17 Hmm. smplayer2 works/looks fine here. (smplayer2, not smplayer, here.)
18
19 I think I've seen the error a couple times in konsole (stdout/stderr)
20 output, but as anyone who often runs kde apps from konsole surely knows,
21 kde apps tend to be incredibly noisy on stdout/stderr anyway, and that
22 was before this whole thread, so I just though it was kde being kde.
23
24 But I certainly haven't noticed a problem on ~arch, running kde
25 4.10.49.9999 (live-4.10-branch, updated a couple times a week) from the
26 gentoo/kde overlay, along with libpng-1.6.1-r1, according to equery.
