Why? Users who want working codecs can just get them from Packman. OpenSuSE is then not involved at all. I have never been able to view videos in any viewer software with the packages that OpenSuSE provides;
Because those videos were not free. And remember that besides getting packman packages, you could instead purchase the codecs legally. It is your decision to install packman packages instead. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.2 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))
