Codes with IP protection like H.264 or H.265 on aarch64
Thanks openSUSE team ans supporter for the well running SW. But my main use-case for the RasPi4 is to use it for Audio and Video viewer w/ o restrictions of a Multimediaserver like at Kodi. So the most videos are meanwhile H.264 but openSUSE is one of the most restricted provider which are not porviding this codecs. But this can be fixed on x86 based systems with Packman. But according my analysis there is no Packman repo for Tumbleweed aarch64 available. What is your plane to support a standard user (and also some Linux professionals) which are using other distros which have no issue to provide a simple check box to allow IP protected codecs? I heard an News article from such kind of experts, which are strugeling to look a HD video at YT, so the H. 264 will be replaced. Long description, short question. Is there any option to include similar to Packman at x64, H.264 or similar at Tumbleweed on aarch64? Regards Ulf

I think you did your analysis not well enough: https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/Multimed...

OK, Thanks for info. So I added the repository via: zypper ar -f -c https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/Multimed... PackmanTWaarch64 And afterwords started "yast2 -i" and after options - allow vendor change was enabled, at all packages - update in case newer version is available. But there is nothing and if I check it in the repo view, there is a lot of packages not able to be installed due to missing dependencies (e.g. some libraries MPlayer and so on). But at "yast2 repositories" add comunity repositories like at x86 systms it will be more easy to use it ;-) Regards Ulf

You should use <https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/packman.repo> instead. Andreas. -- Andreas Schwab, SUSE Labs, schwab@suse.de GPG Key fingerprint = 0196 BAD8 1CE9 1970 F4BE 1748 E4D4 88E3 0EEA B9D7 "And now for something completely different."

Thanks Andreas 😀 zypper ar -f -c https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ PackmanTWaarch64 zypper dup --from PackmanTWaarch64 Works now 👍 Ulf

Some rebuilds did not happen for a while because aarch64 machines were offline for a while. It should recover by the end of the week.
But at "yast2 repositories" add comunity repositories like at x86 systms it will be more easy to use it ;-)
As the repo is the same for aarch64, it should just work. Guillaume

@Packman or openSUSE?

OK, nice to know - but nothing for a beginner. I checke according: https://en.opensuse.org/Additional_package_repositories Proposed: # zypper ar -cfp 90 https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ packman # zypper dup --from packman --allow-vendor-change Runs fine :-) Many Thanks
