I got the same a few weeks ago, it's starting to get frustrating.

IIRC, I had to install VLC from a specific repo as the official one didn't have all the codecs, could that be the reason of the issue?

Edit: someone else having the issue on the OpenSUSE forums:

How about using some isolation? nix-env, distrobox, or flathub (official builds only?). I have listed them in my own (personal) order of preference.

Thank you for your suggestion, I ended up doing that in the end. Removed VLC from the repo, used the Flatpak. Seems to works fine now!

Use MPV, I can recommend Celluloid

MPV could be an option. What is Celluloid?

boredsquirrel ,

A GUI in GTK3 I think. Very well packaged as Flatpak too, Wayland native, portal support, uses Pipewire

Disto packages had issues with unofficial repos like forever.

Indeed, but this is unfortunate to not have official repos supporting AMD GPUs (Mesa) and H265

Found this: https://old.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/1dgf9xy/packman_repo_and_vlc_error_with_zypper_dup/

Consensus is to wait a few days for the packman repos to catch up.

I had a look at zypper dup, I basically can either switch to packman.links2linux.de, or switch to OpenSUSE, for each of the conflits.

Which one is better?

Some discussion on Reddit, doesn't seem to have any specific consensus: https://old.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/10um85r/do_i_really_need_packman_will_it_increases_the/
