[Digikam-users] MPlayer and VLC missing

[Peter Shute]

So it's a KDE startup problem?  OK, thanks, then it won't be causing the problem with the Light Table.

This is not digiKam, but KDE phonon interface which play with
multimedia backend, as xine, mplayer, vlc...

There is not multimedia backend code in digiKam. We use phonon api. that all...

I press OK and get a similar message about VLC.  I press OK and get one about MPlayer again.  This repeats 7 times for each of those programs, then digiKam starts, and seems to run ok, apart from the Light Table problem.
