You're way beyond my level there. Hopefully smplayer does work for you |
| 8 |
after workarounds, etc, but I'm afraid I won't be of much more help, |
| 9 |
there. |

Did you have time to try the other phonon backends, phonon-vlc or phonon- |
| 12 |
gstreamer, and that didn't work, or are you trying smplayer first and |
| 13 |
will only fall back to kaffeine and the phonon thing if that can't be |
| 14 |
made to work? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Also, it's not of much help now, but given how advanced smplayer already |
| 17 |
is, the author is obviously targeting the user wanting more than just the |
| 18 |
typical media control buttons. As such, I'd /guess/ he'd be quite |
| 19 |
willing to work to integrate additional functionality you may need, if |
| 20 |
you simply ask, and especially if you can well explain it for |
| 21 |
implementation and are willing to bug-squash with the first |
| 22 |
implementations. It may well be that smplayer could have all the |
| 23 |
functionality you need integrated, in a couple versions, if you just ask |
| 24 |
and are willing to test for him. =:^) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
But I'm just guessing. I've not contacted him myself and couldn't |
| 27 |
presume to speak for him or obligate him. Still, the chances are far |
| 28 |
higher there, than they would be with, say, dragonplayer, kde's default- |
| 29 |
as-shipped media-player-for-dummies. |
