Bug Description
Kubuntu Karmic Alpha 4 - updated packages as at 28/9 August 2009
Kaffeine, when playing a file (eg, MP4 TED Talk) from a samba share on a networked PC, stops playback, losing it's place in the file. The same file, copied to the local PC, plays perfectly, with no interruptions or problems.
This seems to happen on many types of media, MP4, .flv, avi etc.
Kaffeine is launched for this by opening up the shared directory in Dolphin, and clicking on the file, if that's any use.

I have the same problem. Both Kaffeine and Dragon Player stops playback on all tested files after some time.
This seems to be network-related, or at least to dhclient in some way, since after I increased DHCP lease time from fifteen to thirty minutes it played twice as much as before - whopping 34 minutes - before stopping playback.
I'm not loosing network connectivity, it's only playback that's not working.
Even Totem and MPlayer seems affected, but they stop much earlier.
I'm unable to get debug information, if someone tells me how I will gladly attach it.
