During the last couple of months I have been trying to run one of those Internet-TV-programs on my system openSUSE 12.3 (32-bit), unfourtunately without success.
First of all, VLC does only play Audio-CDs, but fails to play any Internet TV or Radio program (Freebox TV, Channels.com). The error message reads for all kinds of files in FreetuxTV WebTV Manager
http://webtv-aarh-9.stofa.dk:80/179_01.m3u8
Kein passendes Decodermodul:
VLC unterstützt das Audio- oder Videoformat “h264” nicht. Leider können Sie daran nichts ändern.
Kein passendes Decodermodul:
VLC unterstützt das Audio- oder Videoformat “mp4a” nicht. Leider können Sie daran nichts ändern.
Secondly, freetuxTV 0.6.5 ist installed and starts up well, however, there is no video nor audio when a WebTV or WebRadio channel is selected: it says playing … and for some channels the time is running but there is no output at all. The database was syncronized and some Web TV / Web Radio channels / groups added.
An error occurred while playing channel ‘Arte WebTV’ : http://webtv-aarh-8.stofa.dk/180_01.m3u8
If the problem persist, you can report that the link is dead at FreetuxTV WebTV Manager
Thirdly, Miro does not install at all. YaST terminates during the installation process
File ‘./Essentials/i586/gstreamer-0_10-utils-0.10.36-11.11.i586.rpm’ not found on medium ‘ftp://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/packman/suse/12.3’
http://packman.links2linux.de/download/Miro/1476090/miro-5.0.4-1.38.i586.rpm
PackMan :: Informationen zum Paket Miro
And, MediathekView (installed via YaST) crashes. I also tried amarok, MPlayer, …
Effectively, there is no single working program to watch internet tv or listen to internet radio for quite some time. FreetuxTV would be the preferred one to use. Does anybody know some advice how to proceed? Must a user’ account be part of a special group like dialup, audio, video or so in order to use these software? Thanks a lot.
