Hello,
I’ve just downloaded and installed Leap 15.3, very easily. Just one annoyance : no videos can be viewed at all. It seems that some plugin is missing (h265 ?).
Of course you need to follow the appropriate (or the one most recent when there is still no 15.3 version) sticky thread in this very Miltimedia forum). Or the SDB ( https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installing_codecs_from_Packman_repositories ).
But as 15.3 is not released yet, I am not sure that the 15.3 version of Packman is already available.
I copied and pasted from: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/540572-Installing-Packman-Codecs?p=2938992#post2938992

Leap-15-3:~ #
The above executes in a few seconds.
For Firefox MP4/H.264 support, you’ll need this: <https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Firefox_MP4/H.264_Video_Support>.
For libdvdcss support, you’ll need VideoLAN – <https://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html> – <https://download.videolan.org/SuSE/SLEap_15.3/>.
Its better not to use the Videolan- and Packman Repo at same time, different naming schemes will make errors at the end.
Better is only to use the Packman Repo it includes mostly the same Version of VLC as in the Videolan Repo and many many stuff more.
Libdvdcss:
Better is to add the Repo:
zypper ar -f https://opensuse-guide.org/repo/openSUSE_Leap_15.3/ libdvdcss2
And install from there, my command is only searching, because I added the Repo in Leap 15.2 and will delete it now again…
zypper se -sr libdvdcss2

Personally if I ever use development versions I’d add factory repos for packman
Never had any issues.
Now I just run Tumbleweed all the time
Perfect ! It worked fine. Thank you.
