I noticed the same problem in 13.2. If you start Kaffeine it asks you whether
"you want to install additional support", and fails to install the codecs even
if the necessary repo (Packman) is added to the system.

I investigated it, and there are two problems actually:
- Kaffeine tries to install libxine1-codecs, but it is built against libxine2
since openSUSE 12.2.
- ksuseinstall (an openSUSE-specific patch to kdelibs4) fails to install the
packages, because it uses "zypper what-provides" to get the package name but
zypper's output has changed in 13.1, totally breaking this function.

I created fixed packages here, if you want to try (you need kaffeine and
libksuseinstall1):
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/wolfi323:/branches:/OBS_Maintained:/kaffeine/

Or if you use KDE:Current:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/wolfi323:/kaffeine/

It should work when you install libxine2-codecs from Packman.
