Add Packman repository on openSUSE 13.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Open a terminal and type the following code\uff1a<code>sudo zypper addrepo -f http:\/\/mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn\/packman\/suse\/openSUSE_13.1\/ packman<\/code>.The &#8216;packman&#8217; is the name I gave this repository.After pressing Enter, you will be prompted to enter a password, which is the login password you set when you installed the system, and the screen will not display content when you enter it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><em>2<\/em>. Update the repositories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Type the following command:<code>sudo zypper refresh<\/code>.This command refreshes the repository and lets the system recognize the packages inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><em>3<\/em>. Install all necessary multimedia codecs and libraries from Packman repository.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Enter the following command in the terminal\uff1a<code>sudo zypper install libxine2-codecs ffmpeg lame gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-orig-addon gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good-extra gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly-orig-addon gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ffmpeg libdvdcss2 flash-player dvdauthor07 gstreamer-plugins-base gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-bad-orig-addon gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-ugly-orig-addon gstreamer-plugins-good-extra gstreamer-0_10-plugins-fluendo_mpegdemux gstreamer-0_10-plugins-fluendo_mpegmux vlc  h264enc x264 gstreamer-plugins-libav vlc-codecs<\/code>.Now you can play the video files with the Vlc player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>However I strongly recommend you to install another multimedia player: Kodi.With the <code>sudo zypper in kodi<\/code> command, we can install kodi into the system.It&#8217;s worth mentioning that kodi is also from the packmam repository.<\/p>\n\n]]><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenSUSE 13.1 is &#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[250],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-coding-notes","wpcat-250-id"],"views":71,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rogen.us\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rogen.us\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rogen.us\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rogen.us\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rogen.us\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/rogen.us\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1820\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rogen.us\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rogen.us\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rogen.us\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
