Dragon player is one of the best/simple video players, but are they going to keep that name? Come one, Dragon Player, thats more childish then something that starts with K.

Is there an easy way to switch the audio track or turn subtitles on and off? Is there a way to record whatever internet stream it is playing? Without those features I would respectfully have to stick with Kaffeine.
It would then be a case of "90 percent of people only use 10 percent of the features, therefore we can cut the other 90 percent of the features and still keep 90 percent of the people happy" backfiring, since the set of features people uses differs from person to person.
I really do miss the days when KDE was about enabling, and giving features, and allowing users the opportunity to ignore them, but at least they *are there* for those who do use them. If my software is going to ascribe to gnome philosophies, I might as well use Gnome.

You know, there's a reason it's so common to hear of application "extensions" or "plug-ins" these days.

Kaffeine is still a good choice

You can switch audio tracks and subtitles. I do plan on adding any feature that's that's make or break in being able to watch a movie. Having subtitles for a foreign film would be one of those. :)
Recording streams is actually a (somewhat hidden) feature Codeine had, so who knows I might add it back sometime in the future.
But really, no one is taking away your Kaffeine. How does having a simple video player mean that omgbbq KDE hates features. Kaffeine is alive and well in KDE extragear and I expect it to be back ready to serve their current users and new users who just expect more features out of their video player.
