Kaffeine is a simple and easy to use media player
based on the xine-lib and full integrated in KDE3.
It supports drag and drop and provides an
editable playlist, a Konqueror plugin, a Mozilla plugin, OSD, and much more.

Toolbars/Statusbar settings are now restored correctly. Single letters
are allowed for shortcuts. The playlist is undockable (in a separate
window). Its possible to select an alternate font encoding for meta
tags. A buffer overflow vulnerability has been fixed (it was possible
to crash Kaffeine with specially-crafted RealAudio playlists). The ARTS
driver works again (it was muted). The frame border that was visible
in fullscreen mode has been removed. Titles are now shown correctly
(sometimes, there were squares instead of characters). This release
autoresizes to the original/double/triple size of the video.
The GUI was completely redesigned, and a lot of code rewritten. This release is a single window application and comes with common KDE look and feel, like configurable toolbars, statusbar, etc. The improved playlist and the new start screen are embedded as tabs for fast access to most important media sources. The shell application is able to use different player parts. Currently only the kaffeine part, based on XINE, is fully supported. New features include: a queue mode; network transparency via KIO; mute, fast forward, and slot motion; support for XINE's audio post plugins; and much more.
There are some fixes for KDE 3.2 and xine-lib 1.0 rc4: in full-screen mode, the kicker panel no longer appears. Broken icons have been fixed. There are font encoding fixes. This release uses the software audio mixer by default. The video settings dialog and equalizer are non-modal now. The Mozilla starter plugin was moved into a separate package.
A crash that occurred on closing with XFree 4.4 was finally
fixed. A security vulnerability in the Mozilla starter plugin was
fixed, and the tvtime plugin is now used for deinterlacing.
Incremental playlist search was implemented, and all of the
shortcuts were made configurable. The Mozilla plugin and kpart
can now handle Microsoft media streams better.
A lot of work on stability was done. Many bugfixes
were made. All meta information is now read on
loading. Support for multiple subtitle files was
added. DVD menu navigation can be done with the
arrow keys and the enter key. An auto resize
feature was added. The playlist status bar shows
the total entries and total playtime. The setup
dialog was improved. Quicktime and real-time
support were fixed.
