Hi,
I fixed this exact issue(with the "…no way to fix this) a month or so ago, but had to reinstall openSUSE, and it’s haunting me again. I’m almost certain that the last time I fixed it it involved this thread, because I bookmarked it after fixing it, and it’s the only openSUSE VLC bookmark I have. I seem to recall one of the posts suggesting 2 or 3 commands was what fixed it, though this didn’t work on its own upon reinstallling.
I also know that I spent a long time searching for the above quote itself and tried everything those threads said with no luck, so I’m more than 90% sure that whatever I need to do, it involves either doing what I did with suggestions from the prior threads, followed by one or two from this one. Of course, the best question is: Is there a way I can simply uninstall VLC and then take care to only subscribe to the packman repositories as suggested here? I don’t think I see it anywhere on this forum.
I’m very new to openSUSE and Linux in general and really like this distro, but of the 5 I’m running, this is the only one I have anywhere near this much trouble running VLC on. Hopefully I’ll learn how to fix it this time and save that info for the future so I’ll be able to fix it entirely on my own. 
Thanks in advance. Please let me know what other data I can provide to help isolate the issue.
