Version: 2.0 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-11-generic When I want to play a dvd dragon player opens but doesn't play the dvd. Also .avi files can't be played. and when trying a couple of times dragon player crashes..
what is the phonon engine that you use ?
I can confirm that Dragon Player doesn't play some files. In my case, it seems to be unable to play some mkv files. I select the file, click the play button, and nothing happens, not even a dialog telling me that the file can't be played, much less why. The same files can be played without errors using mplayer. Other types of files (tested with mp4 and avi), and even some mkv files, play just fine (except for the fact that, in the case of mkv files, dragon player doesn't show the subtitles track when playing them; however, mplayer does). Calling Dragon Player from the command line with the file to be played as an argument produced the same results. Normally, I'd say it's a problem with the specific files or the format, but the fact that other players can handle the same files and that dragon player seems able to play other files in the same format seems strange to me. I'm using the Xine phonon engine on Debian Testing. KDE version is 4.3.2 (latest one available on the Debian Testing repos), with Dragon Player 2.0. If need be, I could test other file types, or the same files with programs other than Dragon Player and mplayer.
Please make sure you have the appropriate codecs for Xine to play the files.
Created attachment 38893 [details] Output of ls /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.26
The previous attachment is a list of the contents of my xine plugins directory. I included it in case it helps, since I seem to have all the necessary codecs to play the files with which I'm experiencing problems (there's an mkv plugin in there, and the problematic files are all matroska files). As additional information, the affected files all seem to contain mpeg4 video and AAC audio, with ASS subtitles (and I also seem to have the mpeg codecs, not sure about AAC though, but even if I was missing that I should at least get video output, and I don't). I also checked which xine packages I have installed, and it looks like I have all plugins available for my distro (Debian testing, packages libxine1-misc-plugins and libxine1-plugins).
