Kaffeine Crashes When Trying To Play .mkv Files

Hi guys, could anyone help me to solve this annoying issue I'm having with Kaffeine please ?

Everytime I try to play .mkv files it just crashes throwing the following error:
[attachmentid=2304]
[attachmentid=2303]





Today I updated the multimedia codecs, so now I've installed all the required codecs as specified here.

Dixie7:~ # rpm -q flash-player java libdvdcss libxine k3b-codecs w32codec-all
flash-player-9.0.115.0-0.1
package java is not installed
libdvdcss-1.2.9-5.2
package libxine is not installed
k3b-codecs-1.0.4-2.1.pm.0
w32codec-all-20071007-0.pm.1

The version of kaffeine installed here:

Dixie7:~ # rpm -q kaffeine
kaffeine-0.8.6-0.pm.1

What else could be causing this crash ?

kaffeine uses the xine engine. So when kaffeine has difficulty, the very first thing I typically do is check to see if xine-ui has a problem with the same type of file. You can do that using the xine user interface (available from packman):
http://packman.links2linux.de/package/xine-ui

With that installed you can try to open the file with: xine filename.mkv

In the case of both xine and kaffeine, when debugging, open the files from an xterm/konsole. You may get more information than just trying to read popup errors.

Thanks for your help. I installed xine-ui as you suggested, tried to run the file from konsole, and this is what returned:

What do you think I'm missing here to play this kind of files, according to that output ?

rpm -q --whatrequires kaffeine-0.8.6-0

Also, please confirm the Packman packaged version of libxine1 is installed. Type:

rpm -q libxine1

Also check that you have libmatroska installed:

rpm -q libmatroska

you can find it here:
http://packages.opensuse-community.org/ind...ro=openSUSE_103
But I believe it should be on your installation CD/DVD.

rpm -q --requires

kaffeine is better.
Here is what mine gives.Keep in mind, I'm on a 32 bit system.

Now looking through the error message, I see you're have trouble with the plugins.

All the ones that say xineplug_in are part of the xine plugin package

libiso9660.so.5.0.1 belongs to libiso9660-5
libcdio.so.7.1.0 belongs to libcdio[/b]

Then what should I do to solve all those problems ???

BTW... I guy suggested me here to install mplayer, as this player were able to play .mkv files. So I installed it and *BLIM*... it was true! It was able to play .kmv files w/out problems.

* EDIT *

Ok I installed the package suggested by oldcpu:

Dixie7:/media/DOWNLOADS/Music/Videos # rpm -qa | grep libmatroska
libmatroska-0.8.1-37

But I'm still receiving the same crash on Kaffeine:
http://pastebin.ca/978600

I've been suggested by Kaffeine's Forum Admin to install the latest developed version of xine-lib. And effectively I don't have installed that package:

Dixie7:/ # rpm -qa | grep xine
amarok-xine-1.4.8-100.pm.2
libxine1-1.1.11.1-0.pm.1
xine-ui-0.99.5cvs-20071014.pm.3
xinetd-2.3.14-77

xine-lib is not the same as libxine ?? :blink:

Install xine plugin, vcdimager, libiso9660-5, and libcdio. This should take care of Kaffeine crashing.

[/b]

I already had installed all of them:

Dixie7:/home/ssenryo/.mozilla # rpm -q vcdimager libiso9660-5 libcdio7
vcdimager-0.7.23-83
libiso9660-5-0.78.2-4
libcdio7-0.78.2-4

... only that xine plugin I cann't fine. What's exactly the name of that package ??? What I have from xine is this:

Dixie7:/home/ssenryo/.mozilla # rpm -qa | grep xine
amarok-xine-1.4.8-100.pm.2
libxine1-1.1.11.1-0.pm.1
xine-ui-0.99.5cvs-20071014.pm.3
xinetd-2.3.14-77

You want xine-extra.
