Hi,
I installed VLC Player to play my DVD movies and while it did play a couple of movies, it couldn’t play some movies such as Star Wars. Grateful for your advice.

@Mamunson Hi is libdvdcss2 installed?
@malcolmlewis Hi, In the terminal, I typed rpm -qa | grep libdvdcss2 and it returned nothing. So I typed: sudo zypper install libdvdcss2 and it returned:
Repository 'VLC' is invalid.
[vlc|http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/Leap_15.0/] Valid metadata not found at specified URL
History:
- [vlc|http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/Leap_15.0/] Repository type can't be determined.
Please check if the URIs defined for this repository are pointing to a valid repository.
Warning: Skipping repository 'VLC' because of the above error.
Some of the repositories have not been refreshed because of an error.

Nothing to do.
The URL for your libdvdcss should be
http://opensuse-guide.org/repo/openSUSE_Leap_$releasever/
in your repo file. And you should of course see it as
http://opensuse-guide.org/repo/openSUSE_Leap_15.5/
(You can also use the latter, but then you have to change again when going to 15.6., and as we can see above, changing to the correct openSUSE version is not your strong point.
Please post:
zypper lr -d
@hcvv Hi, Both link are not working. It says The requested URL was not found on this server.
@Sauerland Hi, I typed zypper lr -d in the terminal and following came out:

@Mamunson
A general advise. Please do not tell stories like: " I type … in the terminal and following came out", but copy/paste two lines more. One at the top that has the prompt and your command (so others can see where you where, who you ware and what exactly you did), and one at the end that has the new prompt (to show it is the complete output).
Much easier then all the typing…
VLC-Repo and Packman -Repo both at same time gives often problems, I would not use the VLC-Repo.
These are no Leap 15.5 Repos, please delete them.
What one can see directly:
#3 and #4 are the same (well one URL ends in a / and the other not, but does not really make them different). Remove #4.
#5 is an old Packman one from 15.0!. You have the correct one as #2. Remove #5
#20 is also a leftover or a not corrected one.
Please always show, do not tell stories alone (and when you show, a lot of the story telling becomes superfluous).
But, I made a mistake. That VLC repo is outdated, but it should not be replaced withe URL I suggested. That one is for the repo with libdvdcss2. But libdvdcss2 is also in Packman, so you only need Packman. (but the correct one and not two of them).
And for showing if you have libdvdcss2 installed, please use
zypper se -si libdvdcss2
@hcvv I’m not telling stories, I’m explaining in plain simple English what I did.
@Sauerland How can I delete them?
I have seen enough cases when users did something entirely different to what they believed they did and they did not realize it until they copy-pasted the screen content and someone pointed at the difference.
#5 removed. Nothing changed.
That about #5 is only a bonus you get from us.
It is #20 (now #19 I assume) that gives you the error.
You can’t open the libdvdcss2 URL in a browser. libdvdss2 is not available in packman repo.
So simply do:
sudo zypper addrepo -f http://opensuse-guide.org/repo/openSUSE_Leap_15.5/ libdvdcss
sudo zypper in libdvdcss2
Add the Repo:
zypper ar -f https://opensuse-guide.org/repo/openSUSE_Leap_15.5/ libdvdcss
Install libdvdcss2:
zypper in -f libdvdcss2
Delete Repo #5:
zypper rr packman
Delete Repo #20:
zypper rr vlc
Now switch all packages to the Packman Version:
zypper dup --from 'Packman Repository'
Many thanks to all of you.
What he meant was do not type/describe what you did when what you did can be perfectly communicated by simply copying what you did from the terminal where you did it and pasting it into your forum response.
