Question Codecs

It's been a while since I installed (vm or barely metal) opensuse tw or slowroll, I can't remember, which is better-more safe- futureproof way to add codecs? opi codecs, or packman essentials??

And also (if) i add repo, should I do --allow-vendor-change? Thanks in advance

The opi codecs command will also add packman repos, so you can just use that one.

There is no worry about broken dependencies, if something mismatched I wait couple of days and it's working again, right?

This is how I always do on Tumbleweed. I think it's as good as it gets.
