[opensuse] Lost ability to play a TS file.
I seem to have lost the ability to play a TS file direct from a PVR (Topfield 2400) I could do this a while back in VLC (and Kaffeine, I believe), but was having issues playing radio streams from the net, through Amarok. Read that a fix for this was to install VLC from the videolan repo. Did this, and it fixed that problem, but obviously broke my ability to play TS files. Have now reverted back and am running VLC V2.0.6-117.1 from pacman (streams still seem to be playing), but still can't play TS files - if I convert them to something else, all is good. Running VLC from the command line gives me: VLC media player 2.0.6 Twoflower (revision 2.0.6-0-gbe9623c) [0x1133878] main interface error: no suitable interface module [0xfab0a8] main libvlc error: interface "globalhotkeys,none" initialization failed [0xfab0a8] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. Mediainfo gives me the following on the file in question: General Complete name : /home/movies/VCR/Analog Stream-5.mpg Format : MPEG-TS Format profile : No PAT/PMT File size : 384 MiB Duration : 12mn 20s Overall bit rate mode : Variable Overall bit rate : 4 348 Kbps Video ID : 4130 (0x1022) Format : MPEG Video Format version : Version 2 Format profile : Main@Main Format settings, BVOP : Yes Format settings, Matrix : Custom Format settings, GOP : M=2, N=16 Duration : 12mn 19s Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 3 939 Kbps Maximum bit rate : 6 000 Kbps Width : 720 pixels Height : 576 pixels Display aspect ratio : 4:3 Frame rate : 25.000 fps Standard : PAL Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Interlaced Scan order : Bottom Field First Compression mode : Lossy Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.380 Time code of first frame : 00:00:17:18 Time code source : Group of pictures header Stream size : 347 MiB (91%) Running 12.3 x64, fully updated, almost standard repos (+pacman+chrome+LibreOffice +akoellh(for ripperX)) Any suggestions?

Sorry to press the point but I really did mean the file 'vlc-codecs' and not k3b-codecs and others. There was a glitch in packaging vlc and the codecs for it - vlc-codecs - were not part of the whole package and so need to be installed separately. A TS file is part of the DVD so there is no reason why it should not be played by vlc - I just played 3 DVDs with no hassles. Just as a matter of interest, do you get any error message if you try to run vlc from the command line in a terminal?
