I have a copy of Windows 7 Professional installed - not installed in a virtual drive - and have the VLC (version 2.1.3 for Windows) installed there.
Last night I booted into W#7 to watch a Blu-ray disc but accidentally (force of habit I guess as VLC is what I use in openSUSE) selected VLC to view this Bd disc.
To my total surprise VLC played that Bd disc perfectly and flawlessly!
However, when I went back to openSUSE VLC (which is version 2.1.4, btw) in openSUSE had a hernia (as usual) and wouldn't even recognise that a Bd disc was inserted!
So, the question is: why is VLC in Windows able to perfectly play Bd discs while in openSUSE it is a brain-dead application re Blu-ray?
I have checked in YaST and there are libbluray* rpms installed.
I know that this debate took place not long ago about whether to have VLC from openSUSE or from videolan.org installed and I am now wondering if this debate was more relevant than thought at that time.
The VLC for Windows which I have installed comes from videolan.org itself, but the VLC which doesn't play Bd discs in openSUSE comes from openSUSE.
Can anybody throw some light on this, please?
BC You did not mention to have Packman in your list of repositories. Have you?
There are some things which will not work if packman is not one of the repos so, yes, packman is always one of the first repos I add to the list of repositories. Oh, while I think of it and in case this is important, the packman repo has a higher priority (#95) than any of the openSUSE repos.
