  sudo zypper ar http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/<openSUSEversion> VLC sudo zypper mr -r VLC sudo zypper in vlc

  Install VLC using YaST
  openSUSE does not come with VLC repository and so we need to add the repo information in the repository file. To add a repository go YaST2 -> Software -> Installation Sources and then add the following lines in it
  Type: HTTP / Servername: download.videolan.org /
  Directory: /pub/videolan/vlc/SuSE/<SUSE Version>
  Replace <SUSE Version> with 11.1 (or) 11.2 (or) 11.3 (or) 11.4 (or) 12.1
  Finally confirm the addition and the repository is signed with a GPG key.  Accept t key and YaST will warn you in case there is something suspect with the repository.  Accept everything by clicking Finish.
  Now install VLC Player
  
• Go to Software Management and type VLC in the searchbox
• Select VLC and click Accept to install it with all its dependencies.

If you want VLC’s Mozilla Plugin, you have to select the vlc-mozillaplugin manually. It does not get installed by default
Thats all !!
