It appears I have some of the packages installed (like kaffeine) from the OSS repo already. It does not apppear that with the new software installer I have the ability to choose software by repo.
In other words, I cannot easily choose to install kaffeine from packman vs. OSS.
Am I missing something? Do I need to find all installed OSS multimedia packages, uninstall them, then install their packman equivalents?
No need - if you install libxine1, it only comes from packman. That's the non-crippled back end that will allow xine & kaffeine to play all the usual media types. Also, if you look closely at the packages in yast software management, it will tell you if it's the suse build or the packman or guru build - amarok will have a suse and a guru build. OTOH mplayer IIRC is only from packman and not suse.

Yes, but, for example, I have kaffeine installed. It is from the OSS repo. I need the one from packman. I can't easily (that I can see) select the kaffeine version from packman to install with Software Management.
If both repos are enabled, whatever is installed shows up in both Available and Installed columns (in this case the OSS version). I can't "replace" it with the packman version.
The older Software Manager allowed you to see packages by repo. This one appartently does not.
OK, so both XMMS and Amarok will play mp3 files on this machine. However, audacious and Banshee (looks to be plain and not helix-banshee) will not.
These are (of course) the 2 players I would like to get working.
Any ideas?
OK, so uninstalling/reinstalling both audacious and helix-banshee got things working. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
