Kaffeine
by Terracotta on Sunday 28/May/2006, @11:02

Why isn't anything said about Kaffeine? Isn't that part of KDE?
It could use a little polish from the amarok artists :) (no not the icon part).
And perhaps a script to install libdvdcss like amarok can do for mp3 support (with a notification for it being quite illegal in the US, but legal in 95% of the other countries on this planet)

No one from Kaffeine was there, so nothing can be said of it.

NO, Please, NO! Let the amarok people continue building their own Frankenstein. I would rather ask Totem artists to look at Kaffeine. All I need in Kaffeine is another set of 300 buttons and tabs.

Remember also that Max Howell, a well known amaroK hacker, also wrote Codeine (http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=17161), a xine frontend which is probably at just about the opposite end of the spectrum from what you describe.

Good news, there is already a Totem-like player for KDE:

AFAIK Ronald stopped working on GStreamer, so he probably also stopped developing Kiss (wich was a proof of concept anyway)

Sorry to hear. Can you give more details on why Ronald quit GStreamer? Do you have a link?

Funny how you say "another". It already received a ton of useless tabs and buttons and toolbar configurability with Kaffeine 0.5. The 0.4.3 layout was quite elegant IMHO and very usable. I still use that version, recompiling once in a while to keep it running with newer libs.

Hey ... I don't see what you are getting at. Kaffeine current (0.8.x) is very useable, has a very clean GUI and even receives (and can save) DVB-T streams from any supported device.

See http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=17161 ... I love it. The only thing that doesn't work too well ATM is jumping in MPEG files - there, MPlayer is a little better (doesn't get stuck).
