Everytime I click on a video clip Kaffeine plays the clip. That's fine. Except that it then stores that clip in a "playlist" that I did not request and can't defeat.
Then everytime another video clip is played, upon completion of that new clip every other clip in the playlist is played in order.
So, when I select a second video clip it plays, and then clip #1 plays. When I select a 3rd clip that plays, then clip 2 plays, then clip 1 plays. And this goes on and on each time I play a new video clip.
I can't find how to turn off this "playlist" feature so that each clip plays as a stand alone action. The only solution I've found so far is to manually delete each clip from the playlist. But this is a huge annoyance considering that previous versions of Kaffeine did not give me this "playlist" by default.
I looked in the Kaffeine user's guide (clicking "help" while Kaffeine is open) but could not find the problem or a solution.
Any ideas, gurus? How can I turn off this annoying "playlist" feature so that once a clip is done it will never play again unless I click on it?
As far as I remember, the default action on clicking in conqueror on media file is "Add to Kaffeine playlist". Can you try to right-click the file, and select "Open with..." instead and see if it adds it in the playlist.
Cheers Sunny
Hi, Sunny. I right-clicked on a file and told it to open with Kaffeine. The clip played, and it was added to the "playlist." Then I tried a 2nd and a 3rd clip, and both of them played and then played each of the previous clips. All were added to the "playlist." So there is some setting (default??) somewhere that is automatically creating a Kaffeine playlist and adding each clip no matter whether I left click on the clip and have it open automatically, or right click on the clip and manually select "open with kaffeine." This newest version of Kaffeine is significantly different than the previous one I got from Red Carpet. The window and the control buttons are quite different. For example, in the previous version there were no player/playlist/Go! tabs immediately above the screen where the clips display. Any other ideas? Thx Gil
