[betep]

Hallo together,

I get this error:

Kein passendes Decodermodul:
VLC unterstützt das Audio- oder Videoformat "mp4v" nicht. Leider können Sie daran nichts ändern.

or this:
Kein passendes Decodermodul:
VLC unterstützt das Audio- oder Videoformat "h264" nicht. Leider können Sie daran nichts ändern.

Any ideas how i can fix it?
Thanks for Help in advance

Update from which version to which new version ?

Missing VLC avcodec plugin. Either you messed package installation, or your packages are broken.

I to.. have a similar problem since installing OpenSUSE12.2. (KDE4.8.5)
When it is launch. I drop a mp4 or any video file format onto VLC on the desktop. It returns error:

main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `mpgv'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `mpga'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

When launch from the CLI. It returns error again for any type of video file:

VLC media player 2.0.3 Twoflower (revision 2.0.2-93-g77aa89e)
[0xb4a568] main interface error: no suitable interface module

It use to work Ok when I was using 12.2 RC1

I have no problems using Kaffeine to view my files

Hi, I am unable to play an MJPG using VLC 2.0.3
on openSUSE 12.2 64bit with LXDE/openbox.
The "-vv" output from vlc shows a "corrupt module:
/usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/codec/libavcodec_plugin.so":

Code: Select all

Here are the versions of VLC and libavcodec54 installed:

Code: Select all

rprice@maria:~> rpm -qa | grep vlc vlc-gnome-2.0.3-1.28.x86_64 libvlc5-2.0.3-1.28.x86_64 libvlccore5-2.0.3-1.28.x86_64 vlc-2.0.3-1.28.x86_64 vlc-noX-2.0.3-1.28.x86_64 vlc-qt-2.0.3-1.28.x86_64 rprice@maria:~> rpm -qa | grep libavcodec libavcodec54-1.0-1.1.x86_64

Is version 1.0-1.1 of libavcodec compatible with vlc 2.0.3?

Is version 1.0-1.1 of libavcodec compatible with vlc 2.0.3?

A closer examination of the package dependencies using the YaST facility
of "re-installing without forcing" uncovers the messages

Code: Select all

vlc-2.0.3-1.28.x86_64 requires libvlccore.so.5()(64bit), but this requirement cannot be provided vlc-noX-2.0.3-1.28.x86_64 requires libvlc5 = 2.0.3-1.28, but this requirement cannot be provided

These message did not appear during the VLC installation.

Note that libvlccore5-2.0.3 and libvlc5-2.0.3-1.28 are already installed,
so why the error messages?

I removed packages libvlc5, libvlccore5, vlc, vlc-gnome, vlc-noX and vlc-qt,
which is a pity because I like VLC. Kaffeine and xine are not operational:
they complain about a missing codec, but totem is able to play the MJPG.

I'm also getting this problem, very similar error messages as RogerPrice:

Code: Select all

warning: cannot load module `/usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/codec/libavcodec_plugin.so' (/usr/lib64/libavcodec.so.54: symbol av_image_get_buffer_size, version LIBAVUTIL_51 not defined in file libavutil.so.51 with link time reference) error: corrupt module: /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/libavcodec_plugin.so error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `h264'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

but using VLC 2.0.5 openSUSE 12.2 64-bit KDE from http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/12.2 repository.

[devprof]

Solved! I figured out the error causing my problem. YaST2 Software Management did not correctly choose the version of libavutil51 required by VLC 2.0.5. For whatever reason, it was selecting the incorrect:

Code: Select all

0.11.1-3.1.2-x86_64 from openSUSE-12.2-Oss

instead of the correct:

Code: Select all

1.0.1-1.1-x86_64 from VLC

This could explain the presence of the warning below:

Code: Select all

warning: cannot load module `/usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/codec/libavcodec_plugin.so' (/usr/lib64/libavcodec.so.54: symbol av_image_get_buffer_size, version LIBAVUTIL_51 not defined in file libavutil.so.51 with link time reference)

Perhaps unnecessarily, I changed the repository's Priority to 98 instead of the default 99 so that future updates from VLC repo will take precedence over the standard OSS repo.

Code: Select all

zypper lr | # | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh | Priority | Type | URI | Service | |---+----------+-------------------+---------+---------+----------+--------+------------------------------------------------+---------| ... | 2 | VLC | VLC | Yes | Yes | 98 | rpm-md | http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/12.2 | | ... | 9 | repo-oss | openSUSE-12.2-Oss | Yes | Yes | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.2 | | ...

Manually selecting the libavutil51-1.0.1-1.1-x86_64 version in YaST2 Software Management fixed my problem. I hope this helps others.

Well...
All i wanted to add to this discussion is this link:
http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_formats/12.2

I've instaled this package of codecs, and wanted to say one thing:
DO NOT TOUCH THAT!

Now i can't play anything using VLC, so it'll be long night to repair because of this error:

Code: Select all

VLC media player 2.0.6 Twoflower (revision 2.0.6-0-gbe9623c) [0x26077e8] main interface error: no suitable interface module [0x25cb0a8] main libvlc error: interface "globalhotkeys,none" initialization failed [0x25cb0a8] main libvlc: Run vlc with default interface. Run 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. [0x7f4dcc000a28] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `mp4v'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

Right now i truly don't know what to do, but will search it to find solution.

/Regards

p.s. what annoys me the most:
Why, on official site, You can find codecs that will broke possibility of watching anything in the system?

It's a wiki... As with every wiki, anyone can write crap.

There is a lot of advice in the openSUSE forums against installing VLC from videolan repositories as opposed to the packman repositories.

https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get ... ost2533652

I'm not certain why this is the case. I've been using VLC fairly exclusively -- without packman -- on openSUSE 11.3, 11.4, 12.2, and 12.3 for playing various video formats (flv, mp4, wmv, mov) and audio formats (ogg, mp3, m4a) successfully. Granted, I only do new installs, never dist-upgrades. The only problem I've encountered with VLC was the issue that I posted previously on this thread, thankfully started by betep.

P.S.[off-topic]:I deny the existence of 12.1 since that was a disaster for me for many reasons. Similar to my experience with 11.0. I have since vowed to never install every first major-release of that distribution.

[Grizzbir]

Yes, there is lot of advice, and thanks for link.
I used this link:
http://forums.opensuse.org/content/127- ... -12-2.html

Did all of list, than remove vlc completely

Code: Select all

zypper remove vlc*

Deleting all of the folders with vlc in /home.
Than installation of codecs from link.
Reboot.
Install vlc with "vlc-codecs" package.

Now everything works nice and smooth.
Kaffeine, SMPlayer, VLC, Xine player.

So YES, the forums.opensuse.org DID the Trick! THX!
