I'd suggest to add the VideoLAN repository and install VLC. It comes with all the needed things to help you out of your situation. Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Right thanks for the answer. Since I don't have internet at home I would have to download them at the office and then install. Do I download all the contents of the i586 directory and install them.

Uh, that will make it a bit more difficult. You won't be able to install ALL the rpms in the repository, as there are two conflicting ones (vlc-beta and vlc). There will even be dependencies to the openSUSE system. I can't guarantee that you have this all activated already. What you can try is in fact really download all the packages, and then try to install using rpm. Start with vlc, it will give you a bunch of dependencies that are not satisfied. You should be able to figure out another package out of the missing libraries (libffmpeg0, libmpeg2 are for sure needed...) But having this without internet access will make it rather difficult for you I'm afraid :( Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Installing rpm from a repo without internet access is not trivial. It is quite hard, in fact, because you can't know what packages an rpm will depend on nowdays (rpm will report the libraries it needs, not the rpms). What I would do is compile them myself, and I would choose xine. You would need xine-ui, xinelib, and libdvdcss (possibly illegal, but necessary). Maybe you would need extra codecs later (from packman). - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Install smplayer. It plays stuff that hasn't even been invented yet. Don Henson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
