Update:
I filed issues (feature requests) on crossfeed and gapless.
Status quo:
crossfeed: maybe with easyeffects,
gapless: maybe in the future.
Pardon, but I’ve to correct you.
It’s in the repo for TW, but not for actual Leap (15.6).
Both 2 home repos for Leap 15.6 don’t do (disabled or erroneous).
Software seems about disastrous at openSUSE, I’m disappointed.

You may want to learn how to do a proper package search via YaST Software or zypper. QMPlay2 is in the official OSS repo for Leap 15.6
It depends a lot on the user if they are willing to learn the basics of using an OS. See point above.
Pardon, I was talking about an non-outdated version.
There is a prehistoric version of it in official repository.
Does the word “arrogance” means anything for you?
Please read this again. And contemplate about the linear relationship between ranting and the eagerness of others to help, about whether your life depends on it. IME phrases like this rather push people away than inviting them to help you. I assume you can see that too, and kindly ask you to refrain from such rants.
Consider this a warning. We do not allow personal attacks, not even wrapped in gift paper. See the Code of Conduct
I’ll leave the hiding of my response to knurpht’s posts
for the imagination of the valued readers… 
However probably it was exaggerated from me to call
the 2y/o version of QMPlay2 as “prehistoric”.
All is well with that version (with the exception of the changes since then).
And with respect to my demands (video & audio, light-weighted,
crossfeed, gapless) only the one-by-one play mode is missing.
What I learned at my odyssey:
home repositories often aren’t reliable,
as a successful build and start quite often seem to be the only QA;
just put a wrapper around it.
If crossfeed and gapless will be realized in MPC-Qt,
that will be my favorite.
This is generally something that should be common knowledge. Home repos are specifically created by individuals who may be playing around with something. They are not official in any way, shape, or form, and are very much a “use at your own risk” situation.
This is, I think, what hui was intending with his message - not to engage in a personal attack (he’s been around here long enough to know that we don’t do that here), but that it is incumbent on any new user to learn the ins and outs of the system, rather than making assumptions and then being disappointed when those assumptions prove to be wrong.
We were all new once, so it is important for those who are helping to be patient and remember that they were also there once (even if their approaches were different at that stage of learning), but it’s also important to ask rather than assume if you don’t know.

You are right. For non Tumbleweed versions, QMMPlay2 is not in the official repository or in Packman. Fortunately, is QMMPlay2 player is released as an AppImage too (I love that format).
Once more, it is:

But I have branches the multimedia Version and installed it from my Repo.
… and if you have a look at the comments …
Thank you very much for your nice posts.
And I mean it.
Actually I didn’t want to offend anyone.
Especially no one who is trying to help.
In that special case of hui’s answer
I interpreted it as he is taking me as an idiot - publically.
For me it seems clearly to be rude arrogance.
OK, you know him better.
And as I seem to be wrong, I do apologize.
I am sorry.
The problem for me with Linux is, that I had to leave it
(about 30 y/o, working professional in M$ mordor since then)
sometimes I don’t know the most simple things,
and sometimes my questions/ ideas are on professional level.
This will be confusing for other people.
I already stated it:
openSUSE, Linux is a big relieve for me.
Not to have everything driven by profit thinking/ making dependencies,
but for the will to make things better. For everyone.
“Linux is not Windows”
How often did I read that meanwhile…
Yes, but a newcomer may offer the chance of introducing new perspectives,
that you probably can’t see anymore when you’re deep within since years.
OK - probably there will be times when my ideas/ questions are completely nuts.
No risk - no fun!
However… I’ll try to do better.

When I checked whether it was in the official repositories on the openSUSE website, there’s only an official repository for Tumbleweed, as can be seen in the screenshot.
As you did, to get the RPM version on openSUSE 15.x releases, you need to add a “Multimedia” repository, but it’s considered “experimental” (hence the errors that user42 links to).
In any case, if you run into any problems, you always have the AppImage version available from the developer’s website.
If someone is saying:
Qmplay2 is not in an actual Version in Leap, I would say yes.
But what is actual?
One day, one month, one year?
one Version behind, two versions behind?
Do we need all the new things a new version can/will offer?
But saying, that Qmplay2 is not in Leap is wrong.
PS: the search side of openSUSE is broken since years.
It does not offer the Leap OSS/Update packages…
What???
That would have been my next question.
You find me stunned.
This all feels like a scavenger hunt from pithole to pithole.
What is (not) going on here???
Barebones mpv flatpak (bundled with codecs, so no pacman 
) works for my limited use. 
I always forget the keybindings due to the limited use though! 
I wonder you don’t seem to know…
For me it seems obvious that it doesn’t depend on time at all,
but on the differences between the versions.
For MPC_QT I may draw your valued attention to its changelog
You’re really satisfied using v.23.12 vom official OSS repo?
Why not?
See # 30.
What you describe here, IMHO is an actual danger. That said, I can also understand their reluctance toward newcomers’ suggestions. To suggest alternatives one needs at least some knowledge about the current situation. What we see is that the suggestions are often of the “I want xyz to work like abc on my previous OS”. Not knowing how things work is not a good base for changes. It requires some understanding of what needs changing, i.e. some experience.
