Thanks Christian, kmplayer despite the name no longer solely depends on mplayer to provide a functional media player. In fact the way it has been packaged for Debian in svn.debian is that it only depends on the free xine to provide media player functionality and this should go in main and not contrib. It also can use a gstreamer backend, which, whilst also free, has been disabled for the Debian package. Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

See in src/kmplayerprocess.cpp In the same source, mencoder is also called which is definitely not free. The README file isn't ambiguous : , | KMPlayer needs KDE3.1 and a working mplayer/mencoder somewhere in you PATH. ` So kmplayer should go in contrib or all the code related to mplayer/mencoder need to be removed and then kmplayer can go in main.

If you've got some time, can you please review it ? Fathi, Even though you have filed the first ITP, you might like to check with Christian Marillat as he has kmplayer in his archives and your changelog should at least follow on from his.. Especially since his last version number is 1:0.9.1c-0.0 which is greater then your proposal. Ubuntu also have a package so it might be good to sync changes with them. Christian, Jonathan, The Debian KDE-Extras team has uploaded kmplayer to http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-kde/kde-extras/ and we shall upload to the debian unstable archive shortly.
