Kaffeine - stopped working?

Dunno why this got tacked-onto the Synaptic thread?

Aidan - the best way to troubleshoot is to start Kaffeine from a console. 
Alt->F2, konsole, <enter> Then kaffeine <enter>
That will show the errors and give you some way to start troubleshooting.

Otherwise, installed mplayer - it just works! Or VLC Player - also cool.
