i am confused over latest conflict

2 Problems:
Problem: nothing provides libvlccore.so.8 needed by phonon4qt5-backend-vlc-0.9.0-3.2.i586
Problem: vlc-3.0.0-4.4.x86_64 requires vlc-noX = 3.0.0-4.4, but this requirement cannot be provided


Problem: nothing provides libvlccore.so.8 needed by phonon4qt5-backend-vlc-0.9.0-3.2.i586
 Solution 1: Following actions will be done:
  keep obsolete vlc-noX-2.2.8-5.10.x86_64
  keep obsolete libvlc5-2.2.8-5.10.x86_64
 Solution 2: deinstallation of phonon4qt5-backend-vlc-0.9.0-3.2.x86_64
 Solution 3: keep obsolete vlc-noX-2.2.8-5.10.x86_64
 Solution 4: break phonon4qt5-backend-vlc-0.9.0-3.2.i586 by ignoring some of its dependencies

can anyone provide guidance?

Probably “Solution 2” and go for the vlc-3 packages from Packman.
Unless you want to stick with vlc-2.2.8 for some specific reason.

3

is phonon4qt5-backend-vlc not required? (i have no idea what it does)
have just check and yes this is from oss, but everything else from packman?
could this just cruft from say an old version, and perhaps i have since done a switch to packman?

4

No, not with the vlc-3 packages.

Yes.

Try removing phonon4qt5-backend-vlc-0.9.0-3.2.i586 and retry zypper dup.

the dup conflict dialogue gave me an endless runaround. So I did:

sudo zypper rm -u vlc-noX  phonon4qt5-backend-vlc
sudo zypper dup
sudo zypper in vlc

everything OK now, thanks for help.

I also have some issues after upgrading to vlc 3.0.0 (which is implied in zypper dup). It cannot play back any mpeg/h264 anymore, from file or from dvb.

No issues with the pre-3.0.0 release.

I tried a zypper dup, which reported problems with libvlccore8, but after deleting it, libvlccore9 was autoselected. Still, zypper dup leaves me at this point.

Addition: I have to explicitly select VDPAU; then I’m getting a video output again. This is the only working option for me. The current behavior on “Automatic” seems to be the one from the Wayland option.

However, I don’t get audio output for h264 streams (DVB-C, HD channel) now. When I select ALSA, I get a “device busy”, but audio is hearable.

Using amdgpu.

I tried on my second PC and found that selecting “openGL” for video output is working. This was the setting I had before, but then the log output showed that it tried to find a plugin “xcb_glx” which seems to be gone now. Or renamed?

(Will retry on my other PC again in some days and report.)

Just upgraded to 20180224 and never experienced a problem related to vlc:

Try running zypper ref --force as well as zypper dup and zypper dup --from Index of /packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed.
