Dragon Player...
by Apple Pie on Saturday 19/Jan/2008, @00:26

Dragon Player seems OK, but my multimedia solution in KDE 3 is Kaffeine. It's an amazing app, playing CDs, VCDs, DVDs, Video, a useable Konqueror plugin, etc. Will it be ported to KDE 4?

kaffeine4 does exist in svn however, at the moment, it lacks features present in the kde3 version. I'm sure that will change over time.

Kaffeine is my no.1 Multimedia Player and Amarok for mp3, streams etc.
I also miss Kaffeine as a KDE4 app but I use the KDE 3.5x version on KDE4 for DVDs, CDs etc. in the meantime and Smplayer (which looks nice but can't match Kaffeine) for video files. I wasn't so impressed by Dragon Player.
I hope to have a full-featured kaffeine4 soon.

Same here. I like Kaffeine. And I want it on KDE 4.

Dragon Player is being the ultra-lightweight video app, making it ideal for embedding in Konqueror etc. No doubt Kaffeine will be ported and continue to have all the functionality you want.

"I also dig Smplayer."

I was going to say that... it acts amazingly 'smart', resuming playback from the position you left off etc.

well, that was actually the defining feature of codeine (predecessor of dragonplayer): keeping state.

I found quotation from unknown source and author: "Yes, we have started. Kaffeine4 will use Phonon, unfortunately Phonon does not yet implement all features needed by Kaffeine, so do not expect a kde4 version of Kaffeine until at least kde 4.1"

As a simple UI for playing videos fast, dragon player is the best and is a must
addition to kdemultimedia. We also need a full-fledged, feature rich, easy to
use player for which kplayer seems to be the best choice. Unfortunately it is
not as popular as kaffeine, but it works much better, particularly the way it handles removable media is excellent. Looking forward to kplayer being ported...
