a few days ago i found packman and VLC repos for openSUSE 11.2 which have been missing until now. i thought i'd find this announced somewhere, but either it wasn't or i missed it. here are the URLs:

packman: http://packman.unixheads.com/suse/factory/ VLC: http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/11.2/

don't know about all packman mirrors, but skynet's got it too. mp3 works fine now on xine w/o using fluendo & gstreamer, which i find rather buggy. didn't try VLC yet, but the app. starts, which it didn't when i last compiled it from source.

Well, I was grossly optimistic in my earlier response to your advice that packman now contains the required files to make xine and kaffeine work correctly under 11.2 :-( .

None of the files necessary to be able to use kaffeine/xine (eg, w32codec) to view digital TV or DVDs are to be seen in the packman directory.

I don't have Factory installed and neither I watch digital TV in my computer. But I highly doubt you need w32codec to view digital TV (for sure you don't need it to watch DVD). To start with, w32codec doesn't works in x86-64 systems, do you mean x86-64 users can't view digital TV in kaffeine? And anyway 99% of the codecs from w32codec are already supported by libavcodec, that's why x86-64 users don't miss it. And to watch commercial DVDs you need libdvdcss. It hasn't been available in Packman for a long time because of a german law, it has always been available in the VLC repo... and continues to be now. If you miss the w32codec use the 11.1 version. These are Windows codecs, they aren't compiled in Linux and so are distro independent. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

you're correct, these files are still missing. i have w32 codecs installed from packman 11.1, and kaffeine / kde 3.5 does not work. the beta (or alpha?) version of kaffeine for 4.3 does work though, at least with the movies i tried it on. the packman factory repo until now contains only a fraction of the files found in other versions, and i guess they're in the process of compiling everything against factory. anyway, even under openSUSE 11.1 i've always found some formats that didn't play, or didn't play well under kaffeine, and i'm keeping VLC around for this purpose. difficult to find something that VLC can't play. -- ys phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

What realplayer are you using ? The rpm from real website or the rpm from opensuse 10.3 ? I tried both and none of those worked on 11.2. Also MPlayer on 11.1 could play those files not sure on 11.2.

AFAIK, openSUSE doesn't any longer provide an rpm for realplayer, you have to get it from them.

well, i didn't say anything about kaffeine. only said that mp3 was working under xine. here i was refering to the xine backend for phonon, should have made that more clear i guess. -- ys phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
