when attempting to play a webm file using kaffeine, a message comes up saying that "Kaffeine currently cannot play some file formats. Do you want to install additional support?" If install is selected, it will say "The software to install could not be found in the currently enabled software repositories"
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_Main... Or if you use KDE:Current: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/wolfi323:/kaffeine/
The video that plays will output audio, but the video output is black. This happens even though the libvpx1 package is installed, so kaffeine should be able to play webm videos. Gwenviews plugin is able to play the video correctly.
It should work when you install libxine2-codecs from Packman. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
