>sorry, just found out that noatun does not play videos any more. 

Ah, okay, ignore my previous response. :)

>Anyway, kaffeine-trinity does.

Yes, but kaffeine is not a default app. Ditto for kmplayer. 
Anything in the applications branch is not a default base app.

Kaboodle is part of tdemultimedia, which makes kaboodle the default 
video player, but is broken and only supports older versions of avi 
and mpg.

We probably should test a base Trinity installation to learn what 
still works and what breaks and what limitations users encounter. 
Many of us are long accustomed to adding a bunch of additional apps 
and we no longer use the "default" apps.
