How to install win32 codecs?
You must add the Packman repo from the community list
then
zypper in w32codec-all
Check this
Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide - openSUSE Forums
cat /etc/SuSE-release
openSUSE-11.1
No, that is certainly not the COMPLETE output of that command.
openSUSE 11.1 (i586)
VERSION = 11.1
How would i add pacman repo?
What’s the command?
Ok, so you actually have a 32 Bit installation.
Although you won’t need those codecs for > 99,5% of all videos, proceed as descrribed in the linked posted by caf4926.
Read the tutorial!
No, it’s not, it may be up but not OK.
Downloading selecting Index of /pub/packman/suse/11.1
Why do we need libstdc++33 to be installed as dependency for w32codec-all?
What does libstdc++33 do?
No idea. And I have to go out now so I don’t have time to look it up for you, sorry. But someone else may be able to. But I shouldn’t worry about it.
In any case I am not sure w32codes have anything to do with Real Media files. You may have to get the RealPlayer.rpm from here and install it manually.

Install from su terminal with
rpm -ihv *packagename*
When done - open a terminal and type realplay
Allow it to configure mozilla helpers but uncheck updates.
After installing w32codec-all can play .rm/.rmvb files with kaffeine.
Great, that’s solved then. Good watching and listening.
Mind: AFAIK there should be no need for w32codecall. Packman’s libxine-codecs should take care of it.
rpm -qa | grep xine
phonon-backend-xine-4.1.3-4.2.9
xinetd-2.3.14-129.28
libxine1-1.1.15-23.4.1
libxine1-pulse-1.1.15-23.3.3
libxine1-gnome-vfs-1.1.15-23.3.3
Did i miss anything else?
Yes, you missed installing packman packaged versions of libxine1. Those are Novell/SuSE-GmbH packaged versions and they are crippled for proprietary multimedia.
