The Kaffeine version you're using is too old... it still uses the xine backend to play videos. We moved to libVLC sometime ago, and we just released upstream a version 2.0.1, with is based on KDE5. So, lots of change too. Could you please test the upstream version and see if it works? The README file contains instructions about how to compile it. You can find it at our git repository: https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kaffeine.git As this BZ seems to be related with a too old version, I'm closing the bug. If you find problems with version 2.0.1, please re-open. Thanks for getting back to me and please excuse my ignorance but why can I not find the update for Kaffeine on Apper. Please help, how do I download and install the new version, I am not a programmer.

The new Kaffeine version is at the KDE upstream tree and was released on Monday. It will take a while until the distributions update it, and, depending on the distribution policies, it may require you to upgrade to a newer version. You may try to open a ticket at the SUSE's bugzilla reporting the issue there, or you may try to compile it yourself from the sources. I can't help you much with SUSE, as I'm currently don't have it installed on my machines. |
