I can't submit, either.
I've copied your fixed packages into KDF phonon, phonon-backend-xine (unlinked) and phonon-backend-gstreamer-0_10 (new source), doing the rename. Dave was so kind as to submit them.
Thanks guys for taking care of this, it's one less thing to do on a Friday evening!

Great! Thanks a lot.
Submissions and VLC building are both fixed, so I have submitted the updated VLC backend back to playground (renaming the obs name from phonon-vlc to phonon-backend-vlc to make it consistent with the package name).
Once this is accepted and building properly, should I submit vlc and phonon-backend-vlc to KDE:Extra? The developers say it is ready for prime time, so it should probably be moved out of playground at this point since it is no longer considered unstable.
So we know what kinds of complaints to expect, I'd like to see some documentation on the wiki of what it can and can't do * Codecs that work OOTB * Testing of the above with audio, video content in amarok, dragonplayer, bangarang * Playing standalone, playing at the same time as other Phonon apps, playing at the same time as known exclusive apps like Xine * Can our VLC build be used with externally provided codecs?

It's alleged that the 4.4.4 phonon backends download their own codecs (security review?) including a video demo with amarok and nothing negative to be found anywhere. Regards Dave P
I am not sure about VLC, but the gstreamer back-end uses packagekit to download codecs from your own enabled repositories, it doesn't go onto a random website and get them. KDE on openSUSE uses the same method for finding programs for reading files as well, so if it is a security issue it affects all of openSUSE's KDE implementation. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
