Description Armando Diaz-Jagucki 2006-12-01 02:39:34 UTC

Version:           1.0.1 (using KDE 3.5.5, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.17-gentoo-r4

If there is a video playing in Kaffeine, but it is not in Kaffeine's playlist, the 'media' script thinks Kaffeine is not playing anything. Further, if there is an entry in the playlist, and you are watching a different video than that entry, the 'media' script will inform the channel you are watching the video in the playlist, not the currently playing video.

Kaffeine Player 0.8.2

I'm afraid you're making the 'media' script out to be smarter than it is. It merely asks Kaffeine via DCOP (through KaffeineIface::[title|artist|album]) what it claims to be playing. Apparently Kaffeine returns information about the selected playlist entry, not the video that is actually playing, and we have no way to compensate for that, nor should. Reassigning to Kaffeine as it's their bug.

This bug is too old, for a version < 1.3. Closing it, as the latest version is 2.0.1, and lots of things changed since version 1.2.x, including the usage of VLC as video display backend, support for DVB-T2 and ISDB-T via libVLC, etc.

You may check on the upstream version and see if the bug was solved. The README file contains instructions about how to compile it. You can find it at our git repository:

If you find similar issues with version 2.0.1, please re-open.
