[VMware] openSUSE can't play any video with any player!! very strange for me

English Applications
#1

I have the following problem with Linux openSUSE 11.4 as Guest OS in VMware Workstation 7.1.4:

“Linux doesn’t play any video, with no single program!”
I can only play audio files with Amarok, other programs can’t play anything… (Audio & Video)

I think… There is a bug in the VMware Workstation with the Display Driver :\

:’( any help,

the only format that is playable if .flv via firefox and flashplayer (eg: youtube)

Did you install the multimedia extras?
