I have received a number of messages from various sources with a video attached, but across the face of what must be the first screen, is the message, "This video cannot be played." I'm curious--what kind of video is being sent that cannot be player, and why? --doug

Well, create a new one on how to install openSUSE. And very close to the start, write: Just after the first boot, add pacman repository and do the packman switch. Otherwise, video and multimedia will not work. Then, write the instructions to install your printers and your scanners, you are always asking this. Or, create a FAQ: Question: I can not view some videos. Says "this video can not be played". Answer: Do the packman switch. And then, explain to yourself what is the packman switch. Or google "do the packman switch" with quotes. If you google "opensuse faq" one of the two hits is https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Desktop_FAQ And there you will see your question: Multimedia Why can't I play MP3 music or H.264 video? ↓ I cannot watch YouTube video in Firefox! ↓ How to install codecs from Packman repository? and you will be pointed to: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installing_codecs_from_Packman_repositories with several methods. Option 3 is the one I reccomend. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

The answer is the same as two decades ago, nothing new: you have to do the packman switch.

I get that message all the time using PaleMoonx64 on Windows. There is no packman to switch to, but switching to Opera seems to work. One FF/PM extension has a nasty problem that causes breakage on some sites. Extension: RequestPolicy. It allows/disallows sites to be "referenced" based on the caller. Provides temporary and permanent permissions. Where I see problems is on google-related sites, where a 3rd level domain is autogenerated for some which adds a few bounces until a final fail -- the problem is that non of the failing URI's have the 3rd level domain in it, so you can't easily find out what is wanted nor can you add that domain to RP's whitelist. The only workaround at that point is to "temporarily allow all calls", then it won't fail, but since the URI is dynamically generated, you can't really add a white list entry that will satisfy RP. Real pain -- it should be integrated with NoScript, but anytime I've looked at it, I've usually made it worse and had to backout the change. !!!

I have no idea what to do in Windows. Well, I use VLC to display videos. And Firefox or perhaps Chrome as browser. Or the one Windows brings.

"This video cannot be played." I'm curious--what kind of video is being sent that cannot be player, and why?

The answer is the same as two decades ago, nothing new: you have to do the packman switch.

I get that message all the time using PaleMoonx64 on Windows. There is no packman to switch to, but switching to Opera seems to work. I tried to implement the packman trick, but it doesn't work, and now I get a slew of messages that packman has failed. --doug

...
One FF/PM extension has a nasty problem that causes breakage on some sites. Extension: RequestPolicy. It allows/disallows sites to be "referenced" based on the caller. Provides temporary and permanent permissions.

Where I see problems is on google-related sites, where a 3rd level domain is autogenerated for some which adds a few bounces until a final fail -- the problem is that non of the failing URI's have the 3rd level domain in it, so you can't easily find out what is wanted nor can you add that domain to RP's whitelist. The only workaround at that point is to "temporarily allow all calls", then it won't fail, but since the URI is dynamically generated, you can't really add a white list entry that will satisfy RP. Real pain -- it should be integrated with NoScript, but anytime I've looked at it, I've usually made it worse and had to backout the change. !!!

sudo zypper in opi opi codecs Confirm everything Done Thank you, I think! There were supposed to be four solutions, but I didn't see four. I told it to go ahead. At the end of a long trail, it said it installed with an error. We'll see what happens. --doug

<a href="https://sensitivityconverter.net/">FOV calculators</a> are very common these days. In first individual computer games (FPS shooter games), the field of view or field of vision (abridged FOV) is the degree of the noticeable game world that is seen on the showcase at any given moment. It is commonly estimated as a point. Despite the fact that whether this point is the diagonal, vertical, or horizontal of the field of view. It differs from one game to another.

Much thanks to you, I think! There should be four arrangements, yet I didn't see four. I advised it to go on. Toward the finish of a long path, it said it introduced with a blunder. We'll see what occurs. - doug https://yesornowheel.info/

What are all these bizarre messages with From addresses at gmail.com and User-Agent: HyperKitty on https://lists.opensuse.org/ Are they real messages from subscribed people, or are they a new form of spam?

You need to click as many times as possible before the time runs out. Don't hesitate to try what you want. Check it out to get your best score (CPS - clicks per second). According to our big data, the average CPS is 6.51, and according to Google, the global document is 14.1. You can set up your record with a click counter. https://clickcounter.info

I have received a number of messages from various sources with a video attached, but across the face of what must be the first screen, is the message, "This video cannot be played." I'm curious--what kind of video is being sent that cannot be player, and why? --doug

https://www.opensuse-community.org/ Just click on 1 Click Install under KDE Codecs or GNOME Codecs, depending if you are using KDE or GNOME and follow the instructions. When asked if you want to switch vendor to Packman with some packages, just select the Packman version. This is the only "official" way. Regards, Gryffus
