Other than Task Manager, Firewall and the processes loaded at startup, no other programs were open. I clicked on Kaffeine in the Main Menu and the program opened to the main window and the crash/debug window appeared. I just attempted to use the program again, the Kaffeine - The KDE Crash Handler window appeared and I copied this detail from it: Executable: kaffeine-xbu PID: 28622 Signal: Bus error (7) Time: 08/04/15 11:02:22 PM It will not play mp4 files or DVDs. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on Kaffeine from software menu 2. (or) Open Terminal 3. Type in Kaffeine, press enter Actual Results: Kaffeine opens to the Start Menu then the Kaffeine - The KDE Crash Handler window appears. Expected Results: Just open to the Start Menu It will not play any of the following supported media files- mp3, mp4, CDs, DVDs
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 is on an old version that we're not maintaining anymore, I'm closing the bug. If you find similar issues with version 2.0.1, please re-open.
