Video playback trouble

English Multimedia
#1

Hi, I’m using OpenSUSE 13.1, I hae downloaded the one click install codecs.

Kaffiene will play some things, but not many (plus it has a green line along the bottom of the screen which makes it unusable even when it does play).

I downloaded totem, doesn’t do anything at all. It will usually just close when I try to open a vid.

VLC will play everything I throw at it, but when I play a HD video there is a stutter every now and then.

Can someone help to fix these problems? I like to have several working media players.

Thanks

Personally I prefer smplayer or vlc

What GPU do you have?

I have a 4GB GTX 770 (Gigabyte Windforce).

Take a look at this, I was following the guide you posted.

Sorry about the messy format, let’s try again:

zypper install libxine2-codecs ffmpeg lame  gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad  gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-orig-addon  gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good-extra gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly-orig-addon  gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ffmpeg libdvdcss2 flash-player dvdauthor07  gstreamer-plugins-base gstreamer-plugins-bad  gstreamer-plugins-bad-orig-addon gstreamer-plugins-good  gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-ugly-orig-addon  gstreamer-plugins-good-extra gstreamer-0_10-plugins-fluendo_mpegdemux  gstreamer-0_10-plugins-fluendo_mpegmux k3b-codecs gecko-mediaplayer vlc  smplayer h264enc x264 gstreamer-plugins-libav vlc-codecs

Here’ the output of that:

Problem: ffmpeg-2.2-1.3.x86_64 requires libavcodec55 = 2.2, but this requirement cannot be provided
  uninstallable providers: libavcodec55-2.2-1.3.i586[ftp.gwdg.de-suse]

                   libavcodec55-2.2-1.3.x86_64[packman]
 Solution 1: deinstallation of libavfilter3-2.1.4-1.3.x86_64
 Solution 2: do not install ffmpeg-2.2-1.3.x86_64
 Solution 3: do not install ffmpeg-2.2-1.3.x86_64
 Solution 4: break ffmpeg-2.2-1.3.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or skip, retry or cancel [1/2/3/4/s/r/c] (c):
#5

Choose Solution 1 “deinstallation of libavfilter3”. That package does not exist anymore after ffmpeg’s update to 2.2.
It is called “libavfilter4” now, which should get installed automatically. (that’s why there is a conflict in the first place)

Oh, and obviously you have TWO Packman repos. Remove one in YaST->Software Repositories.

#6

OK I removed a packman repo. What should I do about this:

Problem: gstreamer-plugins-bad-orig-addon-1.2.3-5.17.x86_64 requires libmpeg2encpp-2.0.so.0()(64bit), but this requirement cannot be provided
  uninstallable providers: libmjpegutils-2_0-0-2.0.0-57.4.x86_64[ftp.gwdg.de-suse]
 Solution 1: Following actions will be done:
  do not install gstreamer-plugins-bad-orig-addon-1.2.3-5.17.x86_64
  do not install gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-orig-addon-0.10.23-24.37.x86_64
 Solution 2: install libmjpegutils-2_0-0-2.0.0-57.4.x86_64 (with vendor change)
  openSUSE  -->  http://packman.links2linux.de
 Solution 3: break gstreamer-plugins-bad-orig-addon-1.2.3-5.17.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies
#7

But this is mentioned in the link above:

If you face choices. Look carefully for the option to let the package/s switch from openSUSE > packman

So choose:

Solution 2: install libmjpegutils-2_0-0-2.0.0-57.4.x86_64 (with vendor change)
  openSUSE  -->  http://packman.links2linux.de

And for every following similar question, again choose “install xxx (with vendor change) openSUSE → http://packman.links2linux.de”.

THanks, I went through them all without a problem. Hopefully everything will play now.
