gxine

xine is a free multimedia player. It plays back CDs, DVDs, and VCDs. It also decodes multimedia files like AVI, MOV, WMV, and MP3 from local disk drives, and displays multimedia streamed over the Internet.

gxine interprets many of the most common multimedia formats available--and some of the most uncommon formats, too. All those features come in a reusable library (xine-lib) which can easily be embedded in your applications.

What is new in this release:

• A playlist segmentation was resolved.
• input_menu() now works again.
• Build fixes were made.

What is new in version 0.5.906:

• gxine can now handle gamma, sharpness, and noise reduction controls, if supported by the selected video output driver. Handling of iconization was improved.
• Focus grabbing in the absence of Xinerama was fixed.
• Portability enhancements were made.
• Other minor bugfixes and enhancements were made.

What is new in version 0.5.904:

• Add a lock to avoid a race which can cause GTK crashes when updating the console log window.
• Cope better with invalid UTF-8 when adding text to log buffers.
• Properly encode name & password for HTTP auth. (xine-lib 1.2)
• If the user cancels the HTTP auth dbox, don't re-ask if repeating.
• Avoid multiple instantiations if ~/.gxine is missing.
• Split full-screen stickiness control into a default flag (set via the prefs window) and a runtime flag (set via the View menu).
• Add x-content/video-dvd etc. to the MIME types list in the desktop file.
• Use and prefer to use xdg-screensaver (where available) for screensaver defeating. Disabled by default.
• Disable hiding of the video window (via "hide video" or the tray icon) when in full-screen mode, else gxine will crash (BadMatch).
• Don't crash when notified of the creation of a system tray.

What is new in version 0.5.903:

• Apply auto-detection of DVD and VCD images to files & directories which are dragged to gxine.
• Fixed a problem which would cause a segfault during startup if built against xine-lib 1.1.12 but used with an older version.
• Combine pairs of message dialogue boxes into single dboxes.
• Console output is now duplicated in a new "console" tab in the log window.
• The log window content is now oldest entry first.
• The log window's "refresh" button is not present if used with xine-lib 1.1.13 or later (log callback is now implemented). Instead, there's a "clear" button which works per tab.

Requirements:

• Xine
