System - openSUSE 11.2 “Emerald” KDE (with gnome base)
Player - vlc
I’m hoping to find a batch of codecs for my newly installed openSUSE OS. I have a very troublesome collection of .mkv files that took several codec packs to make them work. For a brief explination, I had tried haali and matroska both together and they still didn’t work on certain mkvs. I ended up using CCCP, but that’s win only as far as I can tell.
It took the latest update of CCCP to work on all of my mkvs. I’m hoping to save myself a few hours/days of googling this way. Any help would be appreciated.
I got partial success. I can live with having multiple players, but one batch of mkvs still does not work. I’m at step 2 of the checklist. I previously installed VLC, so I have everything plus libdvdcss
VLC is fine but it must come from Packman
If you follow the guide properly it can only come from Packman because you should have removed the VideoLan repo.
What codec is in use there? You could install mediainfo and mediainfo-gui from Packman, and use that to investigate the codec in use in the mkvs that are giving you problems. PackMan :: Information on Package MediaInfo
