What IS wrong with VLC and k3b in 13.1? I cannot play Blu-ray files using VLC in 13.1 even though I have (as far as I know) all the necessary files installed - yet I can play the same Bd discs (or rather open the Directory-ies or execute individual m2ts files) in openSUsE 12.3. I cannot do a copy of, eg, a CD using k3b - keeps coming up with an error of not being able to open the disc - in 13.1 while k3b in 12.3 happily and without any drama makes a copy of any CD I "throw" at it! 12.3 = OK. 13.1 = crap. Why? I have another thread here which I started days ago, Subject "13.1 + vlc + Blu-ray", but now k3b is involved so I thought it best to start a new thread. MOST frustrating re above simply because both work as expected in 12.3 but suddenly 13.1 goes belly-up re these 2 applications. Anybody suggest, please, steps to take to resolve this situation?

Eh, I have Packman running out of my ears, John. Everything I have installed comes from Packman. Since installing 13.1 I have had k3b, for example, updated at least (?)5 times, the latest being yesterday or today - cannot recall. Still it cannot do a Copy Medium - tried it just before posting my original message. The only thing I can now try is to delete both VLC and K3B and re-install. Nothing else left to do as I have run out of ideas. (There HAS to be something about 13.1 - with all the "developments" which it has had to endure - to be causing this. For example, my wife's computer had Intel cpu in it (mine is AMD) and she cannot login, for example, without having to retype the first letter of her password because the first character/keystroke is not recognised by 13.1. I also have the ThinkPad laptop which also has an Intel cpu and any kernel above 3.11.x causes a "kernel panic" when I try to boot the laptop with kernel 3.12.x (which is what I am using on my [this] Desktop). Too much unsupervised "development" with too much haste is my view on the situation.)

I can confirm this. The two versions come from packman. This have nothing to see with mp3, but I noticed the difference from the two versions is much more export options from the 2.0.80 than the 2.0.2 this is reported upstream and have nothing to do with openSUSE AFIAK notice tghat the working version have nearly the same error messages in xterm, but it don't crash :-) so EOT for me jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I cannot play Blu-ray files using VLC in 13.1 even though I have (as

sorry if you already said that in the other thread, but I do not remember if you installed from scratch or updated an old config? in my case I prefered to create brand new 13.1. let me say, speaking of Blu-Ray disks that I have a USB writer since at least two years. There is no present way I know to *create* video BD from Linux, windows mandatory for this, but in fact I nearly never do so, I simply copy to BD my mp4 files, any BD reader I have being able also to read mp4. That said, The "wodim" variant of cdrecord is not maintained since years and do not manage very well BD. For example, last time I chacked (may be one year ago), writing a full BD could take several hours. So I use cdrecord from Joerg Shilling, available in OBS. with cdrecord, a BD is written in approx 25 minutes in mu old USB writer. but this also means that I have a repository from OBS, "multimedia:apps and multimedia:libs" and it makes it sometime difficile to know what come from where. most if not all of my multimedia app come from packman. Have a three years old i5 computer with 8Gb ram

...

I cannot do a copy of, eg, a CD using k3b - keeps coming up with an error of not being able to open the disc

I just tested k3b perfectly copy a cd. I had some problems writing a BD with k3b. That is I can use k3b to create the iso file, but I got an unusable BD (unreadabme anywhere). Not necessarily k3b fault, cd/dvd/BD are not specially reliable, for example very picky about finger prints on the burnig side, but I prefere to use k3b to create the iso and then use command line "cdrecord dev=6,0,0, -burn-free name.iso" to burn and I did so without problem yesterday.

...

13.1 = crap.

Why?

something in your config, for sure

...

Anybody suggest, please, steps to take to resolve this situation?

