[opensuse] VLC can not play MP3 files
Hello, My favourite media player is VLC and of course I got it installed on Leap. But it does not work. For simple mp3 files I get: Codec not supported: VLC could not decode the format "mpga" (MPEG Audio layer 1/2) Tried an older AVI file: Codec not supported: VLC could not decode the format "mp4v" (MPEG-4 Video) Codec not supported: VLC could not decode the format "mp3 " (MPEG Audio layer 3) A newer MKV file: Codec not supported: VLC could not decode the format "h264" (H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)) Codec not supported: VLC could not decode the format "a52 " (A52 Audio (aka AC3) Then I tried a FLAC file and it works fine. What's up? How do I get VLC's codecs back? -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

What's up? How do I get VLC's codecs back?
A google told me to install from packman, but I failed there too. I tried 1-click install from http://packman.links2linux.com/package/vlc . It says metadata is not found at the URL, and the URL is: http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_42.1 -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Try the Packman mirror at http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/ and re-install all the codecs as per the URL Carlos posted. It might be necessary to change the vendor to Packman for some or all of the packages (depending on whose packages you have installed at present). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Packman mirrors spend a lot of time out of sync. Try substituting the Packman .repo file 1-click created in /etc/zypp/repos.d/ with this version: [Packman] autorefresh=0 baseurl=http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_Leap_42.1 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/repodata/repomd.xml.key keeppackages=0 name=Packman type=rpm-md Adjust enabled, keep and refresh to suit personal preference, 1 for yes/on/enabled, 0 for no/off/disabled. YaST or any plain text editor can do this. With autorefresh disabled, you won't be annoyed by 40+ updates showing up virtually every day - they'll only show up when you or something else forces a refresh. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
