I spent a lot of time trying to find the solution. I installed millions of codecs and players. VLC and SMPlayer works fine but not Kaffeine.
This one is configured as default player and I like interface of Kaffeine. Other players doesn’t load files to playlist automatically from current folder. It has usual shortcuts for me. And other stuff.
BTW where is the settings of Kaffeine what codecs to use and others? Is there log. I assume I can find some error message.
Kaffeine uses the codecs which you can download through the Multimedia in One-click facility (http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_formats) - if you had gone to the Multimedia page, you would have found it.
I installed the codecs, but it didn’t help. It seems to be some other problem. Because when I ran Kaffeine first time it said “no codecs”. I don’t get pop-up “no codecs” now but the video-files are not played.
First, Kaffeine uses libxine2 so make sure you have libxine2-codecs installed.
Then, what gfx card and driver are you using?
Maybe xine tries to use a video output module that doesn’t work on your system.
VAAPI can cause problems with radeon cards, so you should install something like libvdpau_r600 (depending on you card of course) so that xine can use VDPAU instead.
What output do you get when you run Kaffeine in a terminal window?
You can try to explicitely set a different output module in the file ~/.kde4/share/apps/kaffeine/xine-config, search for a line containing this and change it accordingly: (remove the leading ‘#’ for it to have effect)
#video.driver:auto
F.e. try:
video.driver:xshm
You can also try xine-ui, that one has a GUI for setting all the options (you have to increase the “experience level” though on the “gui” tab to have the video driver setting appear). The resulting config file can be used with Kaffeine as well, just copy it over:

Looks like I have a problem with libvdpau. I installed libvdpau_r600, but no result. Also I have libvdpau1

Apparently you have the fglrx driver installed, right?
Then libvdpau_r600 won’t work AFAIK.

Well, just create that folder and the file xine-config in there with the content I suggested.

You seem to have xine-ui from an older openSUSE version (12.2 maybe?).
Install the one from 12.3:
sudo zypper in -f xine-ui-0.99.7-5.1.2
Then it should work.
And maybe post your repo list, because with the correct repos you shouldn’t have that older version.
I don’t know how but I successfully installed Kaffeine 0.8.8 (Kaffeine which is not working is 1.2.2) and it works.
I checked the repos and found out that my packman repo is old. I updated the repo.
I think the issue is solved, I don’t want to mess with it further.
