YaST not working with YMP files?

I couldn’t get DVDs to play, looked up some old threads on the forum, and found really helpful advice that suggests I get an YMP. So, with almost no experience with YaST, I went ahead and entered as SU:

yast2 -i http://opensuse-community.org/codecs-gnome.ymp

The outcome is this:

Following packages haven’t been found on the medium:
http://opensuse-community.org/codecs-gnome.ymp

This seems to be the outcome for any effort I make with YaST, no matter what source? Any help is very appreciated! :slight_smile:

Oh, and when I download the file to my computer, it opens in gedit. So I try this:

yast2 -i codecs-gnome.ymp

Which leads to this:

Following packages haven’t been found on the medium:

Hi guys – any thoughts? Maybe I’m making a simple, rookie error and would love it if someone can point out what a goon I am. :wink:

Did you tried this link:

Select this rpm:

gst-fluendo-mp3-2-72.1.i586.rpm

And after download, install it by clicking it.

OR
You can try this repo from Vlan.

I think the confused person is mixed up with:

ITS NOT A PACKAGE!
it adds repo’s to your system and then installs the packages you need
