Play all video file formats in SUSE 10.1

[amr25]

All video players in SUSE 10.1 depend mainly on Xine library. but due to legal constrains SUSE 10.1 uses very limeted feautures of Xine library which causes all vedio players not be able to play most video file formats
to overcome this problem you need to do the following
1- install the latest Xine library : open this link www.xinehq.de/index.php/releases and download the latest Xine Lib
2- login as root
3- unpack the tarball, use: tar xfvz tarballname.tar.gz
4- cd to the extracted folder and
./configure
make install
5- to get the latest codecs for all video file formats you need to install the Binary Codec Packages from MPlayer site : open this link www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html
6- unpack the tarball use: tar -xvf essential-20061022.tar.bz2
7- cd to the extracted folder and: chmod 755 ./*
8- copy all the folder contents to the folder that Xine uses to get codecs use: cp ./* /usr/lib/win32/
that is all

An easier way would be to setup the packman repos and install libxine and win32 codecs using YAST or SMART.
