Can't preview multimedia files in Apollon

[Juan Ignacio Saitua]

Binary package hint: apollon

I can't preview the multimedia files downloaded with Apollon, because Apollon uses kaboodle as embedded media player, but kaboodle is not installed by default in Kubuntu Gutsy, and the Apollon package has no dependency to kaboodle.

In Kubuntu Gutsy kaffeine/xine is used as the default media player, so I think that Apollon should use xine kpart instead of kaboodle. I recompiled Apollon and changed the file apollonplayertab.cpp to use xine:
   //KService::Ptr service = KService::serviceByDesktopPath("kaboodle_component.desktop");
   KService::Ptr service = KService::serviceByDesktopPath("xine_part.desktop");

So please, instead of fixing kaboodles dependency, make xine the default media player for Apollon and add kaffeine-xine to Apollon dependencies.

Thanks.
