Installation has completed with error
I wouldn’t call that particularly useful error reporting. Where do I find some meaningful explanation that I can correct? Smplayer, mpv and vlc all crash when opening a variety of files.
In fact I assumed that the original output given in post #1 was due to the “vendor switch to Packman”. This seems not to be the case, but it is some endless list of packages to be installed.
Do not understand the goal to be reached by installing that list (I have always had full multi-media support by the default installation followed by the vendor switch), but in any case the OP should do the vendor switch else all that installing will be in vain.
To be sure, do the vendor switch before the install of those packages, install those packages you like from Packman (when available there) and, to be 1000% sure do the vendor switch afterwards again.
‘ffmpeg’ is already installed.
There is an update candidate for ‘ffmpeg’, but it is from a different vendor. Use ‘zypper install ffmpeg-3.3-6.8.1.x86_64’ to install this candidate.
This is only one Example.
Before installing the Packages please do a:
Well, some of the packages you tried to install do not exist any more:
Package 'gstreamer-0_10-plugins-fluendo_mpegdemux' not found.
Package 'gstreamer-0_10-plugins-fluendo_mpegmux' not found.
That’s why zypper reports “Installation has completed with error”.
In other words, that guide is slightly “outdated”…
But that shouldn’t cause any problems, just this (cosmetic) warning at the end.
Your main mistake is that you didn’t do a full switch to Packman, as has been mentioned already (and the guide mentions this as well):
sudo zypper dup --from packman
This should fix your problems. You still have the “crippled” openSUSE ffmpeg packages installed, as can be seen in the zypper output as well, e.g.:
'ffmpeg' is already installed.
There is an update candidate for 'ffmpeg', but it is from a different vendor. Use 'zypper install ffmpeg-3.3-6.8.1.x86_64' to install this candidate.
Hmmm. I was going to ask about this one, as I saw that a couple days ago when I performed the multimedia install on another laptop. So far, multimedia is all running fine, so I was not in a hurry to ask.
Have they been replaced with something else, or just not necessary anymore?
But, those two never were necessary really (and personally I never installed them either).
An mpeg muxer and demuxer is part of the standard gstreamer packages, those were “just” a different version by Fluendo.
Also, those two packages are for gstreamer-0_10, which shouldn’t really be used by anything meanwhile.
Actually it even has been dropped from the distribution completely recently, and all other packages that would still need it.
