I guess it's the same reason openSUSE had libxine. You need it to build e.g. phonon-backend-vlc and it should work for e.g. KDE's ogg system notifications.
But vlc is based on ffmpeg. Without ffmpeg (the way it's built in OBS), it's severely crippled. Which brings me to the issue of ffmpeg. ffmpeg supports lots of codecs that are not patent encumbered, theora included. It would be great for this kind of situation to be able to build ffmpeg in OBS (and openSUSE) with only those codecs. Is there a codec list somewhere? I wouldn't mind trying to prepare such an ffmpeg package. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
