Just curious... does the VLC that we can install from the openSUSE Factory repo actually play anything?
I was beating my head against the wall here today trying to figure out why VLC was unable to play anything on my openSUSE 12.1 install. Normally VLC is the be-all-play-all application on any OS. I tried everything I could think of until it hit me to check where it was installed from... and it was installed from the KDE4 playground Factory repo. I switched over to the VLC from Packman all all my multimedia started working again.
This leads me to ask... since VLC in the Factory repo is so severely crippled that it appears to be completely unusable, why is anyone even bothering to put it in there? I understand (and hate) the whole argument around codecs etc... that's not what I am asking here... If the player cannot be used for the vast majority of the videos is it worth the time and effort of including it in Factory?
It is *not* included in Factory... you just said yourself you got it from the KDE:Unstable:Playground repo. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
