play it but fail. I’m using OpenSuse 13.1 and open webpage via Chromium. I install the OS by using the DVD I downloaded two weeks ago from opensuse.org. I also working in KDE environment. I’ve just updated the system (about 465 updates) last night.
Thanks for your reply. Any help is appreciate! With love.

I have no idea what google music is, but it seams you don’t have the packman repository or any of the restricted codecs installed (it’s a patent troll protection)
see the output of
**zypper lr -u
**if you don’t have packman add it
zypper ar -f http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_13.1/ packman
and then do a Full repository Vendor change for packman

Thank you very much, you’re so kind! I follow your advice (after dealing with guide in the chapter 13 in OpenSuse-guide.org: Add repository, Install something… but I cannot play music via web). And I click on the One click Install in the http://packman.links2linux.de/ and install (like what I did in the morning) but now my Firefox can play music at mp3.zing.vn, the Chromium cannot… My VLC still cannot play MP3 music.
*Note: Google Music can be accessed here: Google Play Musik ist nicht mehr verfügbar
*What will I do next? Thanks a lots.
is flash-plugin-11.2.202.491-release.x86_64 installed?
assuming the OS is 64bit
ps
what the output of cmd
rpm -q flash-player flash-plugin
Maybe they are using HTML5?
Make sure you have chromium-ffmpeg installed (not chromium-ffmpegsumo), it is available in the Packman repo.
If they use flash, you need to install chromium-pepper-flash (also from Packman). The Adobe flash-player will not work with Chromium.
My VLC still cannot play MP3 music.
This has nothing to do with Google Music or Chromium, and you already got advice how to “fix” that here:

Thank you very much, keellambert <3
I’m working with OpenSuse 13.1 i586 (32bit?!)!
Here is it:
nthkmf@linux-6ub2:~> sudo -i
root's password:
linux-6ub2:~ # rpm -q flash-player flash-plugin
flash-player-11.2.202.491-129.1.i586
package flash-plugin is not installed

I’ll install this now!
he’s using chromium from the oss repo that one does not have ffmpeg support and does not use packman’s extra rpm’s, that’s why he needs to do a full vendor change to packman.
even if it’s html5 without packman proporly configured he won’t be able to play aac/mp3 audio.
it’s really not that difficult I prefer using it via yast, there’s even a picture here:
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Vendor_change_update#Full_repository_Vendor_change
after you’ve added packman go to yast->software managment->reposetory view->select packman-> click on the blue link that sais switch system packages…
I love you wolfi323 <3, you’re my savior, I don’t know how did you know all of this, to me, this is so amazing! After installing chromium-ffmpeg and chromium-pepper-flash, my Chromium can play video and audio from mp3.zing.vn perfectly. I guest they use flash player, not like Youtube, I can play video on this site on Chromium normally. I’ll try to make my VLC works too 
Wrong. There is no chromium on Packman.
Again, he needs to replace chromium-ffmpegsumo (from the standard OSS repo) with chromium-ffmpeg (from Packman).
And this will not be installed automatically even if he does a full vendor switch to Packman.
even if it’s html5 without packman proporly configured he won’t be able to play aac/mp3 audio.
He will, if he installs chromium-ffmpeg from Packman.
And that only applies to HTML5.
For Flash, you need a flash plugin (chromium-pepper-flash), chromium-ffmpeg has no influence there.

I told him the same in his other thread already.
Wrong. There is no chromium on Packman.
yes there is

if he does a vendor change for packman’s chromium build the oss chromium-ffmpegsumo will be replaced with the working chromium-ffmpeg.
or he could install chromium-ffmpeg from packman.
I’m fairly certain that packman’s chromium will pull chromium-pepper-flash from packman too
I don’t think the non-oss repo carries google’s pepper-flash only the old npapi flash.
the simplest thing to do is add packman from yast repo management and then do a vendor switch to packman via yast software management.
No, there isn’t. That’s chromium-ffmpeg if you look closer.
Packman only has a chromium src rpm, which is used to build chromium-ffmpeg.
if he does a vendor change for packman’s chromium build the oss chromium-ffmpegsumo will be replaced with the working chromium-ffmpeg.
Ok, I’m not sure whether this is replaced automatically. It might be because it also provides chromium-ffmpegsumo.
or he could install chromium-ffmpeg from packman.
Yes, that’s what I wrote in the first place.

PackMan :: Package details for chromium-pepper-flash
No. Why should it?
But it will be installed automatically if you install freshplayer-plugin, because that requires it.
And freshplayer-plugin might be installed automatically, as it provides flash-player.
I don’t think the non-oss repo carries google’s pepper-flash only the old npapi flash.
That’s correct. chromium-pepper-flash is only available on Packman.
That’s why I wrote in my first reply that he should install chromium-pepper-flash from Packman.

Yes. Again, he was told to do that in his other thread already:
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/473214-Video-problems?p=2720771#post2720771
you’re right 
so here’s a simple copy paste for a working chromium (assuming he’s added packman)
sudo zypper in chromium-ffmpeg chromium-pepper-flash
he might get a warning that chromium-ffmpeg conflicts with chromium-ffmpegsumo and a choice what to do, he should chose replace.
I’m not really sure as I don’t use chromium but I believe google opensourced the chromium pdf viewer and that is no longer a shared object (separate package) but part of chromium.
Thank you I_A, <3 I did it as your advice a few minutes ago!
Exactly what I faced Thanks. I intend to use chrome but I install Chromium and it’s just fine for me now!
Thank you wolfi323, that’s all I added to system and everything’s OK now. Like a charm
