i'm new to opensuse and i'm liking it so far. I was trying to figure out how to play avi,mp4's and dvd's. I have accomplished to get an avi working in totem but not in banshee or mplayer or kaffeine. I can't seem to get the mp4 player playing or a dvd. All media players come up with an error, whether for a missing codec or no video out.
View 8 RepliesWhenever I try to install vlc I get a ton of errors shown below. I can't seem to figure out how to fix this, but vlc will not play my media files after installing. Any ideas?

I need to play or preferably convert (i.e. to MP3) old SNG files, which contain voice records. From what I could find, it's basically a MIDI created by synthetiser. I think it was recorded by some ancient VLC player. I failed so far to play it on anything I could download.

When I click yes, it asks me for additional repositories.

I can't play DVDs unless they've been burned by myself or a friend. I had no problems until around the beginning of April. I was running 11.2 on both my laptop and desktop. I think an update changed something. This was before 11.2 was officially retired a week or so later. I wanted to upgrade to 11.4 anyway, so I began with my laptop. During installation I wiped everything from my hard disk by creating new partitions and formatting them. After installation I installed the multimedia packages using one-click (opensuse-guide.org, not opensuse-community.org, although I did read what they said). I know one-click is not ideal, but I was curious. The result was that I still couldn't play DVDs.
I did a fresh installation, just to be on the safe side. This time I installed the packages according to Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide by caf4926. But I still couldn't play DVDs, so I went through the thread Check your multimedia problem in ten steps. Then I ran mmcheck (v2.35). I tried a few times, experimented, and in the end did another fresh install.
In the meantime, on my desktop, which still has 11.2 on it, I found the file which had been changed and changed it back, so I could play DVDs on it again. It was in /etc/udev/rules.d/, 70-persistent-cd.rules. This does not appear to be the problem in 11.4 on my laptop.
I have again installed the packages according to the multimedia installation guide, and done the ten-step check and run mmcheck and these are the results as they stand:
I couldn't find a package called mplayerplug-in. I used zypper to look for it.
I tried installing the totem packages in a previous installation, but they didn't make a difference, so I left them out this time.
I deinstalled my jdk, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference, except that I get an error notification everytime I want to use LibreOffice. And I need it, so I'm putting it back soon.
So, these are my packages:
And this is what happens when I try to play a DVD using Kaffeine (since I don't an error message except from Kaffeine, and I've forgotten where my logs are):
And then comes Read error from: Error reading from DVD over the GUI.
And nothing else happens... I get no feedback from smplayer whatsoever. It opens, trys to read the DVD, and sits there. Even on the console.
I installed suse about two weeks ago after ubuntu and everything works quite well except for the trouble I have when I try to play any DVD. First of all I am sure my dvdrom is working well so that is no the problem. I followed the instructions I found in the forums- and I installed all the packages that were suggested-libdvdcss etc. I tried vlc, kaffeine, mplayer, smplayer and realplayer however nothing seems to work. I tried different a couple of different dvds which work on other computers but I cant get them to work on mine. However one thing is interesting. On one of the dvds I am capable of playing like an opening bit with the name of the company which produced the dvd and all that. However, no other part of the dvd will play only that bit. Every player gives me a message which says I dont have the permission to play the DVD. It shouldnt be a region problem as well because my computer is a UK bought lenovo and all the dvds are from the uk.

I'm trying to play a HD rip of a film from dvd. It's in mkv format but it doesn't seem to play properly in oS. I've tried using SMplayer and Kaffeine but neither work well. In SMplayer the picture freezes after about 35s but the sound continues. With Kaffein the picture works but I loose the sound after about 15s. In win xp it plays fine.
CPU usage in oS is around 45-50% so it's not maxing out my cpu.
I can't get my media to play. I click on the song I want and it just hangs there. When I go to configure amarok and hit test sound it plays just fine. I've installed the packman repo and followed other instructions on getting media to work but I just get nothing.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI can't play any of my avi, mp4 or even ogv files.I get audio but no video.This sort of points to a missing codec, but when I go into YaST I already appear to have the necessary ones (doesn't openSuse come with most out of the box anyway?).The file I am currently most interested in is (I believe) an Xvid.I already had libxvid4 but added xvidcore when it didn't work but this didn't help.I have packman in the repos (does it come by default in 11.3?)I installed vlc-qt to see if I could play it with VLC instead of Kaffeine but that didn't help either.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble playing some mp3's through Amarok, all other media players are fine with the mp3's in question. Tested on VLC and Audacious. Most other mp3's play through Amarok though. Why this problem. I'm using the gstreamer backend. I tried changing it to xine but then nothing would play. I really like Amarok and want to use it as my main player, so this issue is a little irritating.

Example RMVB file output $ gst-launch-0.10 -vv filesrc location="~/putz.rmvb" ! ffdemux_rm ! ffdec_rv40 ! x264enc ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink
and no more freezes or choppy video! Graphics card is NVidia 8500 GT, NVIDIA Driver Version: 260.19.06 with Intel Core i7 + 4GB RAM now I'm getting the 0.11 gst GIT and will see if it makes any difference.[URL]...
I just installed 11.4 and its working like a dream, only I cant seem to play .avi files. does anyone know a solution for this?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI run opensuse 11.1 64 bit with KDE, and I have never been able to get the CD player working. Either it does not load, or once in awhile it also shows a message saying something like "cd player not configured", - which is odd because Suse is able to use it for installing additional programs and such from the Suse Dvd. I am also quite new in this, my first Opensuse distribution is the current.
View 9 Replies View RelatedRecently installed 11.2x64 with KDE4.
Everything is working great (excellent release!) with the exception of sound.
The sound works well when only one app needs it, but sound only works for one app. If another program is open, it has no sound.
Some examples: - If I am listening to an .mp3 with VLC, I don't get sound in a movie in SMplayer.
- If I have a tab open in firefox with a flash movie (like .....), any other firefox tab will have no sound.
The worst part is that if I have virtualbox open, no other applications have any sound as long as it is open.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running OpenSUSE 11.2. My sound has an issue, it must be played through PulseAudio. Phonon or whatever the default is kept dropping the ball, so I made PulseAudio the default sound server by doing:
setup-pulseaudio --enable So now, I get something as opposed to nothing. But Amarok still wasn't playing my songs, even after telling it to prefer PulseAudio for all outputs under Settings>Configure Amarok>Playback>Configure. I hit "Test" and the sound played. But it wouldn't play any songs from my music library. So I navigated there in Dolphin, found a song, right-clicked, and decided to Open With every audio program associated with it. Banshee and Mplayer worked. Kaffiene, Totem, and Amarok did not (though I could see that Amarok at least queued it up). What gives?
I upgraded to KDE 4.4.3 this morning, but after that Amarok (with Xine backend) does not play music any more - track is progressed, but only silence comes out of the speakers. I tried Gnome music players too, but none of them plays anything.
I installed GStreamer with different kinds of plugins and switched Phono backend to gstreamer. When I start Amarok now, it says I have no MP3 support, so it has to be installed. It does it, restarts itself and it can play audio again. After restarting, having no MP3 support is reported again.
