I can run both kaboodle and noatun in R14. Both play .wav, .mp3 and .ogg files fine. I do NOT like the way noatun stays resident in systray. I prefer kaboodle for a one-shot play of a music file.

What about videos in kaboodle?

I am discovering that some user accounts can open both apps but some accounts can't. On the accounts that I can open both, I can get both to play audio files, but I can't get kaboodle to play video files. Just hangs.

Check to make sure you have the needed codecs installed.

The apps work in 3.5.13.2 so I don't think that is the problem. Even if that was the problem, I'd expect the apps do just do nothing rather than freeze and hang. I also would expect some spew in the xsession-error log but there is nothing. I build all of my packages with debugging enabled.

Deleting rc files makes no difference.
