 |
|
Phonon can use both Gstreamer and Xine backends for media playback, however I doubt this is actually happening for kaffeine, reason being it does not play WMV nor does totem (which I'm not sure if it's using Gstreamer or Xine)... they show an unhelpful error. Everything works file with Mplayer... however it too has a few exceptions. I configured KDE to playback through Xine, but the problem persisted with Kaffeine and of course Totem making me believe changing the backends is actually not working.
To top that all off, I don't know how to make Totem use Xine.
So basically I wanna know how to set the backends with both of these programs.

Maybe niether Xine nor GStreamer support that file type/codec.
You could install Phonon with mplayer backend  |

No, that was not the point, I want Gstreamer + xine + mplayer all supported.

Sounds like missing useflags. Kaffeine doesn't use phonon, it uses xine. Check you have ffmpeg useflag set for xine-lib to get WMV support.
Totem uses gstreamer, so I guess you need media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg. Not sure what totem has to do with KDE and phonon backends though.
