[SOLVED] Kaffeine - audio only, no video.
« on: September 05, 2010, 03:24:31 AM »
Hi, I have a problem with Kaffeine which only seems to have cropped up since updating to KDE 4.5.1. The symptoms match those in this post http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,77773.msg641997.html#msg641997, I had the same problem at that time too, but the workaround (moving from playback to television and back again) is no longer working for me. Has anyone else come across this, or have a suggestion to fix the problem?
N.B. I've tried playback in SMplayer, which still works fine.
Thanks.

I'm using Minime KDE 2010.07 fully updated.

Well can't say it is clear to me what problem in the link, seem to be a few.
Do you get any error messages when you try to start kaffeine from konsole?

The workaround still works for me when I'm playing a video file. When I'm watching television I get video by switching to full screen and back.

I think there is a new version of Kaffeine just around the corner.

You're right about a new version of Kaffeine, I've requested version 1.1 in package suggest which I'm hoping might help. I don't use Kaffeine to watch TV, just video files. The workaround to switch to TV and back doesn't work for me now, it did on KDE 4.5.0, but doesn't since I upgraded to KDE 4.5.1.

Unfortunately the upgrade to Kaffeine didn't help, so I tried a few other things to try and solve my problem. Since nobody else seemed to have the same issue, it must be related to my individual set up. Turning off desktop effects made no difference, however changing back to the default Oxygen from the QtCurve style I was using did the trick. Which was when I realised the problem had been between keyboard and chair all along, I was using a theme using transparency in QtCurve. After disabling window transparency in Kaffeine (SMplayer had this disabled by default, in the theme I was using), everything worked as before. It seems that the upgrade to KDE 4.5.1 coincided with my Kaffeine issue, and I 'forgot' about switching to a transparent QtCurve theme around the same time!
