amarok refuses to play mp3's in suse

alex17 · 03-30-2006, 09:57 AM

i have a very annoying problem... i can't listen to mp3's in any program in suse. also, i can't play any movies (in avi, mpeg, mpg format).

what can i do? i tried reinstalling, i tried changing the engine in amarok, but it' s useless. then, i tried xmms and xine, but they also failed. realplayer can play mp3's, but it's also got a few bugs (can't create a playlist, doesn't play some *.rm movies), and amarok just feels and looks better.

if anyone has any ideeas, please help!

thanks!

SuSE's support for certain media formats has been crippled since version 9.1 or possibly earlier. It's down to a legal issue with certain codecs
