I recall mentioning not too long ago about the dependency errors which keep coming up in 13.1 - but I don't remember in which list I mentioned it nor do I remember what the answer (if any) was.
I raise the issue again because I just cannot fathom what the heck I am supposed to do to resolve these dependency problems which YaST keeps spitting out at me. I am trying to get VLC to play not only Blu-ray files but now I found out that it won't even play files downloaded from YouTube. All files are playable in 12.3 but NOT in 13.1 - and I cannot figure out why.
I don't know for blu-ray and youtube, but this is what I did. I only added this VideoLan repo: http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/SuSE/13.1/
Please note that I had to completely uninstall all VLC packages before installing them from the VideoLan repo anew. Otherwise, yast would have run into similar dependency issues.
You can do this without prior uninstalling: zypper dup --from 'SuSE (13.1)' Here 'SuSE (13.1)' is the default name of the videolan repo. They should have taken something more specific name -- and use openSUSE instead of SuSE ;-) You have to use the name you have chosen when you have changed it. While using "zypper dup" in general is dangerous, it may be useful with the from option. So some days ago the libvpx1 has been added to packman and wasn't pulled in automatically by "zypper up" But beware: when using videolans repo you should not use packman, too. Mixing both is calling for trouble. If you do need other packages from packman, you better use vlc from there instead of videolans repo. Many problems with openSUSE come from improper mixing repositories or installing video drivers from NVIDIA or AMD without using provided rpms. Even when it seems to work for the first time, it can give trouble later. Good luck!
