Comment 76 for bug 210303

Well, to be honest there is more usability tweaking to be done. The behaviour Aitor is experiencing is however intended. Currently the codec installer doesn't track whether it was executed already, if it installed packages successful or if it was already executed for the same file. Thus the only sensible and stable solution is to just assume that you try playing a file, if it can't be played back, kaffeine tries to install an appropriate codec and if it still can't be played back it just aborts. This approach also makes most sense when pushing updates to the list of installable package, otherwise one would need to introduce a lot more magic.

In short, the SVCD just can't be played back, probably because it got some encryption.
