Can you try the package from the VLC Repository? http://download.videolan.org/pub/SuSE/11.1 (also available for 10.3, 11.0 and 11.2, just replace the number accordingly).
Yes, I just downloaded and installed the package from the appropriate VLC repo. Zypper now tells me: Information for package vlc: Repository: @System Name: vlc Version: 1.0.2-2.3 Arch: i686 Vendor: VideoLAN Project (http://www.videolan.org) Installed: Yes Status: up-to-date Installed Size: 1.3 M Summary: VLC - Video Lan Client And this version works as expected!
It would not be the first time that the official repo works and PM does not.
In the past, I know there were incompatibilities between the VLC repo and Packman, which caused codec confusion, if memory serves. Has this been addressed now, to your knowledge? For openSuSE 10.3 at least, the advice was usually to disable the VLC repo after pulling in libdvdcss to avoid issues. Thanks for the tip!
