[opensuse] Why can't VLC on opensuse play .mp4 file that plays fine in VLC for windows?
All, I do not do online video stuff often, but had a link from SO question about a 2-body problem for a game engine that I tried to look at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WExMN1jGknjy4k8qg9MLE5S459eqQIY-/view?usp=s... When I attempt to watch with VLC on 42.3 it tells me no codec for mp4a and error in part 10. Opening the same file in VLC on Win7 plays just fine Is there something that I've screwed up in my VLC install (from packman) or is this a no codec on Linux issue? -- David C.

It's probably something to do with the recent updates to the codecs, precipitated by a chromium update. Firstly check that you're completely up-to-date, because there were problems introduced by the initial update. Then you'll need to search for your exact symptoms, unless somebody else knows the exact problem. There was some discussion on this list a little while ago, as one place to look. FWIW, when I clicked on the link (Leap 15.0) FF said "Oops! There was a problem playing this video." I clicked on Download and it suggested handbrake as a target. I accepted and it played at least some of the video (I don't know what handbrake does, it's evidently not just a simple video player). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks Dave, Handbrake is actually a quite good screen video creation tool (kind of like what you were looking at in the video link I posted). It let's you make a video of what you are doing on your desktop. I'm currently playing with plasma 18.0.4.3 and Qt5.11.1 and I'm cussing... It took 4-times longer to login to plasma than it did to boot from power-off to full kde3. And I still can't set the damn font size for the stupid clock in the tray.... Spectacle kept disappearing when I would click "Take New Snapshot" (I though it was crashing), 4 tries (and several minutes) later, I click "Take New Snapshot" and all 4 snapshot magically appeared (all taken at the same moment, instead of when I actually took them) I'll finish update here -- then this drive is getting yanked.... -- David C.

Opening the link on PCLOS kde5, it plays video fine, but without sound. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I am a bit puzzled (so what else is new?! :-)). In Leap 15.0 there are 3 'versions' of this file: libavcodec56 libavcodec57 libavcodec58 all by the same author (at SUSE, tchvatal) but have different version numbers, and all reside in /usr/lib64. "Duplication"? Just wondering... BC -- There comes a time in the affairs of a man when he has to take the bull by the tail and face the situation.

dunno. I only know some days ago the *58* version couldn't come from packman, then didn't play mp4 jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Same with Firefox on Tumbleweed. It played fine. I use packman. But t be honest I cannot say that all the libs are currently from packman. I sometimes let it use the openSUSE repo versions when doing updates. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Plays fine here. Both inside FF and outside with Xine and Vlc. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Is there something that I've screwed up in my VLC install (from packman) or is this a no codec on Linux issue? There are a couple of forums threads on this issue, seems related to a mix of ffmpeg related packages from the OSS and Packman repos. Run a zypper dup --from "Packman repo no here"
