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?
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
