Playing WMV Files - What Do I Need ?
Vaguely literate, but a Linux newbie running SuSE 9.1 Pro :)
I know the SuSE dist is deliberately crippled for Windows Movie files, but haven't so far been able to figure out what I need to do to get them to work. Using Kaffeine or any player based on Xine, I get: Xine Error: No Demux PlugIn Any help or pointers to the right direction to take would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Pete |
You would need to get the win32 codecs. I'm using SuSE 9.3 and there is a Multimedia pack1-2-3-4 that you can download, which I believe the win32 codecs are in there. It's not supported by Novell due to legal reasons.

OK, thanks for the help.
I downloaded the MS 'essentials' codec pack and installed it where instructed, but it made no difference. I'll have to some more hunting, I guess :) Thanks again. Pete |
Many multimedia-related packages are available on http://packman.links2linux.org/ , including the win32 codecs for SUSE 9.1. To make the installation even easier, you can add the packman server to your YaST sources. Have a look at the sticky thread about YaST update sources.
