[wwww]

I installed VLC with vlc-codecs but there is no video output for proprietary codecs.

Hello

One week after OpenSUSE 13.1 released i installed it with default multimedia packages,after that i installed VLC from official default repositories and noticed must add vlc repository and update VLC from that which contain install vlc-codecs and few more packages related to VLC to can watch proprietary video codecs,i did this works and VLC play proprietary codecs well done but last week i formatted OpenSUSE partition and reinstalled it but this time i selected some packages to be don't install like Kaffeine, Amarok , Libreoffice and one package related to xine after installing OpenSUSE i installed VLC exactly like previous time steps but this time when i play proprietary codecs i received error related to not installed needed codecs like:

Code: Select all

No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "h264". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

and VLC doesn't play proprietary video codec,i haven't video output but audio decoding haven't problem.

Where is the problem?!

Did VLC team change vlc repository packages?!

excuse me if i have grammatical mistakes ,please answer to this post,thankyou

I'm not too familiar with OpenSUSE, but you probably need something like libavcodec-extra.

It looks like your system's libav installation is borked. Please ask your OpenSUSE libav/vlc packagers.

Problem solved.

I uninstalled compelety VLC and after restart i installed it the first from VLC repository for OpenSUSE and there is no problem now.

It looks like your system's libav installation is borked.

In your opinion why this event happened?!

[edwardw]

Probably version/ABI mismatch between VLC and libav or you are mixing incompatible binaries.
