Kaffeine
![]() |
Kaffeine - a full featured media player that can fulfil all the basic multimedia tasks. |
Capabilities
With Kaffeine you can:
- Play:
- Audio files
- Video files
- VCDs
- DVDs
- Watch Digital TV

If you have a working dvb-t card in your system, Kaffeine knows about it and shows a button on the start tab "Digital TV". It shows as well a new configure option on top "Television".


All you have to do, after you select your source, "hessen-de" in my
case, is to click the button.

Add then the found/selected channels to the left (as in the screenshot already done) and you're ready to watch TV.
The next screenshot shows the video and channel select window:

Recording is as simple as well:

There's even a program guide:

This helpful tutorial gives another view of how to set up and use Kaffeine to watch digital TV.
