[Bug 210303] Re: [hardy] kaffeine loops on "Codec package is already installed"

[Harald Sitter]

Hardy patch

** Attachment added: "kaffeine_0.8.6-0ubuntu8.1_to_ubuntu8.2.diff"

** Description changed:

+ SRU description:
+ 1. This bug makes Kaffeine's auto-codec installation loop for media which can't be played back with libxine1-ffmpeg or libdvdcss (e.g. recent versions of WM* or MOV)
+ 2. In the development branch we introduced 2 'returns' in the python script responsible for handling the codec installation (0.8.6-2ubuntu2)
+ 3. Patch attached
+ 4. TEST CASE:
+    * Install Kaffeine
+    * Try opening http://www.nasa.gov/mov/229743main_parachute-640.mov with kaffeine
+    * The codec installer should pop-up and ask whether to install the appropriate codec
+    * The installer will pop-up again and notify you that the available codecs are already installed
+    * The file will still not be playable, but the installer shouldn't loop
+ 5. No regression potential because the returns are additions to QApplication.exit(1) functions.
+ 
  Binary package hint: kaffeine
  
  When I try to play the following file with kaffeine, it says "installing codec" and fails with "Codec package is already installed"
  then it begin again to reinstall the Codec
  this forever. I have to kill kaffeine.
