I have been install bumblebee I have 2 GPU (Intel + nVidia) - maybe this is problem ?

Thank you :slight_smile:

First,
When you select a Desktop, a media player associated with that Desktop is automatically installed. IMO you should start with that player and install another only if you find the default player isn’t sufficient.

So, what Desktop is installed?

TSU

The VLC problem is a bug in Qt5.5, an update to fix it is on the way.

To workaround it for now, disable the option “Integrate video in the interface”, or enable the option “Use custom skin” in VLC’s settings.

For the others, try to run them in a terminal window and see if you get an error message.

Oh, and please post your repo list:

zypper lr -d

The vlc package for Leap should not even integrate the video into the GUI at the moment, but rather open a separate window without that problem…

I disable the option “Integrate video in the interface” and now VLC show full screen but after I start it several times now he cant start it like a deepin player and others…
Sorry but how can i start deepin player (for example) with Konsole ?

I post screen with

zypper lr -d

In my language (on screen) - Да - YES, Не- No, Име - Name…

I use KDE

Any problems ?

I don’t know if any player is there but this is where to find deepin utilities etc

https://software.opensuse.org/search?q=deepin&baseproject=openSUSE%3A13.1&search_devel=false&search_unsupported=false

And what changes did you make to your system since then? :wink:
What output do you get when you run “vlc” in Konsole?

like a deepin player and others…

The command is “deepin-music-player”, but you should also find it in the application menu if you installed it…

No, looks ok.
But one note: you could also just have copy/pasted the text, would have been easier I suppose… :wink:

When I start vlc in konsole he start

qbasix@linux-kir9:~> vlc
VLC media player 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett (Weatherwax) (revision 2.2.1-0-ga425c42)
**0000000000ffa0b8**] core libvlc: **Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to us**
e vlc without interface.


But when type deepin-media-player - output is:

qbasix@linux-kir9:~> deepin-media-player
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/deepin-media-player", line 22, in <module>
    from media_player import MediaPlayer

    from gui import GUI # 播放器界面布局.
  File "/usr/share/deepin-media-player/src/gui.py", line 36, in <module>
    import pynotify
ImportError: No module named pynotif

When I click on any movie - Open With - VLC he can`t start… after I restart my pc he start maybe one or two times but after that no more…

Sorry for my bad English :slight_smile:

Ok, then actually everything’s ok with vlc.

But when type deepin-media-player - output is:

qbasix@linux-kir9:~> deepin-media-player

Apparently you don’t have python-notify installed. Install it and deepin-music-player will hopefully work.
Seems there is a dependency missing for the package.

Although, I just noticed that deepin-music-player is just a frontend to mplayer2, which is dead/unmaintained and will be removed completely soon.

When I click on any movie - Open With - VLC he can`t start… after I restart my pc he start maybe one or two times but after that no more…

Did you maybe modify the menu entry?
Can you start it from the application menu?

Do you get any error message?

I install python-notify and python-notify2 and now mpv player and deepin player start from app menu but can`t open any movie…

When i start from menu Deepin, mpv, vlc all start but - mpv deepin cant open any movie... My VLC run correcly now only have problems with subs encoding Im form Bulgaria and my subs is bulgarian I use on VLC Windows-1252 my problem with subs dragon player is the same…
I`m new to opensuse before I use Ubuntu, Mint and I have not these problem with them, but I like more opensuse and want to use openSUSE, but I have no skills with openSUSE :cry:
What to do now ?

Now i look have another problem with audio players all my audio players not work open the app but can`t start any song only amaraok work correcly :’(
And skype not working fine have no camera…

Well, as mentioned deepin-music-player apparently is just a frontend to mplayer2 which is dead, unmaintained and deprecated.

Maybe try running mplayer2 itself as a test.

And what does “can’t open any movie” mean exactly? Do you get some error message?
There should be some settings about the output device, have you tried to change them?

mpv deepin can`t open any movie…

mpv cannot either?
Again, please be a bit more specific.

My VLC run correcly now only have problems with subs encoding I`m form Bulgaria and my subs is bulgarian I use on VLC Windows-1252 my problem with subs dragon player is the same…

Sorry, no idea.
Try to convert your subtitle files maybe, with kate or kwrite e.g.

And what audio players exactly?
You might to have to install additional packages, for audacious e.g. there’s audacious-plugins and audacious-plugins-extra, you especially need the latter for playing back certain files including MP3s.
Also here, do you get any error message? Or what does “can’t start any song” mean exactly?

Some general advise though:

  • try a full switch to the Packman repo to avoid an incompatible mix of packages or some “crippled” ones still installed, like described here:
    SDB:Vendor change update - openSUSE Wiki
    In your case you could e.g. run:
sudo zypper dup --from packman
  • Try to uninstall libvdpau_va_gl1, some users had problems with this in the past. Could only affect playing videos though, not your music players.

Although I’m not sure that either of those two things will help, considering that vlc does work anyway.

And skype not working fine have no camera…

Can you please open a new thread about this?

After I run

sudo zypper dup --from packman

All my problems are gone rotfl!
I uninstall libvdpau_va_gl1
now my openSUSE work great :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
Thank you wolfi323 you are great god bless you :shame:

Great! :slight_smile:

I uninstall libvdpau_va_gl1

Well, you don’t have to uninstall it if it doesn’t cause problems.
It is required to use VDPAU hardware decoding on the intel chip, although most players should support VA-API too anyway (AFAIK MPlayer doesn’t though, no idea about mplayer2).

Ok I will install it again :slight_smile: to see :slight_smile:

I have a made video screen for you to seen my problems :slight_smile:
