Hi when i play a video in vlc, the video plays in an external video, i have tried to try some stuff in the settings but nothing has helped. I hope you can help me disable it 
I have included a screenshot:
I actually had the same problem, it bugged me no end. I finally got it “fixed”. I “think” it got “fixed” when I upgraded VLC. Try that. It worked for me. I must add, the only thing I installed was VLS and nothing “extra”, none of the plugins or anything else listed, just the latest version of VLC. It might help if you open up Software Maintenance and do a search for VLC then delete all of it. Once you have done that, when it asks for a yes or no, click on yes then search for VLC again then choose ONLY VLC and install that.
That’s all I can recommend. It worked for me. Hope it works for you.
Have a merry X-Mas and a Happy New Year.
Thanks and right back at you:P
I tried your suggestion but unfortunately it didn’t work:\
Hi, i got the solution: There’s no solution.
I got the same problem. It is a bug in the new version of VLC. “Fixing” that bug (there is a fix, commenting some lines in the source code) causes more annoying behaviors. Even 43% more annoyness. So better stay that way, with the video in a external windola.
See you.
rotfl! I never used VLC player until now, so I thought that this is the default style / appearance for the player. 
So, it’s isn’t buggy for me. 
Install vlc from packman, not the vlc repository. Then the video should be embedded. It works for me
I tried that but it didn’t work so maybe packman has updated to the buggy version, but thanks anyway 
Today i installed it again and i worked lol! so i guess the best way is to uninstall and install it again.
Hello, you should try to check “integrate video in the interface”, under “menu>tools>preferences>interface>interace type”.
I’m not sure those are the actual menu name, since my system is in french, but you get the idéa
I have vlc 0.9.8a Grichenko, from packman repo.
Bye
Packman version works fine on 11.1, thank you I’ve been looking for a solution for two days.
Maybe OpenSuse should just remove VideoLan repository from the list of Community Repositories.
It has caused me a lot of trouble in the past. Video stopped working on some of the applications (Kaffeine, VLC etc) even though it was working fine on others (SMplayer). I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was causing the issue. And finally, I stumbled upon a forum post which suggested to “revert all the codecs that were installed from VideoLan repository to PackMan and use the VideoLan repository only for the VLC player”. And, it looks like with OpenSuse 11.1 and latest version of VLC player, the VideoLan repository is not even good for installing VLC player from.
I’m sure some poor fellow out there is going to install stuff from this repository because it is “newer” than Packman and poof… video will be gone. So, maybe we should just remove it from the list of repositories.
I tried to uninstall it and install it again and it worked
