no video playback with mpg or wmv. output listing attached.

no video playback from mpg or wmv files with kaffiene or vlc. i did
the one-click update for restricted formats, which worked ok for me
with 11.1, but it did not seem to work with 11.3.

moved to the ten-steps check. all of the rpm queries were clean
excpet some missing gstreamer packages, which have been installed.
still no luck. so below are the requested rpm listings.

one other thing i noticed - when i run xine i get the error at the
end of this message. it seems that this may be related to video
driver problems? i am running an nvidia fx-540 with nvidia drivers.

suggestions please.

thanks.

Manually scroll thru the packman list in Software Management view by repo and use the version tab and radio button to ensure you have Packman versions where possible. For example: xine-ui

or in gnome

A tiresome task, but worth it

When I installed the packman packages for the gstreamer and everything — I had to reboot before everything worked perfectly.

Sounds about right. Good.

somewhere along the line i had. flash and some other format would work, but wmv and mpg would not. i still have one library, gstreamer…mp3… that is opensuse and can’t get it to change.

but, at this suggestion i rebooted again and it all now seems to be working.

thank you gentlemen.
