Error thrown by Kaffeine

Since installing openSUSE 11.2, whenever I try to open any media file I get an error from Kaffeine.  Screenshot attached.  What debug info can I provide?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on a media file (.mpg, .avi, .wmv)

Did you install the needed codecs for the formats you want to play? http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_Formats/

Check that you have libxine1-codecs installed and try again with a clean user.

Thanks, I thought I had the codecs installed, but it turns out I did not.
The error message is really really bad.  It's just a big red x (see the screenshot).  I've updated this bug to reflect that the error message should be improved.
