vlc-codecs is missing from the list, but as you have vlc-codec-gstreamer vlc will use gstreamer instead of libvlc for playback
vlc will work as a gstreamer frontend
The versions available in the VideoLAN and Packman repositories seem to be the same, but should I “switch system versions” to those in Packman, or alternatively upgrade using Packman with the VLC repository disabled?
You should only use from Packman since they may get out of sync. Of course you need to have one or the other set as vendor and never use zypper dup for updating
The VLC repo only provides VLC and some basic necessities to go with it
Packman provides VLC plus a whole multitude of other stuff
The two repos added to the same system will conflict
You can use the VLC repo alone, if you can live with that minimal provision.
Otherwise, if you want a broad range multimedia experience, then I suggest using just Packman
You can add other repos with Packman, just not ones that are multimedia oriented
Hope that makes sense
I found that vlc-codecs depends on vlc-codec-gstreamer，and vlc-codec-gstreamer will Turn vlc into a gstreamer front end.
So,if I want to use “pure vlc-base player”,I can’t install “vlc-codecs”.Is that right?

Well, when I try to install vlc-codes, the screen is displayed：

How do I install vlc-codecs without having to install vlc-codec-gstreamer at the same time?(In command line,not yast)
the vlc repo for LEAP 42.3 (build by the vlc devs) is up and running http://download.videolan.org/SuSE/Leap_42.3/
but no vlc 3.0 package there
you can get vlc 4.0 beta from packman as it would seam the 3.0 branch went gold but hasn’t been published yet as both packman and vlc carry vlc 2.2.6
Just a note to say thank you! Worked perfectly, went from no multimedia to everything. This was way better than kid fit i pitched about codecs for v13.1x.
well the vlc devs have published a vlc 3.0.2 for LEAP 42.3 but packman hasn’t build it for LEAP 42.3 I’m guessing it’s a dependency issue as 3.0 is up and running for both TW and LEAP 15
LEAP 42.3 users can get vlc 3.0 from the vlc repo but seeing how LEAP 15 is around the corner (release date end of may) I don’t think messing with an extra repo is worth it you’re better off installing the 15 RC or waiting a few weeks and upgrading your whole OS
The OpenSUSE Leap is indeed a huge leap, allowing users to run a distro that has the same DNA of SUSE Linux Enterprise. Like any other operating system, some work is needed to get it set up for optimal use.
