If you purchased the boxed version of SuSE 10.0, the multimedia pack is included. If you downloaded your 10.0 or running OpenSuSE 10.x, it is not included and will not be available via a YOU update as it was in 9.3. You'll find what you need on Packman now.

It's been mentioned here several times already, but I guess once more won't hurt. You'll find all the "extra" files you need there for multimedia play.

I wanted to have a link to tell newbies which packages they need to download to get their multimedia working.

I asked this on the doc-mailing list (and was told I shouild have better done this on the wiki one :-) ), and Mr. Schroeter was so kind to update the wiki pages. So you can just direct newbies to: http://www.opensuse.org/Restricted_Formats Ciao Siegbert

Im sorry, but I find no list of packages on this page.

There is written: "It can be used via amaroK or banshee" [..] "and install either amarok-helix or banshee-helix" I suppose those are the names of the packages. I'm just downloading 10.0 so I can't tell myself. Ciao Siegbert

That is not what I was looking for. I know that you can listen to MP3s with amarok and the helix plugin. But what if you want to use xmms? Or burn your MP3s with K3b? Therefore you need the packages, that were summed up in the 4 MultimediaPacks in Suse 9.3. And Im looking for a list of those. Clear now? OJ -- "And trust no-- Trust practically no-one. All right?

Just add the source list on the article and then install Mplayer and upgrade: xmms, xine, k3b, etc.

and kdemultimedia ... not sure about k3b, and don'y see it in the packman list. -- Marcel Mourguiart

You mean all this thread was about was to find the correct additional YaST package repositories? The should make a page name `Additional YaST Package Repositories`. Oh wait, there is : http://www.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories

Well the original question was how to listen mp3, but later he start to ask for k3b, xmms, etc. And he know already the answers but he want to "listen it from us" just to explain it to other newbies. -- Marcel Mourguiart

But as k3b-mad is not installed, there is no use in adding a installation source and upgrading. You would need to know what else you need to add.

Add this source too: http://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/10.0/ And upgrade k3b and install k3b-mad and k3b-lame in case it doesn't install automatically with the upgrade. Don't forget to upgrade kdemultimedia. -- Marcel Mourguiart

You really want to know the package names of 9.3's multimedia packs?

Obviously ;-)

Here you go: 4.2. SuSE 9.3: Wo sind die Multimedia-Anwendungen? http://suse-linux-faq.koehntopp.de/q/q-suse93-multimedia.html (the page is german, but the package list is international ;-)

Sad to say that it took so long to get to this link. ;-( I dont want to say anything about the others, who tried to help and tried to understand me. But to get "the full multimedia experience" with Suse 9.3 or the 10.x's you nedd to do more than just install the amarok-helix plugin. That was why I was looking for this list. I had not to much time to look for it, but I was sure I had seen it. Thanks a lot, OJ -- Programming is like sex: if you make a mistake, you have to support it for the rest of your life. (unknown)

I believe amarok supports mp3, meaning it has its own mp3 solution built in. -Cameron There are several ways. One is to install Realplayer and the helix-plugins for amarok and gstreamer. Another one is to install libmad and mad, or just everything from packman, what plays multimedia :-).

I believe amarok supports mp3, meaning it has its own mp3 solution built in. -Cameron

Hi Cameron, no, amarok uses e.g. xine to play mp3. -- mdc
