SDB:Installing codecs from Packman repositories
Situation
You need to play online or offline multimedia content but the content does not want to play or shows errors. Usually this is a sign of missing codecs: install these packages from Packman to play most music and video:
- ffmpeg
- gstreamer-plugins-good
- gstreamer-plugins-bad
- gstreamer-plugins-libav
- gstreamer-plugins-ugly
- libavcodec-full
- vlc-codecs
You can get them using Zypper, opi or YaST.
Solution
Zypper
If you have not already done so, use the following commands to add all of the third-party Packman repository (Packman Essentials is included), according to your installed openSUSE version:
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo -cfp 90 'https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/' packman
Leap:
sudo zypper addrepo -cfp 90 'https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_$releasever/' packman
Then, install the desired codecs by first refreshing your local repository database and allowing vendor change for the required packages (consider reading Vendor change):
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper dist-upgrade --from packman --allow-vendor-change
sudo zypper install --from packman ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-{good,bad,ugly,libav} libavcodec-full vlc-codecs
Omit vlc-codecs
if you don't plan on using the VideoLAN Client (VLC).
OBS Package Installer
opi (Open Build Service Package Installer) works on both Leap and Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper install opi
opi codecs
YaST
1. Open YaST, then click Software Repositories.
2. Click Add (in the bottom left), then select Community Repositories.
3. Select Packman Repository, then click OK.
4. Go to the YaST Control Center and click Software Management.
5. View > Repositories > Packman Repository.
6. Click "Switch system packages" to packages from Packman repository.
7. Click Accept and Continue, after the codecs will get installed, You should be able to play Your multimedia files without any issues.
