Hey there,
I've been trying to get kaffeine to work on slackware for a couple of days now, to no avail... Kaffeine 1.0pre2 doesn't support subtitles yet, therefore I can't use it. I've been looking for ways to install 0.88 but it requires KDE3 libs.
Anyone know a workaround to get kaffeine to work?
Also, why the hell can't I find packages/build scripts for slackware 13? Stuff like vlc isn't available, both on slackbuids and slacky (although it is available for 12.2). Is it because it's a fresh release (less time to submit packages/build scripts)?.

Thanks

As you have found out there isn't, yet, a fully functional package of Kaffeine for KDE 4, and there hasn't been any news since February.

If you are running Slackware64, you might try the VLC package from Alien Bob:

But, yes, you are correct, it takes a while for
everything to catch up to the latest release. OTOH, All the Slackbuilds are now available for Slackware 13.

http://slackbuilds.org/

I've got kaffeine-1.0_pre1-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz installed built with sbopkg and it has subtitles.
Works good.

The kaffeine developers released 1.0pre2 in July and version 0.8.8 works fine here. I use the slacky-package for slackware-12.2 and the kde3-compat-libs.

I've installing kaffeine-1.0_pre1-i486-1_SBo.tgz from slackbuilds but the subtitles are still not working. How did you get them to work? Through an option? Or did you rename the subtitle file to the same name as the .srt?
I'm going to try the KDE3 compat libs and kaffeine 0.88
EDIT:I've installed kdelibs3-3.5.10-i486-opt1, but after installing kaffeine 0.88 from slacky I get this error: kaffeine: error while loading shared libraries: libkhtml.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. Any ideas?

The subtitle menu is at the bottom left.
It is "unmarked" with no text to tell you what it is.
Three are 2 of them.
One for "audio language", and one for "subtitle language"

Are you talking about these two buttons? On mine they can't be accessed...

/opt/kde3/lib needs to be in /etc/ld.so.conf.

Alcap:
Yep.
On mine they work.
I'm have English on mine. Maybe that's the difference.

That fixed it . Thanks. But I'm now missing libqt-mt.so.3. Any ideas to where I might find it?

I installed the compat-packages:

arts-1.5.10-i486-opt1
kdelibs3-3.5.10-i486-opt1
qca-tls1-1.0-i486-opt1
qca1-1.0-i486-opt1
qt3-3.3.8b-i486-opt1

I've figured it out myself, but thanks anyway . I've got kaffeine 0.88 to work thanks to you
