Kaffeine is the best media player I've found for everything!
Thanks to the developers of Kaffeine. After trying Mplayer and others, this is the best player I've found, and it works great with my Mandrake installation. I know this Kaffeine frontend is based on the backend xine; but it plays things in my browser better than mplayer plugin, gxine plugin, and some others I've tried. It plays almost anything. I'm so glad I found it. Wonder why my distribution doesn't include it in their available packages?
Try this:
Remove xine from your system, and download xine from xinehq.de and build it, and install it. Then re-install kaffeine. You also may have to add to your ldconfig. I don't understand ldd or ldconfig, but I think in bash you use the "export" command. Look in xine and kaffeine's readme and install files for help.
Hey, I've been trying it out, and it does, looks nice as a media player should, with menus and fast gui's. However, I simply cannot get the codes properly installed. Also, DVD playback seems to be disabled in SuSE.
I've tried to use mplayer's codec on it, going into configure xine >> codecs and setting the path to the /usr/local/lib/codes (mplayer's default path).
Any tips with codecs? Or should I be better off reinstalling everything?
