Configuring video player

[Dotan Cohen]

I had recently updated a friend's system from KDE 3.5.10 (Kubuntu
8.04) to KDE 4.1 (Kubuntu 8.10). Both were/are using Digikam 0.9.4.
Although the KDe 3.x installation played video files in Digikam
through mplayer, the KDE 4.x installation does not. Furthermore, I
canno figure out where to configure this. In Settings -> File Types
(translated) I can configure _which_ files are considered video,
however, I cannot configure with which application Digikam will play
the files. Thanks.

The video application is loaded automatically by kdelibs when digiKam need it. the video application is a KDE plugin. I recommend to use Kaffeine (xine frontend).

To configure video plugin, play a video in digiKam and go to pop-up menu by right click on video preview aera

That's just the problem, Gilles. I cannot play videos in digikam! When
I click on a video file I get the text "No media player available...".
I can right-click a video icon and select "Open With..." however the
file is then opened in an external application and there is no setting
to make this permanent.

Install xine lib + kaffeine plugin.

Thanks. I will add that to the wiki.

By the way, the Xine plugin does not have the play / control buttons
that the mplayer plugin did. I cannot find anything related to mplayer
that looks related to kipi, however. Do you by chance know the package
name?
