Cant get .wmv files to work


I am using SuSe9.3 with KDE 3.4

I have the codecs (rpm's) that used to work on the SuSe 9.1

but on the 9.3, I cant install them as it asks for a library named libFlac

I installed the apt and tried to search for this library but in vain

I dont know what to do, I am really depressed coz I cant get any video to work as they are all .wmv

here are my sources in the sources.list:

rpm ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-i586 base
rpm ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-i586 secutiry
rpm ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-i586 security-prpm
rpm ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-i586 updates
rpm ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-i586 updates-prpm

waiting for any help

Thx in advance

First i'm not using SuSe, i use / MPlayer, you should read the documentation because it's not easy to install, BTW don't forget to download and the codecs, it won't work otherwise.
Cheers.

the best way to install the needed codecs is to download the codecs archive from the official Mplayer site, unpack the archive to /usr/lib/win32 (you need to be root) and then install mplayer for suse from this site which contains mplayer rpms for all suse versions. this is how i made it work for me
