As Jason Craig says, you probably want the libavdcodec from packman.
Thank you both for your insights, and for redirecting the conversation to the correct list. I guess I'll try switching over to the Packman repository. Out of curiosity, do we know why libavcodec59 is absent from the videolan.org repo? https://en.opensuse.org/VLC says that…
