Playing video under Linux is a frustrating experience. There is a bunch of players available - mplayer, Kaffeine, KPlayer, KMPlayer, Xine, Totem, Kaboodle, Noatun ...

My suggestion is: Let us create ONE fully featured media player with ONE multimedia backend/framework...
I also find that some players play some videos, and others others. The best solution I have come across is GeeXbox. This is OT here, as has little to do with Debian or KDE, although there is a Debian package for generating GeeXbox. It is a very small live CD with a small Linux OS und Mplayer and all required codecs, certainly some unfree ones. It plays almost everything as far as I can see and although no DVD-Nav like Xine, has a super OSD which even allows switching languages and subtitles while the videos are playing. Theo Schmidt
