A couple of days ago zypper installed a number of updates to the KDE 4.8 files I am using - including some to vlc.
Of course following this, vlc would not work and I therefore had to do what everybody has been doing for a long time and that is install vlc from videolan.org as a "one-click install".
Don't understand this maneuver. I haven't had to perform it. But I also do not use videolan repo; I use packman except for the codecs. Also, istr that there was problems mixing videolan/packman but do not know if that is still true.
Following this, vlc worked again - *BUT*, unlike to what has been the case for the past years, when I switch to another workspace/desktop vlc audio goes MUTE while vlc continues running, in the background, on the workspace where I always run it (Desktop #6). (This going mute is similar to what happens in, say, the game Pysol - Tri Peaks which goes into PAUSE mode when you switch to another desktop.)
I have not noticed this but recently have used clementine for streaming rather than vlc and may have missed noticing..... -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
