http://www.opensuse-guide.org/codecs.php for Leap 42.2

After my last re-install of Leap 42.2 I couldn't play or edit any mp4 file, and VLC crashed with any file, like a mp3 or mp4. The solution was to make (with the Packman repo enabled): "sudo zypper dup --from Packman" After this, VLC works fine, and I can play or edit the mp4 files with the desired applications.

http://www.opensuse-guide.org/codecs.php is *only* to answer the request for libdvdcss2. The "path" you state is a given but has *nothing* to do with libdvdcss2.

And what happens if the user really can not play any video file with VLC (like my computer before the repo change), and it thinks wrong that the problem is libdvdcss2, because all the multimedia applications of Opensuse has no support for the codec h264? As mentioned before, by about 2 months I couldn't open a mp4 video file, like to play or edit them, and VLC crashed with any file, like an mp3 audio. What is the reason that Opensuse does not support the h264 codec?

you probably had mixed packages for vlc, packman and videolan

Two months ago, I made a clean install of Leap 42.2, and enabled the videolan and Packman repos as I made by many years before. I probed different versions of VLC and all crashed, until the point to thinking that the problem was the amdgpu-pro driver, before I made the migration to Packman of the libraries and multimedia apps.

not "Opensuse" but openSUSE which has a presence in the USA and must therefore adhere to USA patient law which restricts decoding h264.

it is called drm, digital rights management. --

I am an advocate of free software and Opensuse, but I really find it embarrassing when in one of the computers with Opensuse can not play a mp4 video recorded with the cell phone. I live in Argentina, and here does not apply the USA patents laws which restricts decoding h264. Many years ago, in the Debian distro they was a repo called "NON-US", to by pass this type of law restrictions.

Hello,

Is it better to install vlc from packman repository or from Videolan?

It doesn't matter, but be sure you do not mix packages from both sources (main and codecs or libraries for vlc)

You get it from videolan, or from another repo I don't remember the name that only holds the libdvdcss2 file.

Use the libdvdcss2 package found in the VideoLAN repository. Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
