I’m having issues seeing the community repos in YaST. every time I look at that page in YaST, only 2 show up. Anyone know how to fix this?http://i.imgur.com/sGhp6vi.png
You should add them manually by url
Huh?
YaST > Software > Repositories and then clicking Add below gives me a list of Media Types. One of them i Community Repositories. Checking it it and then Next downloads and shows me a list of 20+ repos. This is 13.1 though.
I repeat, this is a downloaded list (and thus up-to-date), nothing to add there by URL yourself.
Are you looking at the same place as the OP and I?
Since the list is downloaded and updated everytime you use it is the Internet working?
That is correct.
And the list doesn’t exist for Tumbleweed (yet?), so this is not going to work.
As mentioned already, add the repos manually by URL.
If you need help, please tell what repo you want to add and somebody will post you the URL to use.
Or use the package search:
http://software.opensuse.org/search
I interpreted this as: you should add URLs to the Community repos list yourself.
It now seems that you wanted to say: you can not use the community list (in TUMBLEWEED), but should add the wanted repos to your repo list yourself.
Is this me or was your advise realy a bit short in explanation?
Obviously I knew what I meant
Correct, my explanation was short
@wolfi323 gave a fuller reply
Since TW is “Factory” does it really make sense to suggest <any> Community repos at all?
I find it hard to understand how a community repo with only a tenuous relationship with individual distros could be asked to provide packages assured to be built to Factory which changes often and unpredictably.
It would seem to me that if someone were running on the bleeding edge (Factory),
Then it’d be advised to <selectively> consider packages from 13.2 <with no assurance they would work>.
In other words, if you’re running TW, you should stick to official TW repos and if your needs extend beyond what is provided, then you’re either far out on a limb or you should consider changing to LEAP or 13.2 (or 13.1 Evergreen).

Yes, my internet connection is fine. I can add any repos (IE: Packman) by url, they aren’t showing up though.
Missed you use TW in TW you set things manually since non openSUSE repos may or may not be up to date with the content changes of tumbleweed
Where are they not showing up?
What’s the output from:
zypper lr -d
Sorry, I assume you missed something. It is when you want to add a repo through the Community repos list.
As explained above, this is empty for Tumbleweed, thus the OP’s obeservation is correct.
The OP has no problems in maintaining his repo list, except through the feature of adding a Community repo, which is in the nature of him using Tumbleweed.
IMHO this thread is solved.
Not sure if I am following what the issue the OP is having but I had trouble adding Packman repo when I 1st used Tumbleweed. This thread solved it for me. Hope it helps:

Your repo list looks okay. You have been able to add the packman repo.
If you are looking for the url of the libdvdcss repo, then I have been using:
# zypper ar -f http://opensuse-guide.org/repo/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ libdvdcss
to add that for Tumbleweed.
As others have pointed out, there isn’t a list of repos. So when you use Yast Software Repositories to add community repos, you see an empty list. If you are looking for others, then you can ask about the ones that you are looking for. Probably somebody will know where it is.
Generally speaking, it is best to not add too many repos for Tumbleweed, as extra repos increases the chance of conflicts.
