Fred, I suggest that in the first instance you download the DVD and install 11.1 Beta 4 from it. It's a lot easier than doing so from the CD Live. Secondly, enable the packman repo from the list of repositories. Then you have to manually add the videolan repo: http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/SuSE/11.1 There is now also a new file which is needed to play DVDs/TV: libxine1-codecs so search for this (in software management) and select. You will also find Mplayer which you are after.

No, you need videolan. Select only packman and do a search in Software Management you will not find w32codec nor libdvdcss.

there is no w32codec in videolan, and w32codecs are mostly useless because all uses ffmpeg. libdvdcss is the only one, you coudn't get on packman. Detlef -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

There's no equivalent. But you don't have to add the repo. You can also download just what you want from there. And VLC is absolutely a great video player. It has played practically anything that I've thrown at it. Sometimes I've had a broken file that cannot be played with anything else. VLC has said: The video file is broken. Do you want it fixed? It has succeeded many times in that.

Hello, you're right i can download instead of adding a repo, this might be better than adding a repo for 1 package :=) In case i add the videolan repo : I'd rather use packman's files than the one from videolan repo , i guess i should then increase the priority of packman (99 is default, so < 99) ;-) Thanks Fabrice -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Yes you can make videolan 120 and the only package that you will get is libdvdcss and of course when newer versions are available the update will be visible. You can also give packman a lower priority than opensuse to ensure you don't accidentally replace packman packages. This behavior is in 11.1 but still may be a moving target. Regards Dave P Sorry I need to clarify a higher priority number reduces priority and vice versa ie videolan=120 packman=75 opensuse=99 then newer packman packages that are also in opensuse will take priority but packages in opensuse that are also in videolan will take priority and a package that is only available in videolan will be the package that zypper or yast will install. You can test this easily with zypper if package and see where zypper says the package is from.

I wonder if it's possible to assign videolan a lower priority by default when it's added via "Community repositories". Since libdvdcss is pretty important, but having both packman and videolan with equal priority is very messy. For 11.0 I've stolen the libdvdcss-packages from videolan and created my own repo, with _only_ libdvdcss. I use this for a codec 1-click which I offer to the Danish community. http://suse.linuxin.dk/repo/11.0 I plan to do the same for 11.1. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

The problem is some people prefer videolan over packman but I suppose the ideal situation would be to ask, when the repo is added which one you want to take precedence. I see videolan is not on the community repo list yet.

I've never heard of nor found an equivalent. If you want to avoid videolan packages taking precedence over packman then set the videolan repository priority higher than any others in yast repository manager.

From man zypper (from 11.0): "Set priority of the repository. Priority of 1 is the highest, the higher the number the lower the priority. Default priority is 99. Packages from repositories with higher priority will be preferred even in case there is a higher installable version available in the repository with a lower priority."

But it is different to Smart behavior. Smart will always replace to the package from the repo with the highest priority. ZYpp will only replace a package if *all* these conditions are true: a) The new package has a higher version/release number than the installed package. b) The new package has the same vendor than the installed package (vendor strings starting with "suse" are considered equivalents to vendor strings starting with "opensuse", case insensitive) c) The new package is available in a repository with a higher priority than the repository from the installed package. If the installed package isn't available anymore in any of the installed/configured repositories the priority is "-infinity". So if you have OSS with priority 50 and Packman with priority 90 and OSS has gstreamer 0.10.1 and Packman has gstreamer 0.10.2: - If you try to install gstreamer without having a previous copy installed, the OSS (older) version will be selected. - If you have the OSS version installed, the Packman version will *not* be selected for update. - If you have the Packman version installed, the OSS version will *not* be selected for update. So the end result also depends of the installed version. With Smart after an update you will always end with he OSS version installed, downgrading from Packman if needed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
