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? 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).

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

no problem to run this, either directly on Firefox or with vlc on Leap42.3

Here firefox 60.1.0 on OS 42.3, seamonkey and chromium also /cannot/ play that video ("the video format is not supoorted"), but VLC (on same OS) plays it with no problem. -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer http://www.daniel-bauer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

libavcodec *58* problem ? I tabooed it

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.

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
