Situation

A Windows (or Samba) share has been made available on the network.  On your SLED system you can browse to the share or use the mount command to access the share but need to have permanent access to this share every time the SLED system is booted.

openSuSE 10.3 - box picture.. Lars HilseWhen starting out with SuSE Linux one may end up being a tad disappointed. Especially when it comes to the point where you want to play your first MP3 file and find out that you’re accused of wanting to access a restricted format.

This is because common file extensions used by DVD, MP3 etc. are under copyright. But like always, there is a work around to this issue….

The packs will enable you to have:

  • Flash
  • Java
  • Latest Amarok (with MP3 Support) for KDE, or Helix-Banshee for GNOME users
  • Encrypted DVD (libdvdcss)
  • Extra xine Codecs, for MPEG-4 etc. (libxine1)
  • K3b with MP3 Support (k3b-codecs)
  • Win 32 Codecs (w32codec-all)

..as well as the option of installing (select Advanced mode at the screen) many more applications, including Opera, KMPlayer, Kplayer, MPlayer, Azureus, VLC, Codeine, and more.

Note: Different copyright and patent laws apply differently depending on what country you are in; if you are unsure about a particular restriction or patent, you might consider applying for legal advice. This site does not offer legal advice. For more information about why some formats/codecs are restricted and why they don’t ship out-of-the-box on openSUSE, read Restricted Formats.

All you have to do is download

Multimedia Codecs for Restricted Content for K-Desktop-Environment
that will guide you through the rest of the setup - practically it takes care of the installation of its self for my experience -

Multimedia Codecs for Restricted Content for GNOME
and this YMP file if you are using GNOME
