Hello
I have installed Leap 15.3 fine, but when I try to install the codecs using
sudo zypper install opi
opi codecs
I get all sorts of errors, about repositories not existing and saying certain things are not there for VLC etc.
Has anyone else had this problem? It all worked fine on 15.2. I have also tried the other ways (manually adding the repositories, and using YaST) and no matter what I do, it doesn’t work.
Thanks for any help.
I simply followed the instructions for 15.1 (https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/536314-Multimedia-Guide-for-openSUSE-Leap-15-) changing everything to 15.3 and then opened YaST, selected Repositories>Packman and selected the Switch system files to Packman option.
Hi Kermit and welcome to the forum!
Here is an inofficial guide explaining the code installation:
https://opensuse-guide.org/codecs.php
I am still on 15.2 so I can’t reproduce. But it seems to have helped others already.
I get all sorts of errors, about repositories not existing and saying certain things are not there for VLC etc.
This does not help, we need the complete command line and errors…
If you really followed that guide and used “*http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_Leap_15.1*/” as repository address that will not work for two reasons:
Try to use Index of /pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_15.3/ instead.
If that does not help you need to show what you did (i.e. the commands you used) and what the results were (i.e. the errors reported by the system).

Thanks for the replies. This time, I followed the instructions on the link John_Hudson gave, making the appropriate changes as suggested by susejunky.
Adding the repos - worked fine.

Where I had to select and option to continue, I chose [1]. It does seem to work now, but I would like to understand the errors.
Also, perhaps not directly connected but linked, VLC plays the video in one window and has the controls in another. How do I change this back to normal… I’ve looked everywhere!! VLC reports version 20210925 (is that a beta version?)
Thanks again.
Sorry I should have said that I used
zypper ar -f http://packman.jacobs-university.de/suse/openSUSE_Leap_15.3/ packman
for the packman repository having encountered the problem.
great then - this all looks good.
To understand the errors: by default, yast or zypper will not change the vendor of some package without warning, because this sometime means installing different other versions of programs, that are already installed. so it asks if you really want to change - in this case from suse-source to packman-source and it informs about what this will change in your programms.
As you requested the new packages from packman, this is allright. you should check twice, if the changes would deinstall software, and you almost never break dependencies if you don’t know what this means.
