Hello,

I have installed VLC from packman and things generally worked fine - until I wanted to play a WMV file, which VLC just can't play.

I googled but all I could find was a reference to vlc-codecs, which is installed. Here is zypper if for the package:

Information for package vlc-codecs: ----------------------------------- Repository: Packman Repository Name: vlc-codecs Version: 2.2.4-3.1 Arch: x86_64 Vendor: http://packman.links2linux.de Installed: Yes Status: up-to-date Installed Size: 528.3 KiB Summary: VLC: VideoLAN Client - Codec extension Description: This Package enhances the functionality of the VLC VideoLAN Client with Codecs that are not available in a stock openSUSE distribution.

mplayer plays WMV files fine, but I do like to have a GUI like VLC. Can I get WMV codecs for VLC somehow? Or should I just switch to something mplayer-based, like smplayer?

Do you have VLC codec package and avi-codec packages from Packman installed? VLC codec is NOT automatically selected, in my experience you have to select it manually. --- Mail & Cloud Made in Germany mit 3 GB Speicher! https://email.freenet.de/mail/Uebersicht?epid=e9900000450 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

This should bring in all the codecs needed for VLC to work. You may have replaced a package from Packman with the equivalent package from the opensuse repositories. Force a refresh of vlc-codecs to fix any such

Change libavcodec56 to the Packman repository. Use YaST, as it will detect dependency issues, which you can then resolve with a single click. From a quick spot-check of dependencies, I think that should suffice to change all these providers from opensuse to Packman. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

In fact you should change : libavcodec56 libavdevice56 libavfilter5 libavformat56 libavresample2 libavutil54 to packman packages to be safe. Regards Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have done that, using YaST (the Versions tab for every package). VLC plays WMV files now.
