Need help installing the proper codecs from packman
Hello, due to the recent issues with Mesa in Packman, I had to switch back to Factory packages. This also switched back various codec packages meaning that I can no longer play back videos in Firefox. I reinstalled just the codecs from Packman according to [1] but not Mesa since it's still broken on my Thinkpad T14 with AMD graphics with the result that I still cannot play back videos. Does anyone know whether Mesa from packman is also required for video playback with proprietary codecs or I'm still missing a certain codec package in case the instructions in [1] are outdated?

go to yast, select repo packman, there ist somewhere in the middle of on of the lines on top a text "switch system packages" "to this versions in this repositorys (packman repository)" then remove the selection off all mesa stuff (that it will not be changed). accept. now it should work (i think). simoN -- www.becherer.de
And by the way, this is a support question and therefore it should not be asked on this list. use: support@lists.opensuse.org or users@lists.opensuse.org simoN -- www.becherer.de

It's a question that arose from a regression in packages in Factory and I think it's therefore a discussion that can be held here. Adrian

I only use [1] and that's enough for Firefox. Not sure if you need anything else for vlc/mplayer/etc. Thanks, Robert [1]: https://en.opensuse.org/OpenH264
