[opensuse] WMV plugin question
Hi all,, I've looked around and can't figure this out. I would like to see videos with wmv format. Where can I get the plugin for this?

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I've been watching wmv formatted videos in linux for years - mplayer et al. Perhaps you're seeing a new variant? Could you provide an example of a wmv file that won't play for you? Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No file ending in .wmv will work with any video on my system. I'm using SuSE 10.1 and I just checked the disk does not have mplayer on it. What should I do?

There are howtos on the web explaining this - specific to suse. search on video/multimedia on suse. Suse doesn't ship with copyright-breaking codecs or players, so you have to get them from third party providers. I use 'smart' for package management and you just have to enable 'packman' and 'guru' repositories and replace all your video players with versions from them (unless you build from source, anyway). Then go out and separately get libdvdcss from another site. Gavin. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Why would you do that? Install MPlayer from the repos (the ones already mentioned) and then also include the w32codecs from the exact same repositories (and also mplayerplugin so you can play embedded video in webpages). No need to go out separately to get libdvdcss... which won't really help with playing WMV files.

Yeh, I am slightly missing the point because I'm talking about encrypted commercial dvds, not only wmv files :-) In that case on my 10.2 install my system wouldn't play dvds until I separately installed libdvdcss ... but then wmv files don't need that treatment, do they? ;-) Gavin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It all becomes clear :-) libdcdcss is also a handy extra to install if you want to play DVDs. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Color me dumb, but where on the 'net can I get this stuff? One reason that I've used SuSE since 1998 is that SuSE always had everything I needed on the set of disks, now the DVD. But just yesterday I got my DSL 2000 up and running, so I need to learn how and where to get this stuff. Up to now not being able to see wmv files didn't matter because I could not afford to d/l them. BTW, I got FreeNet DSL2000 and its really neet. Thanks All!

It's illegal for SuSE to ship the codecs, that's why you have to install them off the net rather than off your DVD. If you just want support for .wmv, you can just get the w32codecs for xine or gstreamer. If you want to play dvd's get libdvdcss which should bring the w32codecs along with it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGkR6ng39m4F98CH4RAob4AJ9DKf7O00pkxFjEHJhSxLvnyJ2G2ACfQStH R7o/hwcvvUM7gof8GyO+C9Q= =v9Uz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

And he asked where to get them. Not what SUSE doesn't provide. Jim, they can be gotten at packman.links2linux.de. Look in multimedia. Libdvdcss is a bit harder, but google is your friend.

libdvdcss2 isn't really hard, you can find them at videolan.org [0] or a direct link where you can find the RPMs [1] [0] http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html [1] http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.9/rpm/libdvdcss2-1.2.9-1.i386...

Why not just install the libdvdcss stuff via yast - add the vlc repo as described in the opensuse.org wiki, and you're good to go. Let the system work for you! Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There is good info on the openSuSE web site about this and other "extra" stuff.
