Hi,
after struggling some weeks to get video and sound running in kaffeine
when using DVB-T TV, I coincidentally found a notice in some forum that
installing xine-lib-extras-freeworld could solve my problem. And
indeed, it did.
So my question: Why this package is not installed together with
kaffeine? Well, it's not on the fedora repos, but I found it at the
rpmfusion site.
Weird: "rpm -i xine-lib-extras-freeworld" says:
"This package contains extra codecs for the Xine multimedia library.
These are free and opensource but left out of the official Fedora
repository for one reason or another."
Anybody knows the reasons for that weird policy?
Nothing weird about it. It is standard practise to exclude software
from Fedora that is proprietary or patent encumbered.
