[opensuse] restricted formats howto
Where is it? http://en.opensuse.org/Restricted_Formats is missing links to anything useful getting them to work, while http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=Category:Howto seems to have only bits and pieces, with no real guide how or where to proceed to get mpeg or mp3 players to play anything. Seems the index is missing some page that runs down the various formats and then points to what's needed to get them to work.

I think it was apparent from what I wrote I knew I needed a page about restricted formats. I guess the better question would have been What web URL is home to the howto for finding all the *opensuse*.org and any other base URLs one needs to know about in order to find necessary things to complete an install and get decent self-help. I found from that *community* URL the codecs-kde.ymp one-click and ran it, but Amarok doesn't acknowledge .mp3 as a playable format. Ogg works, Kaffeine plays mpegs, and Youtubes work. -- "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?" Matthew 7:12 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Amarok decided to play mp3s after all, but CDs it won't play. It finds and creates a playlist, but it plays each song about 1/4 second each and finishes. :-( Banshee won't do a CD either, but at least it complains about dbus not working. rpm query shows dbus-1-x11 & dbus-1-qt3 installed. I don't see any obvious clues in /var/log/messages or ~/.xsession-errors. How do I get dbus to work for music CDs in 11.0? Kaffeine won't play a DVD either, claiming maybe no rights, but even doz claims a DVD plugin needs to be purchased to play a DVD. :-p -- "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?"
