INTRODUCTION
  Dragon Player is a very simple Phonon-based media player. It was originally 
  developed by Max Howell and called Codeine. I ported it to KDE 4.0 and on 
  Max's suggestion renamed it to Video Player (probably, I might still
  rename it.)  

  Similar to Max, I make the following promises:

    * I will not add any substantial features after version 2.0.0
    * After then, improvements will only be in the realm of usability, bug
      fixes, portability and allowing users to play their media.

  The aim of Dragon Player is to "just play my video." Precedence will be given
  to short simple menus and being configuration-free over additional features.
 
  If you do have bugs, feature requests or (even better) features you want 
  removed, you can usually catch me in #amarok on irc.kde.org using a variation
  of the nick eean.

  Thanks!

REQUIREMENTS
  You will need at least:

    * kdelibs 4.0
    * The Xine backend for Phonon, located in kdebase
    * xine-lib 1.1
CMake is also required to build Video Player.

Note that currently Xine is required since Phonon in KDE 4.0 lacks a few
features (subtitle and multiple audio tracks). For KDE 4.1, Video Player
should be a pure-Phonon player, with no explicit Xine requirement.

You could hack the CMake build system and use Video Player without Xine,
it would probably work fine just without the aforementioned features.

DEBUG MESSAGES
Dragon Player will output additional messages to the console if in your
dragonplayerrc file (normally located at ~/.kde4/share/config/dragonplayerrc)
you add the line:
Debug Enabled=true
under the [General] header.
