is it still advisable to use packman packages for vlc or will packages from OSS suffice?
Well, it highly depends on what you want to play back... ;-)
MP3 support is part of the distribution nowadays, but there still are non-free codecs that cannot be supported by openSUSE's vlc (or other) packages, e.g. MP4 or AAC. For this, you do still need vlc from Packman or VideoLAN (the package vlc- codecs in particular).
Though I am oversimplifying, VLC is just a frontend for ffmpeg (and/or gstreamer, but that's just looks like a framework too). So what you need from PM is the ffmpeg libraries, not VLC. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
