As topic when i play AVI-video (video/x-msvideo)
Sound lags or go to fast.
When i play musik MP3-ljud (audio/mpeg) sound is awesome
By how much ? 1 or 2 seconds lagging or ahead, … or a completely different speed (such as sounding like chipmunks, or like a deep base talker ? ).
While the video is playing, there is a vlc menu item: tools > track synchronisation that you can try to tune
Higher bitrate lags more hd quality sounds like **** some times to fast then to slow it seems some kind of reading problem.
Low bitrate pictures and music no soundproblem.
im gonna try tuning now…
If you have packman packaged ffmpeg/libffmeg0 installed, try using “ffplay”.
ie
ffplay somevideo.avi
Do you get same problem?
What graphic hardware? nVidia ? ATI ? Intel ?
If nVidia, is it VDPAU capable?
This was weird now sound is perfect but picture sometimes freze and it takes like 30 sec for video to start?
Im on ati HD4650
Actually i dont know what packman is and i can not find the ffmpeg/libffmeg0 package in the softwaremanager…
Please read here:
Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide - openSUSE Forums
Packman are the largest packager of 3rd party packaged rpms for openSUSE. Their web site is here: PackMan :: home
BUT imho it is better to install packman packaged apps from one’s softare package manager, which means add packman to one’s repository list.
You really MUST read the following 2 stickie:
I am on 11.2 havent seen any packman in my software manager,and i have to say it is an strange way to go.
Heres a big advance for the synaptic packagehandler as ubuntu uses i will have to say.
why if I HAVE TO HAVE IT ISNT packman the packagehandler???
same with the 1clickinstall system well it works if you are on the last years version???
11.2 support ?? 2011??
Another outdated link why can i not install the advanced package tool with 11.2 only me???
That is because you did not read through the links I gave you.
We have a saying in english. … “You can lead a horse to water, but you can not make them drink”.
It is EASY to add the Packman packager repository to your openSUSE software package manager. The discription how to do it is with the links on the URLs I provided to you. Specifically, if you look here there is detailed guidance. Repositories/11.2 - openSUSE-Community
but the problem I see does not stop there. From what I have read, your familiarity with openSUSE is lacking. You do not have someone you know who can sit down in person beside you and teach you. Hence you must read to make up for that.
We have another saying in English … “Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime”
So I can just give you detail on adding Packman, and I have helped you today. Tomorrow you will come with a dozen other questions. But if you read the links I gave you, you will learn enough that I will be asking you for help.
The Ubuntu way is not the openSUSE way. I do not like the Ubuntu way. Many of us do not like the Ubuntu way. There is another saying in English … and if I may be allowed to modify it without insulting anyone, let me say: “Render unto Ubuntu those things that are Ubuntu’s, and render unto openSUSE those that are openSUSE’s”
In openSUSE we use zypper. IMHO it is better than apt.
Please read here: Zypper/Usage/11.2 - openSUSE Again, I already gave you a summary page with that link. But you have not read it.
I can “lead you to water”, but I can not make you drink.
we have a saying where i come from small man makes himself funny over people who do not understand .And that is what you are trying to do so laugh laugh your ass off you small person.
English isnt my language .
Vi har ett ordspråk i sverige. Små människor gör sig lustiga över människor som inte förstår.
An APT- Howto might be an option for my pygmean brain i guess because i do not want to have any rootkits!
zypper remove fglrx **** DIDNT WORK how good is that
That is because either there is no fglrx. ie either the name that you provided was wrong, or if the name is correct, then it is not present. Zypper did precisely what you asked.
I gave you a link with instructions on Zypper. Did you read it?
Zypper/Usage/11.2 - openSUSE
If you wish to see if there is ANY rpm with the letters “fglrx” in the name, simply type:
rpm -qa '*fglrx*'
where “-qa” means query all , and ‘fglrx’ has “*” as a wild card that can be no character, or one character or many characters. Thus ‘fglrx’ means any rpm with “fglrx” in the file name. That will give you the CORRECT sequence that you can then use.
zypper can not read your mind, and so it gave you the exact answer to the command you sent, ie it tried to remove “fglrx” and there was no such rpm called only “fglrx”. Again, read the links I provided.
loggern, no one is laughing.
But you need to try to contain your frustration, and do some reading.
If we were in the same office, I would sit down beside you and provide detailed guidance as helpful as I can.
But we are not together in the same office, … so the BEST that I can do is try to motivate you to read the documentation.
Indeed, and you definitely have my respect with your skill in English. I can only wish that I had your skill in another language. But I don’t , and all I can do is nod my head with respect, because your english is far better than my skill in your language will ever be.
