Version: (using KDE 4.3.2) OS: Linux Installed from: openSUSE RPMs In openSUSE 11.2, Kaffeine displays a big red x with no useful error message when the user attempts to play a file without the necessary codecs installed, which by default is almost every media file (Screenshot: https://bugzillafiles.novell.org/attachment.cgi?id=328843). It would be much more usable for the error message to say that the codecs are not installed (and to suggest a solution such as installing libxine1-codecs)
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: https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kaffeine.git If you find similar issues with version 2.0.1, please re-open.
