Hello,

Thank you for helping me , if you can.

I have tried in vain to make kaffeine play the bbc radio stream content

After installing the win32 codecs, the libdvdcss library, and setting the DMA of my disc to ON, I invariably get this messge: kaffeine keeps complaingin that the libcook.so.6 or that another library failed.


If I try to launch kaffeine from my gui, it works but when i want to access the options to set up the kaffeine engine, where I believe the paths to the codecs are ,I cannot get there 8i suppose this is because my user is not root.

Then, I will i try to do : sudo kaffeine from shell,I read that there was a problem communicating with kaffeine, that it might have crashed.

If I want to launch kaffeine afterwards, I need to reboot my machine.

I've been having the same problem. The implementation of realplayer on the BBC site is really buggy. I can get the listen again streams to play error free in Kaffeine, but live streams are prone to cutting out after 2 minutes or general glitchiness.

Try installing all the mplayer codecs, not just the win32 ones. You can get them from the mplayer website. Make sure kaffeine knows where they are. I have found that the mplayer browser plugin works well on the bbc website.

Alternatively... in the pop up BBC radio player choose the Windows Media Player option, copy the url (it should end with .asx), then click on the Open url icon and paste it into the text entry box.

It's worked for me
