The SDB says:
Look for the FFmpeg packages provided by the VLC repository. For example, the repository may provide packages such as ffmpeg-7 or ffmpeg-8 (depending on the openSUSE version).
But both are shown. Which one to install?

Maybe I should clarify a bit of the background why I try to use this repo.
For years on end I simply added the Packman repo and did the vendor switch to be sure that multi-media “functioned”.
Now things changed (several topics here). On the upgrade 15.6 > 16.0, I removed the Packman repo, did the zypper dup .... (as I did on earlier upgrades). But this time I did not add back Packman. There is the new open264 repo (do not know exactly what that is) and tried if I could live with this combination. Quite a while all went fine (I only view some Youtube and maybe other videos from newspapers). In the meantime I tried to follow the Packman discussions going on here.
Now quite recently Youtube videos refuse to load, they show the circular “I am loading” sign forever. Thus I though it might be a good idea to add the Videolan repo and the ffmpeg there as advised by @deano_ferrari , to check if that helps.
The question is: which one to use for Leap 16.0?
In case of answers like the last two, I will probably remove the repo and formulate a different question i a new topic.
Hi Henk. I put together that basic wiki page. On my Leap 16 install I chose the ffmpeg-8 version.

As explained in the other thread, the devs do not guarantee a backwards compatibility between versions, thus there where never an automatic upgrade between major ffmpeg versions. It was always the job of the user…
And it was always the case that all available ffmpeg versions where shown. As example here the output of the packman repo: ffmpeg-3, ffmpeg-4, ffmpeg-6, ffmpeg -7, ffmpeg-8, ffmpeg-9

I assume I should go for solution 1 to get rid of old stuff.
But maybe you should mention in the SDB that such messages may occur, to not let people go into panic mode.
Yes, choose solution 1 and don’t panic.
The VLC repository provides the FFmpeg 8 package together with its associated codec and filter libraries and other required dependencies.

OK, installation without further problems.
But the problem persists. Even a video a watched a few weeks ago will not load anymore. But that is off-topic here.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Henk. If you start a topic for that I’m sure we’ll be able to help.

Thanks, but I will refrain from that for the following embarrassing facts.
Tried on another system (basically the same installation history) in the house: no problem.
Trying on the original system and user with Konqueror: no problem.
Trying on the original system with another user (not used for many years): no problem.
Tried on the original system with Firefox and a new profile: no problem.
Switched back to the original profile: no problem!
Thus I can not even reconstruct my problem.
BTW I was hunting this not so much for the videos (nasty but one can live without) as for a banking login where the login succeeded, but after that I only got “there is some error”.
Ia will now go and try that bank again. Who knows.
Some kind of temporary internet-related service glitch?

No idea. BTW the bank still protests.

A bit of a side step, but @hcvv also doesn’t have the CDN ( openSUSE-repos- Leap ) installed / enabled.@hcvv Not having that would have been avoided when using the migration tool. Which is, as per https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade the preferred method. The tool is a perfectly readable bash script, so no need to not trust it. It takes care of everything, incl. enabling the CDN service. Even in NL this actually helps improving the update/upgrade experience. What the openh264 is for, was explained in multiple threads , so I am slightly surprised you don’t know what it is, but “opensuse openh264” search shows https://en.opensuse.org/OpenH264 ( expected

No, I did not use the “preferred method”. Is that a crime and should I have avoided showing proof of it?
You seem to think that not having the CDN URLs is something to be avoided. I don’t.
That is fine. I never discouraged anyone, not even in the Netherlands, to use the migration tool. So what am I accused of?
Again, fine. But that does not man that I have to spend time in studying all those threads. I trusted that they were offered for a good reason as I trust so many things I am offered by openSUSE. It is not needed to be an expert on all and everything to enjoy openSUSE.

I was merely trying to enlighten you by providing some important info. If that is not appreciated, I will gladly refrain from doing so and apologize for wasting your time.
