As today, i change my tumbleweed to slowrol. the issues is on tumbleweed, after i changed to slowrol, issue still same

Yes, spotify i already found an alternative which spotify-launcher from OpenSuse Repo. But, still needed solution can’t play youtube live only on firefox, i tried chromium (both version: AppImage + from opensuse repository)… hmm seems chromium doesn’t have that issue, the codec doesn’t missing and i can watch youtube live

Chromium comes with it’s own codecs AFAIK. You may need the Packman repo, but better wait until others step in.
Or use some flatpak. IME they are more reliable and up to date than appimages.

Ah i see, thanks for the explanation. This is my first time switch my linux daily driver from other linux distro to opensuse. So, i just need the next stable and patch for this update or install it with flatpak? Alright, maybe i will use chromium AppImage for now while i’m still waiting for package update.

If you’re having trouble with drm in chromium then you need to install the widevine package.

this issues only appear with built-in opensuse firefox. In chromium and others, this never happened

I suspect there is something missing or broken with the audio codecs in the current versions of Slowroll and Tumbleweed. That’s why when I try to play music using spotifyd from the openSUSE repos, I get this error:

Yeah, I realized too late that I should have read more carefully before posting.

Btw, finally i realize something. So, that is every common issues with multimedia codecs. I already see this one:

So, i will use chromium if i want to watch an live videos or other format which not conpatible codecs in official repos. And still using firefox for daily browser. Thanks guysss
