Codecs to run *.rmvb with Kafeine/Xine

Good evening,

as the title tells I have an issue with *.rmvb-files and Kaffeine, using the Xine-Engine. The picture is flawless, but I have no sound during playback. KMplayer handles it perfectly, but I'm just more used to Kaffeine and like the interface a lot more. With Kubuntu I never really had problems, so I think that the problem is of a rather trivial nature.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

regards, cg

AFAIR, kaffeine can also use mplayer (and gstreamer) as an engine.

-edit-

Well, actually you said it yourself - but my notion is that you can have the kaffeine interface and the goodness of mplayer engine, which seems to decode rmvb properly.

If you use MPlayer for Kaffeine, the control scheme completely changes. The Xine-Control-Scheme is what I really want to use, just because I do not fully like the way, KMPlayer is controlled.

For instance, when pressing 'ESC', the movie instantly halts. I do not want this, as it happens far too often.

I may only suggest you to give KPlayer or VLC a try. Maybe they will fit your needs.

Obviously, fixing kaffeine with xine engine would be the best solution, but, alas, I can't help you with that ;-)
