Version: unspecified (using Devel) OS: Linux I just upgraded to KDE 4.4.85 using the Kubuntu team beta PPA. When I now click in dolphin on a video file, it opens it and starts playing. However it does not show the video in the main windows but just the options upon starting Kaffeine on its own. See screenshot here: http://images.sjau.ch/img/d1b8c6cc.png However when I then click on Playlist and back again to Playback then the video also shows. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Open Dolphin Click on a video (that triggers it to be started in Kaffeine) Actual Results: The video does not appear, sound works though. See screenshot here: http://images.sjau.ch/img/d1b8c6cc.png Expected Results: It should display the video also.
I can confirm this. I'm also under Kubuntu, so the "confirmation value" is moderate, I guess :) However, you may be interested to hear that Xine UI plays the video correctly, so the problem is not in libxine. Also, when starting Kaffeine manually, I got the following error messages: QStringList Solid::Backends::KUPnP::KUPnPManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(Solid::DeviceInterface::Type) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" QStringList Solid::Backends::KUPnP::KUPnPManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(Solid::DeviceInterface::Type) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" QStringList Solid::Backends::KUPnP::KUPnPManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(Solid::DeviceInterface::Type) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method KUniqueApplication::loadCommandLineOptionsForNewInstance() savior@Onosendai:~$ X Error: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) 2 Major opcode: 12 (X_ConfigureWindow) Resource id: 0x0 X Error: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) 2 Major opcode: 53 (X_CreatePixmap) Resource id: 0x0 X Error: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) 2 Major opcode: 53 (X_CreatePixmap) Resource id: 0x0 X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9 Major opcode: 70 (X_PolyFillRectangle) Resource id: 0x620000f X Error: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter) 4 Extension: 138 (Uknown extension) Minor opcode: 2 (Unknown request) Resource id: 0x6200004
The same problem is in Fedora. A one time switch to fullscreen gets you the video as well.
Could be related to Qt-4.7-beta. A downgrade to 4.6.3 seems to fix it. See downstreambug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=618738
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.
