kaffeine-announce Mailing List for Kaffeine

Anyone willing to do some testing for me with Kaffeine, please let me know.
They would be just simple things but a DVB source would be required.

Lasse

Hi guys,

I know I should have done this step earlier. After taking over this
project from Christophe Thommeret long ago and doing a lot of
interesting stuff, I've been busy with real life in the past months
(years) and the situation will not change in the future. As I'm unable
to maintain Kaffeine in an appropriate manner, I've decided to abandon
the project.

Therefore I'm asking whether someone is interested in taking over
maintainership; I've listed the current state of the project at the
end of this mail. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to deal with
patches earlier [ sorry guys! ], so I don't have a logical candidate
or so. But if somebody is willing to take over [ you should know a bit
about Qt and KDE and preferably have some Dvb / Atsc equipment at hand
], I will try to support the handover.

Regards,

Christoph


- Last released version (QT4 / KDE 4): Kaffeine 1.2.2 on 2011-04-04.

This should still be stable enough for many purposes.

- Bug tracker: https://bugs.kde.org/

- Git repository: KDE extragear;
https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/multimedia/kaffeine/repository

There is a transition from xine to vlc going on; needs some love.

[ the release actually happened on August 9; I'm sorry that I forgot
to send a mail in time ]

This is a further (pre-)release with more features, but still some
important stuff missing; see the announcement
at http://kaffeine.kde.org/?q=node/25.

Christoph

This is a pre-release of the KDE4 version mainly intended as a preview
(there are still main features missing). A release more suitable for
end users is planned 1 - 1.5 months later. See the full announcement
at http://kaffeine.kde.org/?q=node/22.

Hi,

My './configure' command ends in this:

----------------------------------------------------------
Kaffeine ERROR:
Kaffeine requires cdparanoia headers and libraries
----------------------------------------------------------

[root@lhs kaffeine-0.8.1]# rpm -aq|grep cdparanoia
cdparanoia-libs-alpha9.8-25
cdparanoia-devel-alpha9.8-25
cdparanoia-alpha9.8-25
[root@lhs kaffeine-0.8.1]#

Is there anything I need to adjust so it sees my cdparanoia libraries 
and headers?  Or are there libraries I'm missing?

Regards,
Tom

This is a bugfix release.

Changelog for 0.8.1:
 
 * fixed: configure check for cdparanoia.
 * Disc: force playing dvd/vcd with engine's default drive if 
kded_mediamanager fails to identify it.
 * kaffeine-part: plug dvd nav actions
 * DVB: write to fifo from a thread to circumvent deadlocks when xine stops 
(or fails) reading.
 * kaffeine-part: set skip forward/backward to 20s (to avoid "skating" when 
seeking in divx)
 * DVB: avoid negative freq value.
 * fixed: system:/media urls
 * fixed: include qapplication.h instead of qapp.h
 * fixed: use memcpy instead of mempcpy(gnu only) in ogg encoder.
 * fixed: ogg encoder makefile.

Hi,

Kaffeine 0.5-rc1 was just released. Whats new?

The GUI was completely redesigned, a lot of code rewritten. Kaffeine is now=
 a=20
single window application and comes with the common KDE look&feel,  like=20
configurable toolbars, statusbar, etc. Player, playlist and the new start=20
window are embedded as tabs. The shell application is able to use different=
=20
player parts (plugins), based on different engines. Currently only the=20
kaffeine-part, based on xine, is fully supported, but you could also use th=
e=20
kplayer-part (mplayer) or kaboodle (arts) for playback. More player parts m=
ay=20
follow in the future.=20

New Features:

=2D Playlist: Artist, Album and Track column added. A list-box in the toolb=
ar=20
makes it possible to switch fast to another playlist. Remembers last played=
=20
track. New queue mode: Select =E2=80=9CPlay next=E2=80=9D from playlist con=
text menu to add a=20
track to the queue. After queue is empty, normal playback will be continued.
=2D New start window provides fast access to most important media sources.
=2D Network transparency: If given protocol is not supported by xine, the s=
ource=20
will be downloaded via KIO system.
=2D New player features: jump to time, mute, fast forward, slow motion
=2D Support for xine's audio post-filters. With xine-lib >=3D 1.0rc6a you c=
an use=20
now the upmix plugin and the really cool stretch plugin.
=2D ASX import improved, rudimentary support for SMIL added.
=2D Use mouse wheel over system tray icon to skip to next/previous track.
=2D File dialog have now default filters for all common formats.
=2D Error dialog shows xine log as details.
=2D Fullscreen: double click switches to full screen, and middle click make=
s=20
toolbars visible.
=2D Improved install wizard dialog checks the installation (xine-lib, DMA m=
ode,=20
etc.).

=46ixed:

=2D Screenshots from anamorphic streams have an correct aspect ratio now.
=2D Distortion removed if user drags volume slider over 50%.
=2D URLs are passed to player without encoding. That fixes problems with th=
e VCD=20
plugin, special characters like '?' and '@' and password protected hosts.
=2D Made fullscreen mode working with fluxbox window manager.
=2D Font encoding of post-filter help dialog is correct now.
=2D Disabled KDE session management. Made a lot of problems.

Hi,

I've just released Kaffeine 0.4.3. Did some fixes for KDE 3.2 and xine-lib =
1.0=20

The Mozilla starter plugin was moved into a separate package.

Hi,

I've just released Kaffeine 0.4.3. The crash on closing with xfree 4.4 
was finally fixed. Besides that we fixed a security vulnerability in the 
mozilla starter plugin and did some improvements:

* using tvtime plugin for deinterlacing
* settings dialog to select deinterlace quality
* incremental playlist search (hide entries that don't match the search 
string)
* made all shortcuts configurable
* if init of audio/video driver fails, try 'auto'
* left click on position slider seeks directly to a position
* mozilla plugin: big code cleanup, works more reliable now, handles 
microsoft media streams better
* konqueror/kpart: made priority higher that kaboodles, fixed problem 
with multiple loadings, improved handling of microsoft media streams
* english/german manpages
* new translations: Slovenian, Norwegian Bokmål

Hints for packagers:
-  a package compiled against xfree 4.4 might not start with xfree 4.3; 
vice versa, a package compiled against 4.3 will crash on closing with 
xfree 4.4 :-(
- please correct all links to http://kaffeine.sourceforge.net - my old 
homepage will be down in some days!
