I have upgraded my media center to SuSE11.2, KDE4.4.1 and am having a number of problems getting various applications to work. So in this thread I would like to get help with Kaffeine which is being stubborn and not willing to play mp3 files. (I do have Amarok and mPlayer both playing mp3 files but have other issues with them as well..) I have done a lot of internet research as well as searching through forums, and I found what appeared to be a pretty good writeup on how to check if everything is installed ok. - http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/multimedia/400119-check-your-multime... Though it is a bit dated, I figured it would be a good starting point. So I followed the steps and include the output below. Seems ok to my untrained eyes.. Have others gotten Kaffeine working under KDE4.4.1 and if so what were the magic incantations? Much appreciate any and all offers of help... Marc.. Output from the 10 steps of checking your multimedia problems...
