I recently tried installing Elisa under KDE, but ogg audio media won’t start playing. I’ve been able to play the same media with VLC and Kaffeine. Indexing in Elisa also appears to be successful. I’m running a fully patched installation of LEAP 15.6. I’m only using the OpenSUSE repos. I’m not using Packman or any additional repositories. Any suggestions? TIA.
How exactly is it looking? Is the file loading but not playing, or is it playing but there is no sound? I never had this kind of problem. What is the format of the file you are trying to play?
The OP already states that it’s ogg files

This was reported, it should be resolved but you could try to convert it into another format (with VLC for example) and have a look if it works.
If it works, the bug might not be fully fixed and you can file in KDE a bug report.
Sorry for the typo, I didn’t expressed myself very clearly.
There has been problems with .ogg formats and file endings (see the bug report above).
The bug report above, seems to point out that it’s not the .ogg file that is a problem, but the ending of the file name. Once .ogg is renamed to .opus it seems to work. Try to rename your file and see if this changes anything.
I just saw, that the bug is only solved upstream. Elisa is probably not updated to the latest version in Leap, which would explain why you got still hit by the bug.
I use Elisa but never had any problems, although I do not use .ogg for my audiofiles but .flac (since .flac is a lossless format and .ogg is lossy).
My files are named .oga, but are using the Vorbis codec versus the Opus codec. I’ll try a conversion to Opus, given that it succeeds Vorbis and see what that gets me.
What about adding .oga as a mime-type ?
Those .oga files are working in VLC and Kaffeine. Would the mime type be set in Elisa, or somewhere in the KDE settings?
Copy/Rename 1 file to .ogg and see if Elisa plays it.
I tried that. It didn’t work. Elisa displays the track data, but won’t go to play mode. There’s no response when you click on the play button. The track marker doesn’t advance, and the play button doesn’t change to a pause button.
Please fire up Elisa from a terminal window, then try to start playing the file, then look at the output in the terminal window

It looks like its having trouble opening the file.
It looks like renaming the file caused some kind of sync issue.
I relaunched Elisa without a file argument and let it re-index. I re-ran Elisa from the command line using the file as an argument:

It still didn’t play the track…
