I am using open suse 11.4, and have been trying to play video files from a web site, but when I click on the play link all that happens is that it goes to the page where the video should be but it doesn’t load or play, not sure if it is a flash or java problem. the file plays without problem in Ubuntu 10.10 and also Win 7. it is a video file from “http://www.woodsmithtips.com/2011/03/10/doweling-jigs/”.
Any help would be appriciated:dont-know:
It plays for me, but it’s a bit messed up in FF4 with the flash bug
Tried chromium and it’s perfect
how do I get chromium, and make it play the files? thanks
become su in a terminal
use your mouse to copy and paste this code to the terminal:
zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/11.4:/Contrib/standard/ contib
zypper ref
(a) to accept
zypper in chromium
It will install some dependencies too
That’s it

I recommend installing gecko-mediaplayer too
You should have Packman so it’s just
zypper in gecko-mediaplayer

I think it’s not possible to change the title of the whole thread (at least I couldn’t find how), but you can reply in advanced mode (button <go advanced> in the simple reply) and edit the post title, as I did with this.
I can do it, but it’s only effective web side. NNTP users will not see it, though they will see what @brunomcl did
