I have mplayer installed & YAST says it's from packman. On a short wmv clip
I tried,I get audio with mplayer but no video The error box says no -vo
(video output?). The codecs came from packman & installed where thy're
supposed to be -- all 126 files.

Just a quick update. Totem says it doesn't handle WM 9 files, but kaffein
plays a stream. But, again, with audio, but no video. -- no error
messages, though.

And how do we know wether this is a local or a general problem if we
can't verify it?

I just encountered a prob with downloading to "<home>/My Downloads" which
seems to be a default dest dir for several progs.

Yast looked like it succeeded in LT 1/2 second without obvious errors, while
not actually doing anything.

#$@^$&^#%. My fu*&^%$@g mouse has frozen again.

As I was about to "say", the problem came from the space char in the "My
Downloads" dir name. Preceding the space with a backslash did not seem to
help, so I made a dir at the same level called "Downloads" & put a copy of
the win32 codec rpm in there.

After changing the installation source to dir://..../Downloads, Yast finally
installed the package.

Phew.

Yes, it is a bad idea to have spaces in directory names, or in
filenames. Gives a lot of problems.
BTW, I don't know any Linux program that defaults to this.