Reference ATI hardware, one big advantage that ATI drivers (and multimedia applications) for MS-Windows have over ATI drivers (and multimedia applications) for Linux, is the ATI drivers/applications for MS-Windows take advantage of ATI Avivo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With AVIVO , the ATI graphic card can offload the video decoding, encoding, and post-processing from a computer’s CPU to a compatible GPU. Which means videos will be much smoother, and the sort of lag you see will not happen in MS-Windows. Unfortunately this capability is not present for Linux. The ATI drivers for Linux are not as good as the ATI drivers for Windows.
In the case of nVidia, the MS-Windows uses the nVidia Pure Video Nvidia PureVideo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia capability, where the Linux equivalent to Pure Video is VDPAU VDPAU - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . Hence with VDPAU a Linux player that can use nVidia VDPUA will offload the video decoding of High Definition videos from the CPU to the GPU. And hence even on old computers, with a nVidia card and the right driver/software, one can smoothly play High Definition video.
But you have ATI hardware - so lets try and find a solution for ATI hardware.
So back to ATI, I have a Dell Studio 1537 laptop with an ATI 3450HD graphics. I find when playing back High Definition Videos on that laptop, I obtain the smoothest play back with the program “ffplay” (where ffplay is packaged with ffmpeg/libffmpeg). ie type:
ffplay some-hd-video.avi
… while there is ffmpeg code in both MPlayer and vlc, for some reason those applications do not play back HD video as well on ATI hardware, possibly because of something to do with the configuration/compilation options of ffmpeg when those apps are compiled by the packagers.
Good luck in your efforts to setup the Packman repository and install Packman packaged multimedia applications (replacing any Novell/SuSE-GmbH versions with Packman packaged versions).
Well thx for taking time .
But its gonna be an sudo apt-get-uninstall open suse11.2
Everything is just to complicated you can not watch an image without needing the full packman etc etc
No i just go another way good luck can some1 plz take all these links away no1 is gonna use them anyway (wonder why)
ooh by the way these links i have reed
Its to bad perfect tools searching for every depending you need for the program you wanna install/uninstall forget them much more easy reading 45 pages of howto install/uninstall dependings
in a strange language who does not wanna do that instead …
Hope you all have fun out there maybe see yaall around
loggern , best of luck and best wishes in your openSUSE experience.
I am afraid, thou, if I had to make a prediction, my prediction is you will be jumping ship soon and leaving openSUSE to go to another distribution.
Those tools (synaptic/apt) that you like may be good for Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat and other distributions, but for openSUSE, the way to go is zypper, YaST, and Smart. Anything else will simply let you down and I’m afraid create the wrong impressions about openSUSE.
Those links also give important guidance wrt setting up your multimedia, setting up your repositories to avoid breakage and conflict, etc … Without that knowledge, you will have trouble, and will blaime openSUSE for things where the problem lies because your knowledge was lacking.
But I do hope you mange to succeed with your approach (even though I believe it is likely to fail).
Lets read links novell opensuse 11.2 firday 20/11
from the APT HOWTO:
Installing APT
APT is included with the latest openSUSE, but it’s not installed by default. To install it, simply open up YAST and go to the Software module of YAST and type apt in the search box. This will install the latest version of APT as well as the required libraries. You may also wish to search for synaptic. This will install the Synaptic program, which is the graphical interface for APT. Once APT and Synaptic are installed, you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list with your favourite text editor. This file contains a list of all package repositories.
WOW AWESOME IS THAT EASY OK LETS GO TO THE ELEPHANTDIRECTORY N DO THE SEARCH.
lets see APT search what do we get here?
python-rechaptcha no its not this 1
python-django-simple-captcha na it is not that 1
rubygem-recaptcha WHOPPIE THERE ITS NOT!!
And the list goes on with another 50 NOT right APT.
Yes you might be right im not gonna waste my life searching for the possibility to listen to my music im gonna spend 5 bucks playing it load!
loggern, I think that wiki page APT - openSUSE is out of date. I just checked OSS repository for 11.2
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/
and I see no indication that apt is included in 11.2.
I also did a search on webpin (an openSUSE rpm search engine) and I see no indication that apt is included in 11.2: Webpin
Apt was included with 11.1. Hence that wiki to the best of my knowledge is not applicable to 11.2 but only is applicable to 11.1 and earlier.
Sorry to read you chased down a path that went no where.
I still believe your best way forward is to learn to use zypper per the link I provided.
For example, to add a repository, just type with root permissions:
zypper ar < URL> <some-repository-name-you-pick>
To install an application just type:
zypper install <my-application>
To remove the repository, just type:
zypper rr <some-repository-name-you-pick>
Now I recommend ONLY 4 repositories for openSUSE. Those are OSS, Non-OSS, Update and Packman. Only those 4. The first 3 OSS, Non-OSS, and Update are already added, so you only need to add packman.
You can do that by typing (per the above guidance) with root permissions:
zypper ar http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/11.2/ packman
I wanna thx you for having patience with me here on this topic and i am sorry for losing my head in frustration and losing my manners here
Again am sorry BIG thanks for great support cheers
PS: Now i got the packman repository ;D
