make kaffeine play mpg, avi asf...

paddy · 02-14-2006, 05:53 AM

I don't know how much Kaffeine is supposed to be able to, but mine doesn't play any files at the mo.

so what can I do? I've searched for libraries and decoders but so far without success. I've a freshly installed breezy so gstreamer should still be healthy.

thanks

hi there

Kaffeine is a frontend to multimedia engines like xine or mplayer and etc.

also did u try the plugins from mplayerhq.hu

well, it appears that the video driver didn't work, so I only had to change that and now it works fine. thanks and sorry for bothering

hey masand !
I've the same problem. I am Using Suse 10.0. Kaffine is using Xine Engine.

I however tried searching on the net and came to know that Suse 10 does have a problem with multimedia players. I couldn't find any unanymous answer/tip to solve this issue. Should i go to Guru's site or to packman site or install a mad package....or what else?

masand · 02-20-2006, 11:08 PM

well there are issues for multimdeia with Suse 10.0 so u need to install some extra packages
Either compile that suport in all those package for urself or go to any repository as u mentioned

i too had done the same with suse 9.3

regards
