MP3 codecs and Flash Player
 

Hiya, newbie here.

I've looked all over for mp3 codecs but can't seem to find any? I'm using suse 11.2 .... any reccomendations?

Also I downloaded flash player and it said I'd installed it. It didn't work. I tried reinstalling it and it flew a tantrum saying it was already installed. Yet I still can't play flash material in firefox???

Cheers,

Dave

When I was using OpenSuse, I always used the site's automatic install:

http://software.opensuse.org/search

I searched for mp3 and flash, and they both yielded packages that on the right side had the "1-Click Install" option. I'd go with that.

if you are using xmms try installing it and look for the libmp3.so, otherwise try looking in rpmfind.net by the libmp3.so and try installing in /usr/lib/ or /usr/local/lib.

You may need to enable nonfree and/or multimedia repositories (lists of packages) to give you these choices. From a quick web search I got this site, which may be helpful to you: http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_Formats. For mp3 players, if using gnome, then install rhythmbox. If using kde, then install amarok.

You need the plugin. So, search Yast (or whatever package manager/program installer that SuSE uses) for flash and/or mozilla plugins. In Debian, it's flashplugin-nonfree (or flashplayer-mozilla also works). It's likely something similar in SuSE. Just do a search through your package options.

if you are using suse under 32 bits try using the tar.gz pack and unzip to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
if you are under 64 bits try http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html and unzip to
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins
