Hi,
I haven't played a video on my computer for about two or >three weeks, and went to play one last evening. But all of the sudden >none of my dvd (video) players will work and play videos. I will try to >provide a rundown on what is happening with each player in separate >emails. But they were working, now they are not.
I am using Opensuse 13.2, with kde 4.14.9. The vlc player is >version 2.2.3-1.1-x86_64 from vendor http://packman-links2linus.de >The videos I am trying to play are MP4 files stored on my hard drive.
When I try to play a video with this player, the video chugs >and alternately stops and starts, while the audio plays >normally. In addition, the picture becomes largely pixillated and the >colors degrade as if the colors changed from a multitude of shades to just a >few shades, then it corrects and starts the process all over >again.
I will need some help to fix this one.
Thanks, Mark
As all(!) of your multimedia applications fail, isn't it that (for the updates occurred in ffmpeg / >chromium-ffmpeg you did inadvertedly agree to a vendor change >from packman to opensuse? This will then have given a mixed setup with loss of >multimedia given the known limitations of the opensuse >packages due to the copyright / IP restrictions (see also >restricted formats). Try to check that all files of packman of the restricted >format bunch are correctly installed and did not change >vendor. This will b.t.w. always happen if during the packaging the >numbers are not completely coherent. And that does happen >more frequent that one thinks..
Hi, thanks for your excellent suggestion. I made sure everything was drawn from the Packman repository and now all the multimedia programs work again.

I am happy to hear that. One kind request: Since you did open quite a lot of threads, to avoid people >trying to help out on things already cleared, could you just >close your threads with {Solved]? The we are sure nobody is >getting confused / frustrated. Thank you and have a lot of fun.
vlc turns out to be the only program whose behavior is unchanged from my initial post, which I have copied above in this email. Its still not working correctly even though I have made sure it is drawn from the Packman repository.
