http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1007087 Bug ID: 1007087 Summary: openSUSE Leap 42.2 repositories provide VLC media player, but fail to provide the normal VLC codecs to play all formats Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: nsleasy@hotmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- The user is able to install VLC Media Player from the openSUSE Leap 42.2 (Beta RC1) repositories, but not able to play media files. Normally, a package such as vlc-data or vlc-codecs is installed along with VLC to provide the necessary codecs to play all formats. This codecs package is missing from the openSUSE 42.2 repositories. The VLC Videolan repository contains the codecs package, as follows: *** zypper ar http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/Leap_42.2/ VLC zypper mr -r VLC zypper se vlc ... | vlc-codecs | VLC: VideoLAN Client - Codec extens-> | package ... *** However, an alternative install using the Videolan repository above produces the following irreconcilable error: *** zypper in vlc Problem: nothing provides libopencv_core.so.2.4()(64bit) needed by vlc-noX-2.2.4-212.1.x86_64 Solution 1: do not install vlc-2.2.4-212.1.x86_64 Solution 2: break vlc-noX-2.2.4-212.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies *** ==> Reference also the following old openSUSE 12.2 issue: Bug 686966 - VLC Repository missing in YaST community repositories This will be an important issue for many end users. Seems like the easiest thing to do is simply include the vlc-codecs package along with the openSUSE Leap provided VLC application. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
