Hello,

I use the fluendo codec bundle on Tumbleweed, it works fine on that site with firefox, they use jw player.
I fail to get it.
By Googling for "fluendo codec opensuse" I found http://software.opensuse.org/codecs and clicking there on the "Fluendo Webshop" link https://shop.fluendo.com/?referrer=opensuse leads to a "403 Forbidden".
Same end-user experience via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluendo there at the bottom the "Fluendo Shop: End User Products" link https://www.fluendo.com/shop/category/end-user-products/ also leads to a "403 Forbidden".
What gstreamer codecs do you have installed?
I cannot answer that question because I don't know hwo to find out what files or software packages are "gstreamer codecs".
What I had installed regarding 'gstreamer' was: # rpm -qa | grep -i gstreamer gstreamer-1.4.5-2.4.x86_64 gstreamer-fluendo-mp3-21-1.1.x86_64 libgstreamer-1_0-0-1.4.5-2.4.x86_64 PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-1.0.6-1.5.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-base-1.4.5-1.4.x86_64
# zypper search -d gstreamer | grep -i codec and # zypper search -d codec | grep -i gstreamer find something that I do not have installed but I have no idea what I would need.
I am a total newbie in this area (see my other mail). I used to use Adobe Flash Player because this is what one gets from openSUSE out of the box.
This was my first attempt in this area. Somehow I managed to view "MP4" videos. But I feel unhappy with that kind of software because I fail to get certainity whether or not that software is legally o.k.
Therefore I stoppend this experiment and deleted the whole virtual machine. I am now again using only software that is provided by openSUSE.
Here my user experience with only software from openSUSE: Install a plain X-only Tumbleweed system (no desktop). A few minutes later log in as root and do: # zypper search firefox notice that the package name is "MozillaFirefox" # zypper install MozillaFirefox # zypper search flash notice that the package name is "flash-player" # zypper install flash-player agree with its license (needs explicit typing "yes", cf. what Tomas Chvatal wrote) Launch Firefox, go to http://www.spiegel.de/ everything there "just works".
I do not have any personal preference what is better. With Adobe Flash Player or without it.
Obviously Adobe Flash Player is bad software (proprietary and with an endless sequence of security issues) but its legal state is clear and it is redistributable and one can "just view videos" in the browser.
On the other hand there are various kind of also bad software because their legal state is not clear (at least not clear for unexperienced users).
I only liked to tell about my personal user experience and that is certainly not a representative example for unexperienced end user experience.

Hi They moved to.... http://www.oneplaydirect.com/oneplay/oneplay-codec-pack/ You use the gst-inspect-1.0 to see all the information, then per plugin.
