HAVE A LOOK AT KAFFEINE HANDBOOK !! +------------------------------------------------------ + +!!!!!!!!!! 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. +!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! + + +Latest Kaffeine version is available on http://kaffeine.sourceforge.net + + +MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: +--------------------- + + *) xine-lib 1.0.2 (we recommend 1.1.1) (http://www.xinehq.de) + *) KDE >= 3.2 (http://www.kde.org) + + *) for DVB support: see README.dvb + *) for the gstreamer player-part: see README.gstreamer + +RECOMMENDED: +------------ + + *) WIN32 Codecs (http://www.mplayerhq.hu) + *) libdvdcss (http://developers.videolan.org/libdvdcss) + + +INSTALLATION: +------------- + +In order to compile and install Kaffeine on your system, type the following in the base +directory of the Kaffeine distribution: + + 1.) ./configure --prefix=KDEDIR --mandir=MANPAGE_DIR (e.g. for SuSE: --prefix=/opt/kde3 --mandir=/usr/share/man) + (use ./configure --help for more options) + + 2,) make + + 3.) make install + + +On the download page you'll find RPM's for most distributions. + +Problems?
