Openh264 on Tumbleweed

Kent - January 15, 2024

If there are problems with loading a shared library with name libopenh264.so.7 when doing work with ffmpeg, there are two possibilies.

1. Outdated version of ffmpeg.
2. libopenh264.so.7 is not installed.

[libopenh264 @ 0x55925d5bf780] libopenh264.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory: libopenh264.so.7 is missing, openh264 support will be disabled

[mpegts @ 0x55925d59a9c0] Packet corrupt (stream = 0, dts = 506246400).

Consider increasing the value for the 'analyzeduration' (0) and 'probesize' (5000000) options

The fix is simple, but it should not be necessary. Add h264 repo, and install the library.
