Scroll down the page and you will find instructions for 11.3. That page gives instructions for 11.0, 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3.

You can use that link that @caf4926 gave you or if you wish to continue with the guide then run this first in the terminal:


zypper in lame libavcodec52 libavdevice52 ffmpeg libdvdnav4 libdvdread4 libquicktime0 libxine1 libxine1-codecs libxvidcore4 smplayer vlc w32codec-all xine-ui xvidcore

Then run

yast2

and go to Software -> Software Management. Then once you are in there click the “View” dropdown button and select Repositories. Click on the packman repo in the list. Click on “Switch system packages”.

However if you find this too hard use the link that @caf4926 gave you and that will work fine.
