I'm after some clarification re mixing VLC and Packman repos. I recently did a clean install of 12.3 x64 and then did the following (among some other things) in this order
1. Installed VLC from the One-click install here VideoLAN - VLC media player for openSUSE
This added the VLC repo to my list
2. Installed banshee 2.6.0 from here software.opensuse.org:
3. Ran the KDE Multimedia One-click from the opensuse multimedia forum to install all the other multimedia codecs, etc
This added the Packman repo to my list
Everything is working fine - VLC, banshee, multimedia
My repos are as follows
Now there are comments made in other threads that you shouldn't have both Packman and VLC repos enabled and that you should use VLC from the Packman repo, BUT VLC in the Packman repo has caused problems as reported recently.
Do I really need to disable/delete the VLC repo and upgrade VLC from Packman to avoid potential problems? With everything working fine, I don't want to mess with things unless it's necessary - input from opensuse Multimedia/repo experts welcome.
