Question: is this normal for now and when 15.3 is released, will this package appear ?

Hi
Should be there by the looks…
https://pmbs.links2linux.de/package/binaries/Essentials/A_15.3-vlc/openSUSE_Leap_15.3

There is an issue (see packman Mailing List) https://lists.links2linux.de/pipermail/packman/2021-April/016697.html

I added this repository and gave it priority 89


name=VideoLAN repo (SLEap_15.3)
baseurl=http://download.videolan.org/SuSE/SLEap_15.3/

after that it is possible to set vlc-codecs.

at this time:

sudo zypper lr -u

      90 (raised priority)  :  1 repository

Packman and Videolan Repos at same time is no good choice…
Also on a Beta Distribution…

Thank you.
What repository do you recommend for now for installing vlc-codecs (leap15.3)?

Hi
That would be none since it’s a beta product, normally neither packman or videolan repositories since all packages are WiP. The idea is you would contact either the Packman or Videolan folks to advise if something is not working, or at a minimum follow the relevant mailing list for issues.

If your not testing the development/unstable release (openSUSE Leap - Get openSUSE), then suggest you stick with the released/stable version Leap 15.2…
