Though I am oversimplifying, VLC is just a frontend for ffmpeg (and/or gstreamer, but that's just looks like a framework too).
Really?
I have to admit that I'm not aware of the details, but why does vlc-codecs contain these files then? /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/codec/libfaad_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/codec/liblibmpeg2_plugin.so /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/codec/libx264_plugin.so (and also vdpau stuff like /usr/lib64/vlc/libvlc_vdpau.so.0 )
One of the reasons I dislike VLC. They (used to) use their own compiled libraries, often patched from the default ones, basically it was almost self-supported like a flatpak... Not sure if that has changed. (the other reason was that the one time I installed it, at that time from their package, it immediately withot asking put itself in as default application for any format it supported, messing up my own configuration...) For what I need mpv is for sure enough. But that was of course not the question ;^> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
