[opensuse-factory] codecs in 10.3?
Hello, Just finished installing RC1 on PPC. I remembered to see something like 'opensuse-codecs-installer' in changelog, so tried to check, if it means proper mp3 support in 10.3. First experience: I installed GNOME for a test. First tried banshee, did not start. Then totem, but the same. Starting them from the command line shows an ugly loud crash for both applications. Second: installed KDE, as I usually do. Opened the mp3 file with kaffeine. First I got a dialog box, if I want to install a suitable codec. When answering 'yes', I got two pages opened, one for mp3 and a second one for xvid. Both of them explained that I wanted to open an unsupported media file, but nothing more. Question: what is the status of codec support? Do I see useless pages, because no content is yet there, or because PPC is not supported? (I have yet to install on x86) Bye, CzP --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Both start perfectly fine here. We have no bug reports about them crashing on start up. Please file with a trace if you can replicate them.

I believe its because the content is not finished there yet. This is what you would go to as part of both GNOME and KDE via gstreamer. -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr@novell.com> Novell, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

OK, I'm doing now another install but will make reports as soon as I'm finished.

Content is now there, just after I sent my e-mail ;-) I downloaded the fluendo plugin, installed as suggested in the documentation, but mp3 is still not played by kaffeine, I keep getting the dialog, if I want to search for plugins...

I don't know if this helps, but I built and installed these packages plus libmad, lame, faad and faac. My mp3 files play with opeSUSE kaffeine-0.8.5-29, don't know if kaffeine needs helpers for mp3 files like it needs libdvdcss for DVD's. # rpm -qa|grep mpeg mpeg2dec-0.4.1-1 ffmpeg-20070912-50 Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
