Bugzilla – Bug 1217814
this is limited to Wayland - kaffeine diplays a separate VLC window instead of integrating it into the backend

This bug does only present in Wayland, in X11 all is perfect. When you use Kaffeine with a dvb-s card under Wayland, it works as foreseen but, the window of the TV screen is presented as a separate independent and frameless floating window. The change of channel etc are all working as expected in kaffeine, but of course you have two windows open, which makes the use under Wayland tedious/weird. Will try to make you a screenshot and put it as attachment.
Created attachment 871158 [details] described bug - detached vlc window instance under kaffeine with wayland as described above. When closing the window with the picture, sound may continue for a while. Kaffeine will close or hang and has to be killed
That's https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397594 You can try running `kaffeine -platform xcb` as suggested in comment 5. Note that kaffeine is unmaintained upstream.
