Kaffeine displays "Codec package is already installed" when the media is not playable

[Aitor Moreno]

Binary package hint: kaffeine

Related bug and discussion: Bug #279072

When a non-playable media is loaded in Kaffeine, it searches for valid codecs in the system. Normally, the correct codecs are found, displaying "Codec package is already installed". The media is not played, but the user is not informed of such situation.

Bug: Usability bug

Step:
Locate a non-playable media (VCD, SVCD or DVD with errors/ invalid compression/ invalid data can be used).
Press Play Button (or by default, it is automatically played)

Result:
Kaffeine start loading codecs, search for codecs, ending with a popup displaying "Codec package is already installed".
Nothing else. The media is not played.

Expected Result:
As the media is wrong, Kaffeine should inform about such situation (maybe after searching for codecs), but at the end, the user should know that the media is wrong.

I can confirm this bug in Kubuntu 8.04.1 with the latest updates.

Ubuntu has got a good codecs installer since 7.04. Please, give more interest to Kubuntu.

Same here in Kubuntu 9.04 (release). Please turn off this message.

The codec system has been totally reworked for Kubuntu 9.10, and false notification of codec packages already being installed are no more.
