!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!!!

Live DVB only works with the xine backend (XinePart).
|
|
|
|
|
Depending on your distro, this package could be called kaffeine-xine.
|
|
|
|
|
Install it, start Kaffeine and change the backend in menu->settings->engine, then restart Kaffeine.
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this is only needed for live playback. All other features (recording, broadcasting..) do not depend on the backend.
|
|
|
|
|
Anyway, I strongly recommend the xine engine even if you don't have a DVB device. All others are incomplete and/or buggy.
|
|
|
|
|
Also note that for licensing reasons, some distro (kubuntu, suse) comes with "restricted" media libraries (xine, gstreamer),
|
|
|
|
|
so you won't be able to play some media files (in fact the most common ones:().
|
|
|
|
|
You will have to install an "unrestricted" version in order to play all your media files.