I don't use k3b from packman, I see no reason to do so. It is only needed, AFAIK, to create audio CDs out from mp3 tracks, and that is an operation I do not need. -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

it's a reading error, so nothing to do with lame or mp3. k3b use to make things with external modules, but I couldn't find wich one is used for audio cd reading I use ripit or simply dolphin to rip my cd's If I find time I will try to add this to the bugreport (but today I have to be with my family :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Sheesh! Sorry! :-( . I just saw that I had not looked at this thread since December and therefore have not responded to your message. Yes, I am still having trouble with VLC playing Bd discs. There appears to have been a change in that at least now VLC will *start* to play the Bd disc but the play is a start/stop/start/stop affair (5 seconds on, 2 seconds off) as I mentioned earlier :-( . Damn annoying. I have been using a player in Windows to view Bd discs which is why I haven't been back to this thread - until a few minutes ago. The VLC I have installed in 13.1 is from the packman repo (I just checked). BC -- Secrecy is completely inadequate for democracy but totally appropriate for tyranny.

Wait, let me put on my politician hat.... :-) I guarantee nothing... I was only answering Anton's point about visiting the Packman website and getting 404 pages and errors about "no instructions" for his version of openSUSE on the 1-Click links for installing vlc. I've installed vlc from packman plus the vlc-codecs. This works for all standalone media filetypes I've thrown at it... so far. I don't have a BD movie to test with... so no comment on if that part of this equation works on my setup.

Well it's the Bd bit which I am having a gripe about. As I already mentioned the Bd DVDs are now "viewable" provided that you are prepared to sit and watch them being stuttered onto your screen in a 5 seconds on/2 seconds off manner :-( . Damned if I know what is causing this in 13.1 because as far as I can remember this was not the case in 12.3. Had trouble in recognising a Bd yes, but with some manipulation one could successfully view a Bd in vlc in 12.3. BC -- A civilisation is judged by how it treats the most vulnerable.

just because audacity *shows* what it reads, so you may have a better understanding, and it converts nearly anthing to anything, just in case

don't know what is "agsm" but for multimedia to works, do not go to the packman site, go to yast, repos, community, and clic on packman. I even give packman a lower priority number, but not sure if it's necessary it's better to do as soon as possible after the install, before any product is installed. else you may have to go to yast software and move versions to packman ones openSUSE ones are merely placeholders, but non functional versions (codecs wise) due to legal problems jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Don't forget to include vlc-codecs when you install vlc.. or you will still have a vlc player that can't play anything. C. -- openSUSE 13.1 x86_64, KDE 4.12 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The VLC I have installed in 13.1 is from the packman repo (I just checked).

I too am having problems with sound files under 13.1 My voip phone system sends me voice mail messages as .wav files. I can't play any of them now I have 13.1 running. VLC says it can't handle some encoding and that there's nothing can be done; xine starts then does nothing - I can't even select the media. It also doens't go away when I click the "x" at the top right of the window!

Amarok plays for a couple of seconds then dies. If I start Amarok manually I get only the script console...

I'm trying others but am at a loss as to why these two stalwarts are problematic.

Let me state this: 1) I use VLC in 13.1 to view Television; 2) I use VLC in 13.1 to listen to music (which is rarely now); and 3) I use VLC in 13.1 to view normal 5 & 9 DVDs. VLC I am using in 13.1 is installed from the packman repo, and *not* directly from VLC. But I do NOT use VLC to view Bd (Blu-ray discs) because the video (and therefore sound) "stutters": 5 seconds ON and 2 seconds OFF. Damn ANNOYING (note, I am using the polite way of expression my displeasure)! So, to view Bd movies I use DVDFab Viewer 2 in Windows 7 - and I don't give a rat's tail about using W7 for this purpose because Linux badly lets me down in this multimedia department. I had success when using openSUSE 12.3 for viewing Bd discs but 13.1 is a totally different story. And I don't have the time to try and work out and report why 13.1 and the VLC for it cannot handle this task. BC -- A civilisation is judged by how it treats the most vulnerable.
