The application called vlc will play anything you can throw at it.
I recently found it won't, but smplayer will.
Which of these (and those on other pages) it didn't play?
All. It's a mommy knows better than admin program that refuses to run unless mommy's inane prerequisites are all fulfilled or it's recompiled without mommy's reqs. I don't install it any more since that discovery. Smplayer has no such requirements.
You mean what is written on that site- Features *Simple*, Powerful and Fast Plays *everything*, Files, Discs (DVD, CD, VCD), Devices and Streams Plays most codecs with *no codec packs* needed is false advertising? :-) Aaaah......you aren't trying to run the vlc which is found in the 'normal' oS repos? If so then you need to install vlc directly from videolan itself using the 1-click install here- http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-suse.html BC -- "Facts are stupid things."
