"openSUSE 13.1 Multimedia Guide"
That blog has the manual steps, which again, are for KDE/Gnome, but the later is also for xfce/lxde, and you can easily edit out components specific for gnome. Thank you Carlos but who ever goes to these fora? Way more people than to the mail lists.
A person starts Firefox and sees the entry "openSUSE" under the URL box; Thinks, "Aha, there could be some documentation on how to have multimedia working" and clicks on the entry -- and Behold! there is shown "openSUSE Documentation"! The person is in raptures - until s/he finds that it is virtually impossible to see anything useful re multimedia except - when by accident, or in a drunken or enraged state - s/he stumbles across the words "opensuse-community.org" and then comes across http://opensuse-community.org/ where the 1-click install appears. https://en.opensuse.org/Special:Search --> "Multimedia" -->

openSUSE codecs openSUSE-Community.org
I don't see the difficulty.
Now, if you want to be really helpful to all those suffering souls who install openSUSE and then have to go thru hell to get their multimedia working why not add there all the hints about what to do when one is not using KDE or Gnome but one of the other DEs? :-) The community site did have instructions for manual installation on other desktops, I think till 12.3, then it was remade. It is an external site, so you can not complain in a bugzilla. The site doesn't have a link for comments.
We seem to be on a different planet...... WHO has put together and maintains the http://opensuse-community.org/ URL which has the 1-click install for KDE and GNOME desktop users? I don't think that I need to add anything else to get my message across.....
