Comment 8 for bug 404970

I'm happy to participate in the beta improvement. In my opinion, the way you find the most bugs is by using the beta as primary system. I don't mind the beta hick-ups and I don't mind reporting them. But when I want to sit back and watch some tv, or record a show, I would like it to somewhat work. Having to reboot every time I change the channel is a bit much for me, even with the very quick boot times of Karmic ;) .

I don't want to disrespect all the hard work that is put in to the rewrite of Kaffeine and the packaging effort, but maybe the time for the new Kaffeine in the Ubuntu repository hasn't just come yet.

For now, for me I solved the problem by downgrading to the jaunty version of Kaffeine, until the new version is fixed. To do this I:

 * Uninstalled Kaffeine
 * I fetched the debian-package from http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/kde/kaffeine
 * Installed it (simple double click does the trick these days)
 * Locked the version with synaptic, so the update manager ignores it

Maybe this is helpful for others in the same situation.
