Xine/Kaffeine

joewee · 12-27-2006, 09:01 PM

Everytime I open Kaffeine player I get this crashing sound along with an malformed url error. I have searched everywhere I know of to fix this to no avail. The player otherwise works great for all files and streams. I would also like to change that crashing sound when streams end. It going to give me a corinary cause its scaring the shit out of me! I am sure this is an easy fix, I have learned so much about *nix in the last year yet I am still a noob! All assistance apprieciated!

My Kaffeine does the same thing, I'm running Mandriva 2007. With the KDE desktop, go to, System/Configuration/KDE/Appearance and Themes/System Notifications. Go through the list of notifications and note the audio file used. You can chose none or another sound if you don't like the breaking glass !

ahh sweet silence, guess I should have looked there(thanx!), too bad it doesnt fix the error. Ya see I pump the audio thru 120w receiver/bose speakers and when the glass breaks oddly enough even when I expect it

Joewee,
No that the sound is fixed, post the "malformed url" error message to this forum as a single item and maybe someone can help.

Do you have libdvdcss installed? I believe I used to get that message in xine before i installed that package also, have you set the media preference to the correct device or mount point? I run debian and I would get that message whenever I would install any xine app because xine and kaffeine would assume that my dvd player was at /dev/dvd when it was really at /dev/cdrom.

LOL, the funny thing is that I had everything updated and installed that should of been. I was never able to nail down the specific corrupt issue. There was something corrupt in my profile that came back after I reinstalled the OS cause I kept restoring my profile from tape... When I created a new profile the problems went away...Must have been something in the xine config file I imagine.
Thx.
