I bought a TV card recently and consequently have become more interested in the capabilities of video players than I was.
By default I have tended to use VLC because I like it's interface and it's capability to play videos at faster than normal speeds whilst still producing intelligible audio (good for watching documentaries, I find). Oh, I'm interested in that. How do you trigger that behaviour? +/-
I've also now noticed that I have totem from the openSUSE OSS repository (Leap 15.0; totem 3.26.0) whilst my VLC comes from packman (3.0.2). So can anybody who understands these things explain why I apparently need to get VLC from packman whilst openSUSE can supply totem and packman don't seem to need to provide a de-crippled version? (whatever crippled means in this context - why do packman need to supply VLC?)
Because totem uses an "engine" that is already installed.
Legolas:~ # rpm -qR totem /sbin/ldconfig /sbin/ldconfig gstreamer-plugins-base gstreamer-plugins-good ...
It is using gstreamer, and parts or all of this may come from Packman.
Totem hauls in a lot of gstreamer, with much of it available only on Packman. (I already had the default gstreamer from the OS install on my system, totem adds another 15 rpms beyond that, and 11 of those are only on Packman.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
