Apollon Player doesn't work

Lier · 03-17-2005, 08:25 PM

I've installed Apollon and everything works fine but the player.
The only thing that appears on the window it's this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Media player could not be loaded
Please install the KDE multimedia-video package to enable the media player.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know you must be thinking that i miss kdemultimedia3-video-3.3.0-13.1 package or kdemultimedia3-devel-3.3.0-13.1, but no, i have the 2 installed on my system and they are working fine.
I've installed Apollon-Gift-Plugins from the one-installer from apollon web-page.

So, what's the problem??????????

Thanks.

I had been wondering about this as well. Just recently I decided to have a look at Apollons source and found out the media player is actually Kaboodle imbedded. So installing Kaboodle should fix it.

Specifically, it looks for the file "Kaboodle_component.desktop". It's a shame they haven't made it more configurable. It probably wouldn't be hard to hack it into using another KDE player. I'm sure they'd even appreciate a patch.

The multimedia-video package should have Kaboodle packaged in it, I think. I use split packages though, so Kaboodle is seperate.
