i try with VLC OpenSuse 12.2 and 12.3 but get similar result.
please help me… please :’( :’(
Add the Packman repo and install “vlc-codecs”.
Or rather have look here: http://opensuse-community.org/ , that will take care of all your problems.
(that’s one of the first search results when googling for “opensuse multimedia”)
And btw, why are you posting this in the “Pre-release/beta” forum?
13.1 has been released nearly 5 months ago!
You can ask for this thread to be moved to the proper forum by clicking on the triangle below it.
thanks, but i’m beginer, please explain your answer…
There’s really not much to explain.
Click on that link I gave you, and click on one of the 1-click installs there (and maybe read the text before… ).
PS: For VLC you have to start YaST->Software Mangement afterwards, and install the package “vlc-codecs”.
Or just type this in a terminal window (konsole f.e.):
You have the Packman repo and the VLC repo active (and the latter one for 12.3 and 13.1).
That is of course bound to give problems.
In particular, VLC and Packman have different versions of some libraries, having them both BREAKS your multimedia.
So remove the VLC repo(s) and switch all packages to their Packman versions (don’t fear, Packman has VLC as well):
sudo zypper rr 3 4
sudo zypper dup --from 2
After that, your videos should play fine in all your players.
Then a few more notes about your repos:
remove that [noparse]KDE:Distro:Factory[/noparse], that’s for 12.3. And especially if you’re a beginner, you should not use [noparse]KDE:Distro:Factory[/noparse] anyway.
Better stay with KDE 4.11.5 included in openSUSE 13.1, or if you do want the latest one, use KDE:Current, that’s more stable.
See here if you want to do that: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_repositories
And that home:buschmann23 repo is also for 12.3, better remove that as well.
multimedia:libs is also for 12.3. Change the URL to …/openSUSE_13.1 or remove it.
You can add/remove repos and change them also in YaST->Software Repositories.
You should NEVER use repos for a different openSUSE versions than the one you’re running, unless you’re 110% sure what you are doing.
Before i do this, VLC play my files but not able to show video and only play them sound but now not play anything and change error massage:
in mp4 files:
No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "h264". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "mp4a". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
Yes. Do what I told you and VLC will work. (and xine, amarok, kaffeine, dragon player; for kmplayer you would need to install MPlayer as well I think)
You can do it in Yast as well if you prefer:
enter Software Repositories and remove the 2 VLC repos there
enter Software Management, click on “View” and select “Repositories”, then select the Packman repository in the list on the left, and click on “Switch Packages to the versions in this Repository” above the package list on the right. http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Vendor_change_update#Full_repository_Vendor_change
PS: If you already did that and VLC still doesn’t work (I’m not sure how to understand your last post), then check again that you have “vlc-codecs” installed (in YaST->Software Management f.e.), this message normally comes when this is missing.
If yes, please post a list of your installed vlc packages:
