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). But I've also discovered that VLC's error handling is less than ideal. It seems to take quite a long while to recover from an error. So I've experimented with other players to see whether that is the fundamental nature of video (specifically DVB TV) or is player-dependent, and I've discovered that another player - totem (though oddly listed instead as the unspecific 'Videos' in menus) - also has the capability to play sound quickly and seems to have much better error recovery. 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?) Oh and is it worth bug-reporting VLC's error handling? (which I can only do vaguely). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
