Why did you cut what I had written: --------------------------------------------------------- What I had installed regarding 'gstreamer' was: # rpm -qa | grep -i gstreamer gstreamer-1.4.5-2.4.x86_64 gstreamer-fluendo-mp3-21-1.1.x86_64 libgstreamer-1_0-0-1.4.5-2.4.x86_64 PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-1.0.6-1.5.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-base-1.4.5-1.4.x86_64 --------------------------------------------------------- I do have that thingy installed as gstreamer-fluendo-mp3-21-1.1.x86_64 but that does not work for what I like to do.
I activated the Packman repos
From that I assume that with a "...mp3..." software package one cannot view a so called "MP4" video - in particular not when for a video data stream MPEG-4 Part 10 (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC) is used because - as far as I know - that requires a codec (strictly speaking only the second part of it - a decoder)
With third party software it also worked for me to play a so called "MP4" video (strictly speaking to decode a MPEG-4 Part 10 (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC) video data stream. For me this does not work when I try it with what openSUSE provides. Werner Flamme. you must install plain openSUSE without any third-party software, then you can tell what need to be done to get a H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video data stream decoded. As far as I meanwhile understand the whole thing it would be a legal issue if it had worked to decode a H.264 video data stream with any software that is provided by openSUSE. Furthermore I would be astonished to learn that a "...mp3..." software also supports so called "MP4". I assume Wikipedia is at least basically correct that "MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III,[4] more commonly referred to as MP3, is an audio coding format" while in contrast "MPEG-4 Part 14 or MP4 is a digital multimedia format most commonly used to store video and audio," that cannot be provided by openSUSE. But that is meanwhile all technical geeks stuff. But my primary intent is not the technical stuff. It is clear that openSUSE cannot provide such software so that obviously this cannot work out of the box. My primary intent was to show that there is no useful end-user information when an unexperienced user installs openSUSE without Adobe Flash Player and "just browses" the Internet. When the user hits web content that cannot be preocessed with software that openSUSE is allowed to provide, then the user does not get useful information what the issue is about and an unexperienced user is then lost.
