The easiest is to add Packman to your install source and install the codecs with Yast. http://www.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories

houghi Installed the wincodecs from the extra repository directories, but no result at all. Juk for instance seems to run thru the medialist as soon as i start an MP3 file to play.

Was it something else that went wrong?

You need kdemultimedia3-mad to be able to play mp3s in juk. There are other -mad packages for other players. The windows codecs from mplayerhq are for playing wma and fellows. To use them you also need support for them in xine which is set at compile time. The packages from Packman have them enabled. Add the packman repository in Yast as Houghi suggested and go to software management. There use the package group filter and select the group zzz All. Go to package -> all in this list -> update if newer version available. That should update xine, kaffeine and all other media packages. Verify that it is by selecting the filter installation summary. If it is not updated, the name is libxine1 for the xine from packman. -- Guðlaugur Jóhannesson http://www.hi.is/~gudlaugu Phone: +354 849 8405

several mad packages that I have in yast after refreshing gwdg and packman mirrors are unavailable when I try to install them.

There seems to be a problem with YaST and the refreshing of installation sources. Try to remove the source and add it again. If that does not work you could try to use y2pmsh and the command "source -a URL" within it. -- Guðlaugur Jóhannesson http://www.hi.is/~gudlaugu Phone: +354 849 8405

SUSE LINUX 10.0 OSS will doesn't have mad packages included. They were only on a beta release for short testing. You have to wait until they are availiable via YOU. -- andreas Chema Ollés wrote:

that is I make a search for "mad" in yast, find "xine-mad" and when I try to install I have "no package with this version".

may be the package list is not refreshed (on the server)

I have kde...mad but still no mp3 in kaffeine or amarok (nice in mplayer) - no gstreamer (same version problem in yast)

Hi: I have SL-10.0-OSS-RC1 and I have not problem with mp3 files.

there is still a problem: I have several sources in yast.

how can I know from what source is coming a pakage (without having to first disallow a source :-)

Please file an enhancement request (aka. bug ;)) on bugzilla.novell.com for YaST. AFAIK YaST displays the installation source when you install the packages, but it should be made more obvious which packages belongs to a specific repository. Regards Christoph

It works ;-) One slight problem persists, Juk does not start playing? Kaffeine works great. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Robert Vriens --------------------------------------------------------- Linux 2.6.13 user, swept for virusses using www.hbedv.com OpenSuse, opens the OpenSource

did you install kdemultimedia3-arts-mad? It might be needed

No i did not. Installed the mad package and yeppy it works great. Thanks to all of you for having the patience in solving this slight problem. I did not opened an issue on OpenSuse.org.

If you have time, you could add the information to http://www.opensuse.org/Restricted_Formats

yeah, please post how you resolved the mp3 playing to the wiki. I'm having a hard time trying to get my amaroK playing mp3 on SUPER SuSE, I installed various *mad* packages but with no luck and totally messed up at last. It pains me so much, I need my mp3 playing. So, will the SuSE Linux 10.0 OSS version final release support mp3 playing by default? I hope so! -- Cheers

Well, I have MP3 playing fine, but I can only play my iTunes m4a files using XMMS. XMMS is great for some things, but lacks the musician, album, genre, and song name browsing functionality of amaroK and Rhythmbox. I have installed all the mad files, flac, faac, faad2, mpcdec, all the id3 stuff, etc. When I try to add an m4a file in Rhythmbox, I am told the stream is unrecognized. I will post again with the names of all the specific packages and the error details. Miles

yes, mp3 is restricted, and that thing is anoyying me , I have no problem to compile software, but the fact is : Where I live, unlicensed mp3/DVD encoder/decoders are completely legal. we don't have (yet) such stupid and tricky legal system,patents don't apply here. Probably that's the case of a lot of non-US users...our systems lacks of features due to unnaplicable foreing legislation.. :-( BTW.. MP3 support will be available for Opensuse via YOU as always right?

As the SUSE Linux 10.0 retail version has mp3 playback support out-of-the-box, there are no plans to offer those packages via YOU this time. However we will put some additional packages into the SUSE-Linux10.0-Extra/kernel-modules+firmware tree on ftp.suse.com.

Regards Christoph

Thanks for the info Christoph. And could you please be specific on what packages under SUSE-Linux10.0-Extra/kernel-modules+firmware are required to get the mp3 working? Cause when I'm looking at the directory I totally have no idea what packages are for mp3 supporting. Thanks. Can't live without mp3. -- Cheers

One slight problem persists, Juk does not start playing?

Kaffeine works great.

on suse9.3 I've found that juk only plays with aKode, not with arts... despite installing all manner of random packages... I'm on kernel 2.6.13 (suse KOTD, because 2.6.11 has b0rked usbnet and won't work with my Zaurus). changing juk to arts and back to akode causes it to lockup completely. oh yeah. one gotcha can be simply that the mixer has PCM sound down to zero, when main volume is 100%, so do check that if it appears to play but nothing is heard.
