After the recent updates

You updated what ?

I can't open my .avi files

avi is a multimedia container format:
Audio Video Interleave

Testing Kaffeine (xine)

Start kaffeine in the konsole

kaffeine --verbose

--verbose Output xine debug messages

and kaffeine installation check

kaffeine -w

-w, --wizard Run installation wizard

Here it tells:

Kaffeine-Xine...

Re: recent problem with kaffeine

Hi I have problems with Kaffeine and subtitles.
I can't play avi files with srt subtitles file related (ex: movie.avi movie.srt)
The message error come from xine engine:
"I can't play file:/home/blabla/movie.avi#subtitle:/home/blabla/movie.srt"
the problem seems to be from libxine deb package but in ubuntu is a really mess!
libxine1,libxine1-console, libxine1-bin etc...
I found in other forums that the problem is the same in xine-lib 1.1.9: the solution is to downgrade from 1.1.9 to 1.1.8 version of xine-lib: actually we are at 1.1.10 with gutsy (suppose to be solved?), how can I downgrade all the xinelib package in kubuntu?
I'm using kde 3.5.9 and the problem came out after upgrading the system.
Maybe the problem can be from Kaffeine-xine? i tried Codeine to play videos but I can't see subtitles control, only in dragon player kde4 i can see subs control but they're grey and not selectable.
Help please

Gutsy comes with xine-lib 1.1.7. Gutsy backports has, at the moment, xine-lib 1.1.10.

=> You could use 1.1.7/1.1.10 from the official repositories.

how can I downgrade all the xinelib package in kubuntu?

Re: recent problem with kaffeine

Upgrading to Kaffeine 0.8.6 also seems to fix the problem. Of course, when in doubt, it's always wiser to downgrade to official.
