You need to install the media stuff. openSUSE is well open it does not include by default any propritary software. How ever you are free to add what you may need.

I guess that is what you need it is difficult to know for sure when you run your words together
gogalthorp,thanks for your patience! i used to be a very good typist,but not any more!
after my post, i decided to switch from smplayer2 to vlc. packman had codecs for vlc,and the player.after the install, ivlc will play the mp4 moviethat smplayer2 and gnome gagged on. i think on this laptop vlc is all i 'lneed!i’ll stick with the lxde and enjoywhhat i have.thanks for your reply!heboland
