Hello,
I am using opensuse 13.2 KDE.
I have some problem with playing the flash in the browsers.
I have chromium and firefox.
I have installed latest ‘abode flash plugin’ and ‘chromium-pepper-flash’.
But still there are lots of site in which I can’t play the flash video.
e.g I can’t watch any trailer from Imdb.
Do I need to install something else in order to play those videos?
Thanks,
Rahul
No My guess is that the difference in flash versions between Linux and Windows is the problem and the site is blocking any version less then the Windows version. AFAIK nothing can be done at your end
as far as I can tell imdb uses html5 and not flash I’m thinking you don’t have packman setup properly
do you have packman have you done a full vendor change with packman, please tell us your repo’s

Why do you have a leap repo on a 13.2 install??? DO NOT mix OS versions:O

this is very bad you have the OSS LEAP repo on 13.2 I’m amazed your system works.
first remove the above repo
sudo zypper rr 5
then do a full refresh to the 13.2 update repo to make sure you don’t have any LEAP packages
sudo zypper dup --from 12
then do a full vendor change to packman to get multimedia working
sudo zypper dup --from 2
note your update repo is #13 but #5 is a bad and dangerous repo for you, after you remove #5, your update repo will become #12
I have faced some problems while doing
sudo zypper dup --from 12

After that I did
sudo zypper dup --from 2
Which was successfull.
But still the browser is not playing the html5 video.
Do I need to do something else.
the problem above was repo #4 if you keep the install disk enabled you’d need to put it in to avoid those errors, as there are newer packages online it’s best to disable the install dvd
sudo zypper mr -d 4
Hi,
Now I am having a confusion.

3 Problems:
Problem: problem with installed package kernel-default-3.16.6-2.1.i586
Problem: problem with installed package kernel-desktop-3.16.6-2.1.i686
Problem: vlc-codecs-2.2.2-3.2.i586 requires vlc-noX = 2.2.2-3.2, but this requirement cannot be provided
Problem: problem with installed package kernel-default-3.16.6-2.1.i586
Solution 1: deinstallation of kernel-default-3.16.6-2.1.i586
Solution 2: keep obsolete kernel-default-3.11.10-17.2.i586
Choose from above solutions by number or skip, retry or cancel [1/2/s/r/c] (c):
What should I do?
there’s one more problem I didn’t notice previosly, you have the vlc repo, the vlc repo only provides vlc and might break packman, packman on the other side provides vlc and a lot of other multimedia related packages, so remove the vlc repo.
the error you are reciving is because packman has vlc 2.2 and the update has vlc 2.1 so run zypper dup with both the update and packman repo’s (remove the vlc repo #1)
sudo zypper rr 1
sudo zypper dup --from 10 --from 1
Again the above command is correct only if you REMOVE VLC as currently VLC is repo #1 and packman is #2
Hi,
every time I ran I am getting the following message

Here also I pick 2.
Is it the right way to do it?
Hi,
The html5 is still not working 
What should I do more?
you had a few bad repo’s
did you remove vlc your former #1 repo if not that broke html5, after doing dup with the update repo most packman packages will be switched to the oss ones that do not support patented multimedia,
again post your repo list
zypper lr -d
about your kernel warning again I don’t want to guess as I might make a mistake but your current kernel should come from the update repo if you removed the LEAP repo just running
sudo zyppper up
should update your kernel to the current version.
a not so short summary:
to be clear the vlc repo works but it breaks packman from where we get all our multimedia, the vlc version on packman is the same as the one from vlc, so remove the vlc repo, the leap repo and the usb/dvd.
then run
sudo zypper up
to update your system
then run
sudo zypper dup --from "Packman Repository"
this should fix html5 issues in firefox, for chromium you might need to install chromium-ffmpeg from packman although I think that by doing the above command chromium-ffmpeg is installed automatically
just in case run
sudo zypper in chromium-ffmpeg
Hi,
Yes I removed the old repo #1.
now it is

Hi,
I did
sudo zypper dup --from "Packman Repository"
But the html5 in firefox is still not working.
But the chromium is working fine after the update of “chromium-ffmpeg”.
Thanks for that.
Is there anything else that I am missing for firefox
For what it is worth Imdb is also broken here and can no longer play video on Food Network which I used to not long ago. Some sites simply refuse to acknowledge anything but Windows users. Most other sites work fine.
Hi,
That is really sad :(.
Thanks for the reply.
I really hope they will change it soon.
Send them a message. They probably don’t even test their code for Linux
Hi,
i send the the message .
hope they will fix it soon.
Hmm seems all my problems are with quicktime format
