kaffeine on kubuntu

[SpartacusXIII]

I'm sure there is already something posted about this, but i couldnt find it, so im sorry in advanced.

i just recently switched from slackware to kubuntu, and i'm really liking it so far, however, i have encountered some difficulties while trying to get kaffeine to work. it will open up, but when i try to open a file then i always get this error. the error message that i am getting says:

There were no decoders found to handle the stream, you might need to install the corresponding plugins

I've tried a lot of things but nothing has seemed to work so far. does anybody have any suggestions?

Is it necessary that you use Kaffeine? I use VLC and it works great. Try it if you want to.

i dont think its a problem with the program... considering amarok isnt able to play audio either. i think its missing a library.

Kaffeine: Do you have the multimedia codecs installed?

Amarok: Did you install an amarok engine? Try:

sudo apt-get install amarok-engines amarok-gstreamer amarok-xine amarok-arts

This will give you a bunch of engines for amarok. You change which one you want to use in the preferences.

Is it a windows format you should download codecs and place them in this directories: /usr/local/lib/win32.
You'll find the codecs at http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html.

I'm not sure this will help. But as I read your message, it seems you've already used some time os this, so...

thank
i solved the amarok mp3 problem with this

sudo apt-get libxine-extracodecs

but before do this i had to change a string in /etc/apt/sources.list
- we should put # in front CD -
