Second, openSUSE's gstreamer packages lack support for most restricted codecs (mpg and flv f.e., but MP3 _is_ included, so that's why you can hear sound but don't see a video), you need to install the packages from Packman for that. So please switch _all_ gstreamer packages to the Packman versions, and also install this additional gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly-orig-addon (for mpg and flv you would need gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good and gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad respectively, but I think those are installed by default). Or switch to the phonon-backend-vlc in KDE's sound settings (you might have to install it first) and install vlc-codecs to get full codec support. And the gstclutter plugin is definitely _not_ needed, clutter is a GNOME library. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Try dragonplayer, that one does use phonon. Does it work there?

yes no pb

I do think at the moment that this widget comes from nepomuk, which is built without ffmpeg support in openSUSE. Maybe that's the problem? I will try to build it with ffmpeg support and report back.

ok thanks for movie icon i use ffmpeg thumbnailer -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

With phonon-backend-vlc it still does not work, but I suppose that's an upstream limitation of the vlc backend. Unfortunately this is a WONTFIX though I'm afraid. nepomuk-core cannot be shipped with ffmpeg support because of legal reasons. There was a nepomuk-ffmpegindexer package on Packman, but that's still at 4.10.0 and only available for openSUSE 12.3 and Factory. But you might want to ask there, although I doubt they would offer 4.12.x packages. Normally they only build against the standard repos. It might be acceptable to provide an optional nepomuk-ffmpegindexer package in the KDE repos (built against RedDwarf's fakePackman packages f.e.), but I cannot tell. 4.12.2 packages are here if you want to try them: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/wolfi323:/branches:/KDE:/Rel... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The video preview _is not_ dependent on nepomuk-core's ffmpegindexer, that is only used to read the metadata (e.g. the duration). After re-installing the standard nepomuk-core package (without ffmpeg support) video preview in the information panel is still working for me. But only with the gstreamer backend, not with vlc. I have no idea then why it doesn't work for you, since you apparently have the necessary codecs installed (since the same videos play in dragonplayer, right?). Have you set gstreamer as the backend in "Configure Desktop"(systemsettings)->Multimedia->Audio and Videosettings->Backend? (it has to be the first in the list) Maybe try to remove the gstreamer plugin cache in ~/.gstreamer-0.10/ (just remove the whole directory). Googling for video/x-surface leads to gstreamer-vaapi so try to install gstreamer-0_10-plugins-vaapi, or maybe uninstall it if you have it installed (I don't have it). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

it remains the "duration" pb . are you sure there is no other way for nepomuk to know the duration ? because with my old mandriva 2010 kde 4.8.4 there is the nepomuk tag "duration" and mandriva also does not install packet for legal reason .

Yes I am sure. In KDE 4.8 strigi was still used for that, which included at least an avi data extractor without the need for ffmpeg or anything similar. But since 4.10 nepomuk has its own indexers (written from scratch), and for video files there's only the ffmpeg-based one. But that's the other bug report. This one could be closed then I suppose. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
