Description Andrew Ash 2007-02-26 01:07:44 UTC

Version:           0.8.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Goldenear first reported this bug in Launchpad:  https://launchpad.net/bugs/44306

The issue is that when Kaffeine plays a remote file, it loads it into /tmp.  But whenever the file is played again or restarted, Kaffeine tries to redownload the file instead of using the cached version in /tmp. Ideally, it would recognize that the file which is requested to be played is already in /tmp and load from that location instead.

Thanks

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.
