Kaffeine is a very versatile KDE media player that, by default, utilizes [Xine] as its backend. It has a simple but intuitive interface (example screenshot) and is easy to setup.

  • Time Shifting

  • Streaming
  • EPG
  • AC3
  • DVB subtitles
  • HDTV (mpeg2)
  • Remote control
  • Handles multiple devices of any type (DVB-{C,S,T} and ATSC1 ).... and even if you have only one DVB device, Kaffeine can simultaneously play and record different channels within a same transponder)
