Could be. I have only gotten as far as reporting the issue to Debian
BTS. I have not tried to reach upstream about it. Anyone already in
contact with them?

Do you have any special configuration? Does it work through the
proxy?

Do you have more test sites?

Good.

We could switch the kaffine-mozilla plugin to start vlc instead. It
seem to work equally well. :) All that is needed is a change in the
'exec' call. Neither work with the filmarkivet.no site, though.
Kaffeine do not support H264, and vlc do not support the SMIL play
list used. :(
