Kubuntu Users:

I want to bring your attention to the above bug numbers on launchpad which 
affects ability to play some DVDs and some MS Windows generated video files 
in Kaffeine.  The issue has to do with XINE trying to install proprietary 
codecs which are already installed and as a result generating an endless 
loop.  The loop is exited when Kaffeine is closed.

The bug is quite annoying for people who are making the switch from MS to 
Kubuntu, which results in some very negative first impressions for Kubuntu 
and KDE from these new users.

If you have any hacking experience with Kaffeine and Xine please take a look 
at this bug in Launchpad.  Someone feel free to copy this email to the 
developers list.


Larry
