I got small problem with Kaffeine. It doesn’t want to run while
previewing video files WITH kaffeine works without problems?? I have
Packman repo active, downloaded w32 codecs and xine codecs. Kaffeine
doesn’t want to run from terminal. I have mplayer also and it works with
no problems. I tried reinstalling kaffeine, didn’t work. I tried
removing config files kaffeinerc, didn’t work. I don’t know what to do
anymore.

Can you start kaffeine from a konsole, typing: ::kaffeine::
and post here the errors that you get.
Also, please provide the output of:
::rpm -q kaffeine
rpm -qa xine
rpm -qa ffmpeg0::
OK, I’m bad. … I meant to type instead (asking you to post the
output from):::
rpm -qa | grep xine
rpm -qa | grep ffmpeg::please, can you type the above two
lines and provide the output.
Note, your kaffeine version is NOT packaged by Packman. This could be
part (but not all) of your problem.

Repos such as KDE backports should be used VERY SPARINGLY. ONLY use if
there is a specific app version that you ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE. The
backports can cause problems (as you can see). So avoid them.
If you look back over my posts, I recommend ONLY 4 repos: OSS, Non-OSS,
Update, and Packman. IF one wishes to add more, they had better know
what they are doing, and how to solve them, as problems can happen (as
you have now learned).
I disabled KDE community and backports repo, downgraded kaffeine and
it’s still not working, are there any logs i could look to see where the
problem is?
Should i delete some config folders or files in order for them to
recreate when running kaffeine?

I’m not at a linux pc right now, but there could be other files to
remove (I’m guessing) other than just kaffeinerc. Do you look under
.kde/share/apps (or something like that) for a kaffeine directory ? If
there is such a “beast” rename it to kaffeine.bak and try to restart
kafffeine.
Are you certain you picked up the Packman kaffeine and not the
Novell-SuSE-GmbH kaffeine in what you called a “downgrade” ?

Well i ticked the packman version and made downgrading “update”,
confirmed i have this version by disabling packman repo and checking
available versions and yes i have packman repo now but it looks like KDE
backports repo made uite a mess leaving me with much more “upgraded”
apps. Need to downgrade everything and i’ll never touch KDE backports
repo again

Well what do You know, it helped
I’m not sure what but i think it was kdelibs3 from KDE backports that
caused some problems. Can’t point it to exact package because i
downgraded everything

I forgot to mention, …
I recommend you install libffmpeg0 (packaged by Packman). My view is
that libffmpeg0 is a better app to install than w32codec-all, all thou
both are good, and adding both is IMHO a good idea. By adding
libffmpeg0, that will provide some dependencies, and some of these
dependencies will include codecs that do not come with w32codec-all.
Well i did and it didn’t add any other packages, i got w32, libxine1,
libxine-codecs. I don’t use gstreamer since yauap in amarok had such
crappy quality when playing mp3.
