Arista Transcoder doesn't work in openSUSE 12.1. It always throws an error. I tried to install plugins from the openSUSE repo but it also didn't work. The error stated that there is a missing elements and that's why I cannot add the conversion. How will I be able to resolve this?
Cannot add conversion to queue because of missing elements!
OK

Installing Arista Transcoder in openSUSE is very easy and can be done by just running a simple command. But since Arista Transcoder is already installed on your computer we can skip this part. While installing Arista Transcoder in openSUSE is easy, the tricky part is when you try converting a movie or a video in Arista Transcoder it will usually throw you back an error such as the one below. See image.
When this error hits you, it can be fixed by installing certain proprietary or restricted codecs on your computer. For users running KDE, you need to run this command to fix it:
-
sudo zypper in libdvdcss2 vlc libxine1-codecs k3b-codecs ffmpeg lame gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly-orig-addon w32codec-all MPlayer smplayer gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good libxine1 libdvdplay0 libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 xine-ui libmad0 ffmpeg sox libxvidcore4 xvidcore libavcodec52 libavdevice52 libvlccore4 libvlc5 lsb pullin-flash-player flash-player gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mp3 gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mpegdemux gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mpegmux gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good-extra k3b libquicktime0 gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-orig-addon gecko-mediaplayer
For users running Gnome, XFCE, or LXDE, this command needs to be executed:
-
sudo zypper in libdvdcss2 vlc libxine1-codecs ffmpeg lame gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly-orig-addon totem-browser-plugin w32codec-all MPlayer smplayer gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good libxine1 libdvdplay0 libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 xine-ui libmad0 ffmpeg sox libxvidcore4 xvidcore libavcodec52 libavdevice52 libvlccore4 libvlc5 totem totem-plugin-upnp totem-plugins nautilus-totem lsb pullin-flash-player flash-player gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mp3 gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mpegdemux gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mpegmux gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good-extra libquicktime0 gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-orig-addon
Once the codecs are installed, you can now begin converting your movies for your Smartphones and tablets. See image.
